THE SUN.
LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1862.

The Americans have demanded back the Emily
St. Pierre, which Captain WILSON so boldly re-
captured from her wanton capturers. We should
wonder, even if law is on their side, that they could
descend to such a meanness. By the international
law of the case, however adverse to our wishes,
we should be ashamed not to abide. But we do not
imagine that any of the countrymen of NELSON ana
DUNDONALD could bring themselves to demand
back a ship which three men had retaken from the
hands of sixteen, and then brought to an English
port across the wide and stormy Atlantic. We
wonder the countrymen of PAUL JONES can do it.
Sure we are that the whole navy of France as well as
of England will hgss such an unsailor-like
—emend.
They will be ready to wish the gentlemen of tho

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 proit,;:_ble oPera-
tion, and considerable quantities of very superior eti:2ll°l
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
field existed in England (at Wigan), an one known
d two (the Lesma-
hago and Torbane) in Scotland, is now being
.worked at a
depth of only 60 yards from the surface, and is above four
feet thick. The quality of gas produced therefrom is equal
to that obtained from the well-known Torbane Hill Mineral,
or Ifoghead, which realises so high a price (about .10s. per

.
ton) in Scotland.—See Dr. Fyfe's (of
for comparative value of the Leeswood with this and other
cannels.
Contraoto already exist with gas and other companies for
upwards of 30,300 tons per annum of the Leeswood Cannel
a sale for the whole amount of the pre-
Coal, thus enuring
sent raiaings ;
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 necessaay!osink 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 free 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 fears a certain dividend
of above 10 per cent. on the entire capital.of £lOO,OOO, after
making a liberal allowance for all possible expenses and
contingencies (see " Statement of actual Raisiags, Sales,
and Expenditure for January. February, and March,
1862"), but with the proposed additional pits, by an outlay
not exceeding £lO,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 fall, 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.
