THE DIURDE.R IN LIMEBKR.

The correspondent of Saunders' News, writing
from Limerick, Wednesday, May 21, says :—" In-
telligence was this day received here from Lime-
rick Junction, that last evening the police had
almost come upon the place of concealment of
Walsh, the second assassin concerned in the murder
of Mr. Francis Fitzgerald, but the fellow, though
in full view, made off, and gave them a run of
three miles through the country, eventually suc-
ceeding in getting into a wood, whereby he escaped
arrest. The constabulary of the surrounding
, stations are all on his trail, so that the villain's
capture is quite certain." We gathr:eherlegthroeesvaanirdyneensfoceled.

This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing
and thoroughly working and developing the well-known
Leeswood Collieries, near Mold, Flintshire, where an extra-
ordinary discovery of Cannel Coal has lately been made.
The owners thereof have agreed to dispose of their entire
interest in the property, including plant, machinery, &c.,
for £70,000, of which they will take £40,000 in paid-up
shares (such shares to receive dividends only pro rata on
the amount called up on the other shares), and the remainder
by periodical instalments.
The properties as proposed to be worked by the Com-
pany comprise upwards of 250 acres, and are held for long
terms of years at very low royalties.
The Collieries are, at the present time, in profitable opera-
tion, and considerable quantities of very superior Cannel
Coal (upwards of 2,500 tons per month) are being raised
and sold at prices which leave a large profit.
The seam of Cannel Coal, a peculiar and rare formation,
of which, before the discovery at Leeswood, only onell
jrnsomwn
field existed in England (at Wigan), and two (tliFeka at a
a_
hago and Torbane) in Scotland, is now being
depth of only 50 yards from the surface, and i7a°nov. e four
feet thick. The quality of gas produced therefrom is equal
to that obtained from the well-known Torbane Hill Mineral,
or Boghead, which realises so high a price (about 40s. per
ton) in Scotland.—See Dr. Fyfe's (of Aberdeen) Report
for comparative value of the Leeswood with this and other I
cannels.
Contracts already exist with gas and other companies for
upwards of 30,300 tons per annum of the Leeswood Cannel
Coal, thus ensuring a sale for the whole amount of the pre-
sent raisings ; and additional contracts, to at least double
this extent, can be made directly the increased yield of the
collieries will afford the requisite supply. To obtain this
supply it will be necossaay to sink another pair of large pits
to the Cannel seam, where it is about 150 yards deep, which
pits will be also available for working three other seams of
valuable gas and household coals, which have been already
proved to exist by boring and sinking.
The Collieries are remarkably tree from water, and entirely
so from all explosive gases.
A branch line of Railway, the property of the owners,
and which will be included in the purchase-money, and
become the property of the Company, connects the Collie-
ries with the London and North-Western and Great Wes-
tern systems • and also with Birkenhead and Saltney, where
the coal of these Collieries is well known and appreciated
for shipping purposes, and where very large quantities can
be sold for exportation.
The present get and sales of Cannel Coal from the proved
area alone (without taking into account the other proved
seams) will yield for upwards of 20 years a certain dividend
of above 10 per cent. on the entire capital of £IOO,OOO, after
making a liberal allowance for all possible expenses and
contingencies (see " Statement of actual Raisings, Sales,
and Expenditure for January, February, and March,
1862"), but with the proposed additional pits, by an outlay
not exceeding £IO,OOO, the amount raised will be more than
doubled, and the dividends increased in proportion.
The whole of the above statements having been thoroughly
tested and verified, the Directors very confidently recom-
mend this undertaking, not as a speculation, but as a safe,
profitable, and permanent investment: with an already as-
sured dividend of at least 10 per cent. from the commence-
ment of the Company's operation, and a confident anticipa-
tion of more than 20 per cent. after the first twelvemonths,
by which time the new pits can be completed.—(See Re-
ports of Mr. MacCulloch, Mr. MacDougal Smith, and Mr.
R. C. Webster, of Ruabon).
Prospectuses in full, reports, statements of actual work-
ings, profits, &c., and forms of application for shares, can
be obtained at the Solicitors', Brokers', and at the offices of
the Company, from whence they will also be forwarded free
by post if required.
