ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The loc ilitv in which these Mines are situate is well known
to be one of the richest for lead in the United Kingdom ; and
the neighbouring mines, including ithosesmore, Sm., have for
a long period paid, and are still paying, very large dividends ;
and in the case of the Mine! a Mines in the adjoining (iistrict
of Wrexham, the dividends f'or the last year amounted to no
less than 116 per cent. per annum upon a paid up capital of
£45,0(0, and the sales of lead ore and bleude for the quarter
ending March 31, 1861, amounted to £29,750.

The reports, which are from mining engineers of the highest
respeAability and standing, justify the expectation that
similar resu is will attend the deve opment of the Pant-y-
-huarth lodes in the Pant-y-Buartti United Mines.
A conditional contract has already been entered into with
a high.), responsible engineer to erect the requisite steam
engine -, buildings, &c., and machinery, to drain the principal
mines, to place engines, &c., to three working shafts, and to
provide all the requisite crushing machines, trucks, &c.; and
the engineer is so far satisfied as to the value of the mines,
that he has consented to be paid one-half of such contra t in
shares of the Company.
The capital of the Company has been fixed at £lOO,OOO, but
It is pretty certain that the mines will yield large returns so
soon as the water is drained, rendering it in that case un-
nec:ssary to call up more than one-half of the entire amount.
A large number of the shares have already been taken, and
the Directors will proceed to allot them as soon as the other
necessary applications are received. In the event of no allot-
ment being made, the deposit will be returned without de-
duction or delay.
The reports, prospectuses, plans, and forms of application
can be obtained of the Secretary at the offices of the Com-
pany.

THE ATROCITIES BY THE PRUSSIANS.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in pursuance of a notice
which he had given previously to the noble earl the Secrr,
tary of Foreign Affairs, called attention to the following
telegram, viz :
" SONDERBURG, July I.—At the partial clearance of the
battle-field, yesterday, 400 Swedish volunteers were dis-
covered, to whom no quarter was given."
Which in plain terms meant that 400 wounded men, left in
a helpless state on the field of battle, were butchered in cold
blood by the Prussian soldiery. He wished to know if her
Majesty's Government had received any information which
would enable him to speak to the truth of the statement.
He believed it was true, from what he had heard of other
acts of cruelty perpetrated by the Prussians.
Earl RUSSELL said he had no information respecting
the matter, but be would make inquiry into the circum-
stances and communicate with the noble earl.
BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.

In reply to Lord CRANWORTH,
Lord BROUGHAM said be did not intend proceeding
further with his bill on this subject this session.

NEWMARKET JULYMEETING.—TUESDAY.
" The other aide of the Ditch" is an agreeable change
from the rather sterile aspect of that portion of the Heath
generally used for ncing, and the July Meeting, if the
weather be but propitious, is ens of the pleasantest of the
gatherings at headquarters. The great interest of to-day,
or, indeed, of the whole week, centred in the meeting of
Liddington and the Duke in the July, their previous per-
formances marking them out as the two best of the young
ones the year has yet shown. The other events were devoid
of interest, and to-day's card was meagre in the extreme.
The smallness of the field for the principal event checked
speculation to some extent, nothing being backed but the
two cracks, Both had an eager crowd attending the sad.
dling, while the Due de Morny's Lelio, one of the hand-
somest West Australian's we have yet seen, commanded
universal admiration, though looking hardly as fit as he
might have been. After oscillating all the morning, Mr
Merry's horse wets the favourite at the close. The issue,
as was expected, was left to the two favourites, who came
together half a mile from home, the Duke apparently hav-
ing the best of it at the plantation, but Liddington collared
him within a few yards of the chair, and to the astonish-
ment of the spectators snatched the race out of the fire by a
neck. Judd wae, in fact, " caught napping," and the race
therefore cannot be considered as a true run one.
The attendance was large for a July Meeting, and the
weather everything that could be desired.
A topic of conversation has been afforded the Newmarket
habitues by William Butler having resigned the ca:e of
Lord Stamford's horses. His lsrdship's now trainer is
willialsl Smi h, who has been for souse time in a similar
capacity with the Due de Moiny.

By reason of the heavy Paniamentaty reports, we must
content ourselves with no ifying that M. Gounod7s new
-pera, •' Mireille," under its Italian name, " 11Iire11a," was
performed last evening at 11-,r Majesty's, with a magnifi-
cence in the general "getting up," and an excellence in
the rendering of the music—alike by the principal artistes,
the choruses, and the orchestra—entitled to our nighest
admiration The princpal characters were supported by
qadenloiselles Titiens, Trebelli, Volpini, and Reboux (from
(Paris), Signors Giuglini and Junca, M. Gassier, and Mr
Bantley. The house was thronged, and .tae opera com-
pletely triumphant. " Mirella" is to be repeated to-morrow,

BRISTOL—TUESDAY.
The attendance of buyers to-day was moderate, but
owing to the splendid weather little business was doing.
Foreign wheat, however, being light in stock, maintained
full prices ; while oats, barley, and peas were held also at
former rates,

GREAT ROBBERY.—Yesterday a great robbery
was committed in the premises of Messrs Johnston, the
chronometer makers and jewellers, carrying on business at
54, Threadneedle-street. It seems that one of the clerks,
on attempting to enter the office, found that it had been
opened by a side door, that a large sheet of plate-glass
had been broken, and that goods, consisting of jewels, ix.,
worth £4,000, had been taken away. The police were at
once called in, when it was found that a desperate but un-
successful attempt had been made to force one of Tann's
fireproof safes containing no less than £12,000 worth of
jewels and watches.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills—Momentous Ine
qulrp.—Surrounded as we are by exciting causes of disease,
it becomes our duty to seek some means of expelling hn-
purities from the body, or rendering them harmless. Pro-
fessor Holloway has discovered a medicine capable of
effecting this all-important point, and has generously placed
it within the reach of the poorest. His pills guard the
constituents of the blood, which, when contaminated or
destroyed, permit fevers, inflammations, and other mala-
dies to run riot through and undermine the system, or
consign their victims to untimely tombs. In malarious
districts and unhealthy towns, these pills, after silently
proving themselves the best protectors against level's, dm,
have, within the last few years, been adopted by the pro-
fession and public.

Highgate Arch-way Toll-gate.

-- --,0*........-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sra,-0a the evening of May 16th I interfered and pro-
tected a young gentleman, who was being brutally assaulted
by the two Highgate Arch-way Toll-gate keepers, Thomas
Page and John Felthsrstone.

These men were subsequently convicted by Mr. Barker,
on May 24th, and fined £5, with the option of 21 days' im •
prisonment. I appeared as a witness for the complainant.
I wish, through the press, to inform the public that since
the above occurrence my toll has been raised from 4d.
to 6d.

I have driven the above road almost daily for about two
years, and, until I offended these two men, whom the
worthy magistrate stigmatised as "brutal and cowardly,"
I was charged, what ail other residents on that line of road
paid, viz., 4d. toll; but since nay 16th not only myself,
but any branch of my family who has been recognised by
them has been charged 6d.
Comment is unnecessary.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Wm. H. BRACHER,
15, Great Ormond.street. sth July, 1861.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the woolsack
at the usual hour. . _

Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE said he would
postpone putting the question with reference to the corre-
spondence published in the Morning Post until next week.

THE ATROCITIES BY THE PAITSSIANS.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, in pursuance of a notice
which he had given previously to the noble earl the Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs, called attention to the following
telegram, viz :
" SONDERBURG, July I.—At the partial clearance of the
battle-field, yesterday, 400 Swedish velunteers were dis-
covered, to whom no quarter was given."
Which in plain terms meant that 400 wounded men, left in
a helpless state on the field of battle, were butchered in cold
blood by the Prussian soldiery. He wished to know if her
Majesty's Government had received any information which
would enable him to speak to the truth of the statement.
He believed it was true, from what he had heard of other
acts of cruelty perpetrated by the Prussians.
Earl RUSSELL said he had no information respe-cting
the matter, but he would make inquiry into the circum-
stances and communicate with the noble earl.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 21 pefraille pm., and
th;" short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On
compering these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold le
rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 Per 'nark
W
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in hamburg.
Theecourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 222 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 102 percent. At these rates
,there is a preiit on the
importation of gold from the United Sfatesl

How to IMPROVE PARK-LANE AS A 1110ROUG
FARES—If the houses on the east side of Parkelane
were taken down from Piccadilly as far as No. 12A, and the
houses on the west side above GloccEter-house were
removed as far as Holdernesse garden, and a small portion
of the garden opposite to the south corner of Seamore-place
were thrown jute the road, there would be a safe and noble
continuous thoroughfare at the service of the public, in
which, if no shops were allowed to be established opposite
to Gloucester-house, there would be little, if any, check to
traffic.

THAMES.

DANGEROUS LARK IN TIER Chater
Barrett, boot and shoemaker, of No. 80, High-street, White-
chapel, and No. 25, Globe-road Stepney, appeared on bail
before Mr Paget, to answer a charge of attempting to steal
a Aiiver watch from the person of Mr Samuel Iligham, a
clerk, of No. 1, Edward-street, St. Peter's-road, Stepney,
at the Hayfield publichouse, in the Mile-end-road.
Mr Charles Young, solicitor, cross-examined the pro-
secutor, who said that when he was standing before the bar
of the Hayfield, and hie watch was taken out of his pocket
by the prisoner, 12 other persons were there. The prisoner
did not pull out his own gold watch. He did say to the
prisoner, "Your watch is only an imitation.". He told the
prisoner he could lock him up if he liked for attempting to
steal a watch or something to that effect. He should not
have given the prisoner in charge at all if he had made an
apology.

Police Serjeant Briden, No. 4 K, said, he had made in-
quiries about the prisoner, and found that he was a very
respectable tradesman, but one that often went out for a
lark and was fond of a spree. With respect to the dupli-
cates of the gold watches found on the prisoner, he had
ascertained that one was out of date, so far back as January,
1862, and that the prisoner bought the ticket of the other
and that it was honestly obtained.
Mr Charles Young said ho had half the tradesmen in
Whitechapel to speak to the high character and integrity of
the prisoner, who merely took the prosecutor's watch out
of his pocket in joke. The case had been described
as a " dangerous lark in the Hayfield." It was a
dangerous lark, for the reputation of a respectable man had
been sullied by this vindictive prosecution. The watch
was never detached from prosecutor's chain. There was
never any intention: to steal it, and there was no occa-
sion for this proceeding.
Mr Paget would not trouble Mr Young to call his wit-
nesses. The whole question was that of intention. The
case was one of grave suspicion at first, but the matter had
been cleared up. He did not believe the intention of the
prisoner was to steal the watch, and Mr Higham said he
should have been satisfied with an apology, and stood upon
his dignity. He discharged the prisoner, and was satisfied
this would be a caution to him as long as he lived.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Tux HAYMARKET NIGHT HOUSES AND THE PUBLIC-
HOUSES CLOSING ACT,-Mr. Knox perceiving that there
were but few charges this morning from the Vine-street
police-station. remarked to Inspector Wilton, of the C di
vision, that he supposed the coming into operation of the
amended act regulating refreshment houses had something
to do with it.
Inspector Wilson said he believed it had. There was
not one drunken charge from Vine-street.
The coming into operation of the amended act in refe-
rence to publichouses and refreshment houses has already
had its effect on the Haymarket, and will probably before
long completely put an end to the business of night-house
keeping, the act so much affecting some of them as to render
it an utter impossibility for the owners to continue the busi-
ness. The scone about one o'clock, the hour at which the
houses are compelled to close by the not, now becomes one
of a most exciting nature, the Haymarket, at the general
turn out, being densely crowded, and but for the inter-
ference of the police in removing the crowds which col-
lect the place would be impassable. A keeper of one of
the houses, probably thinking that many of the patrons
of the " market"—a very different class of persons to those
who, in former days, visited the place—might return as soon
as the houses were re-opened at 4 o'cluck, that being the
time at which they are allowed to re-open by the Act,
threw open his doors, but with a sorry result, his customers
being so few and far between as to make it a non-paying
business to continue the practice. Prior to the introduction
of the amended Act, the work of the "night house" busi-
ness, through the interference of the police, was broken.
The number of charges at this court having been wonder-
fully diminished. and the Public-house Closing Act, 1864,
as the amended one is briefly called, doubtless, will act as a
finishing stroke.
