The present Company has been formed for working the Old Tre-
wether Mines, and also those which were known at the Wheal
Thomas, situate at Port Isaac, as well as the setts upon the estates
of Tresungus, Veanies, and Treore, in the paesh of Endellion, in the
county of Cornwall, with additional grants connected therewith.
Tne setts of these mines extend over a surface of about 1,000
acres, as shown in an accompanying map, and contain antimony,
copper, and silver lead in great abundance, and of a very ri:h de-
scription.
The principal antimony lode runs nearly north and south through
the entire length of the sett ; the Wheal Thomas copper lode runs
nearly east and west, and the silver lead lodes at Port Gavern, being
counter lodes, run south-east and north-west, intersecting the whole
of the other lodes at the depth of 30 fathoms.
Five lodes have been already worked upon, and two others par-
tially opened. The principal lode is the great antimony lode, which
was worked many years since, and produced antimony ore to the
amount of 72,0001., at a profit of 52,000/. ; the whole of which was
realised in the course of two years. The extent of working on
this lode is only 30 fathoms from surface, and stopped down-
wards, north 'and south of the shaft, about 50 fathoms in length.
At that period no steam-engine was on the mine, and the opera-
tions were carried on only in the summer months, by the aid of
a herse-whim. During these limited workings, six men, in the
course of six months, raised antimony ore which realised a profit
of 6,0001. Tho adventurers, after incurring considerable expenditure
in eontinning the deep edit, experienced great difficulties, in conse-
quence of failing to make arrangements with the owners of some
intervening ground, who required an exorbitant sum to pass through
their lands. Application was afterwards made to the lord of the
manor for a renewed lease upon more liberal terms, the due being
then one-seventh, but it being refused, and the whole of the works
filling with water, ow in-; to an extraordinary flood, the mine wrs
then abondoned. About four years since, four adventurers took up
the sett and expended upwards of 7001. upon the mine, but discon-
tinued working in consequence of the death of the principal party
and the continuance of the difficulties with the proprietors of the
ground above referred to. Satisfactory arrangements have, how-
ever, now been made with the various owners of these lands, and
the Company can, therefore, now complete the old workings as for-
merly proposed.
Upwards of 20,0001. have been expended upon the various works
on the Mine, which, to a great extent, will be available for the
future operations of the Company.
All the deep and shallow adits have just been opened, and are now
dry, and their entrances secured and fully completed; 700 fathoms
of edits have been driven and are now open, and eight shafts have
been sunk, two of which are 30 fathoms each in depth.
A lease has been obtained Irons the Right Hon. the Earl of For-
tescue aid Viscount Ebrington for 21 years, at 1-16th dues. A lease
has also been granted by the trustees of the adjoining estates of Tre-
sungus and Vennies for 21 yea-s, at the same amount of dues ; and
like terms have been made with the owners of the adjoining setts.
The value of the ore from the Old Trewether lodes has long been
acknowledged, and, as a proof of the same, the Trustees of the
British Museum, in the year 1825, purchased, for 1,0001., various
specimens of the silver lead, antimony, and copper ore, the produc-
tion of these mines, which can be seen in the Mineralogical depart-
ment of that institution.
This Company is divided into 10,000 shares, upon each of which
the sum of 11. is to be paid upon allotment; but only 3,500 shares,
in addition to those constituting the purchase money, will, be issued
at present, as it is believed that that amount will be more than
ample to complete the present work 'rigs and secure a remunerative
return. It has been satisfactorily proved by acme of tie men who
were formerly employed, that, at the pet:od of the water breaking
into the mine, about 35 tons of antimony ore were ready to be brought
to surface, but the workmen were compelled hastily to abandon it,
as well as all their tools, which will be found and rendered available
when the shaft has been cleared, which can be effected within a fort-
night after the 20-hor..e power portable steam-engine has been set to
work. This ore will produce 75 per cent. of the regalia of antimony,
which, at tae present market price of the metal, will realize about
1,0001. The remaining 2,000 shares w:11 form a reserve fund for
working the additienal setts which have been obtained, and will be
issued at a premium of 21. upon each share, the full amount of which
will be carried to the credit of the Company.
Applications for the unsllotted shares, accompanied by satisfac-
tory references, may be made, on or before the 29th inst., in the
usual form, to the Committee of Management, at the offices of
the Company, 1, Cushion-court, Old Broad-street, London.

Michell ; the Amphion, 34, Captain Key (acting) ; the
Sidon 22, Captain Goldsmith; the Leopard, 12, Captain
G. Gifford ; the Valorous, 16, Captain Buckle ; and the
Vulture, 6, Captain Glass, weighed from Spithead this
morning for a six weeks' cruise. All left the anchorage
under sail, but finding no wind, the Prince Regent was
taken in tow off the Nab by the Sidon, the Queen by
the Valorous, and the Amphion (screw) and Vulture
(paddle) by the Leopard. The Edinburgh, 58, screw
block-ship, Captain Hewlett, steamed away from the
anchorage in the afternoon on a three weeks' cruise. It
was said the First Lord of the Admiralty was about to
take a cruise in her, but we cannot hear that he is
aboard. As soon as Rear-Admiral Corry was out of
sight Commodore Martin, C. 8., of the Duke of Welling-
ton, 131, hoisted his blue broad pendant at the main of
that ship. It was not hoisted on Saturday ;we mistook
other firing for the complimentary salute incidental to
hoisting a flag.

THE LATE LORD SALTOITN.—The Chisholm
to the Times says :—" That it was Lieutenant-Genera'
Sir James Macdonell who commanded the Guards al
Hougoumont, and with them made good the defence of
that important post, the very key of the position at
Waterloo. Lord Saltoun was next in seniority to Sir
James Macdonell, and fought gallantly by his side. The
late Duke never forgot the circumstances of this most
noble defence, nor the name of the officer who conducted
it. If any excuse is necessary for me, as a relation of
Sir James Macdonell, for correcting the error into
which you have fallen, it may be found in the fact that
the late Lord Saltoun, when he was on one occasion
spoken of as the defender of Hougoumont, replied, that
the only credit he deserved on the occasion was for obey-
ing the orders which he received from the commanding
officer, Sir James Macdonell. He was too good and too
chivalrous a soldier to take praise which belonged to
others, and, in truth, he earned enough honour for him-
self to satisfy any man.
THE HARVEST IN IRELAND.—The corn markets all
through the country afford the most gratifying evidence
of the progress already made in the harvest, and of the
promptitude with whicL the farmers are availing them-
selves of the present high prices for agricultural produce.
The largeness of the supplies of grain at this early period
of the season is a remarkable circumstance, and it is
attributed to the more thrifty habits of the tenantry,
many of whom are persons of great intelligence and
comparative wealth. The accounts received report most

CHRISTCHURCH AND LAMBETH REGATTA.—Yesterday
afternoon the sixth annual rowing-match for a purse of
sovereigns, and other prizes, was contested for by 12
free watermen, residing in the parishes of Christchurch
and Lambeth. It was a double scullers' match, in three
1 heats, the two first being in flood, and the final heat in
ebb tide. The result was as follows : Red the winner,
blue second, and green third. Great interest was excited
upon the result, and the river presented an animated
scene, from the number of boats that accompanied the
match,

people to come to their rescue. It is the miserable
consolation of the futile and ineffectual to attribute
their misfortunes to the injustice of those who have
helped themselves, and whom thereby God has helped.
But we are somewhat humiliated to think that such a
cuckoo note should find a parrot echo reverberated from
the manly and self-asserting race who inhabit the
northern side of the Tweed. We doubt whether we
would hear of the querulous expostulations even from
our Irish friends, were they well off and prosperous.
What should ever have led our fellow-subjects of Scot-
land, warm and well to do, to forget the characteristic,
we might call it national maxim, "to let well alone,"
can only be explained by reference to that lurking spirit
of jobbery which, under the dynasty
of the Dundases,
disgraced a portion of the middle and higher classes of
Scotland, who waited upon Providence with such ortho-
dox trust and pious confidence. We think we are quite
capable of discussing this question in a perfectly im-
partial spirit. We are more inclined to remonstrate
than to sneer our way through it. A. Scotchman has a
"reasonable soul"—some honourable pride—a sense of
shame—a sturdy manfulness. We speak, therefore, as
unto wise men, and entreat them to judge what we say.
A manifesto has been issued from Edinburgh, signed by
provosts and baillies, advocates, physicians,
and divines
—a lord or two, and some baronets—having our title for
its text. We think it supplies its own best refutation.
It tells us that Scotland consists of 2,800,000 inhabi-
tants, and contributes 6,000,000/. to the revenue ; while
Ireland, with a population of 6,500,000, musters not
quite 2,000,0001., whereof the whole is !pent in the
country, and more to boot. Why, this is like the man
who should complain that he:pays_ 1,0001. a year
income tax,. while his- neighbour is exempt, because his
income is under 150'. There is something singularly il-
logical, and, therefore, not at all Scotch, in this blatant
document. It first claims for Scotland justice to its nation-
ality, its independence as a separate kingdom—its rights
under the Act of Union—and then it blinks all these items
to prefer other demands on abstractgrounds of vulgar arith-
metic, which are directly in the teeth of its union and its
nationality. Her Act of Union gave to Scotland only
45 representatives in the Imperial Parliament--while
that Parliament itself raised the number to 53. Well.
The " Statement of Grievances" very composedly aban-
dons the plea of the Union and of rights as an indepen-
dent kingdom, and argues, by Rule of Three, that, if
England have 500 Members, Scotland should have 77.
Yorkshire, with a larger population, and much greater
wealth, than Scotland, has only half her number of
Members. "Oh ! but then," rejoins the Caledonian
grumblers, "Yorkshire is but a province, and Scotland
is a separate kingdom with independent rights." Again.
Lancashire is about as populous as Scotland—a good
deal richer—and returns about thirteen millions of reve-
nue to the Exchequer. That duchy ought to have, ac-
cording to the " Justice to Scotland " theory, more
than twice the amount of public money spent within its
borders to that disbursed in the " north countrie." But
it is quite the other way. For the sole and exclusive use
of Scotland a separate hierarchy, a numerous and varied
judicial establishment, commissioners of northern lights,
national institutions, six colleges, and we know not
what besides, are maintained, mostly at the expense of
the Imperial Exchequer. Lancashire has none of these
things provided for her. The answer is ready. Lanca-
shire is but a province, while Scotland is a kingdom.
But if that be the ground of distinction between the ri-
val competitors for a grievance, what becomes of that
other, according to Cocker, which claims " justice"
on the score that Scotland returns so much revenue,
while she retains so little for her expenditure ; and
Ireland, with treble her population, pays less than
listif her amount of taxes, and expends upon herself
all, and more than all, she contributes ? The tonnage
entering the port of Liverpool, and the Customs
levied there, amount to several times as much as those
in all Scotland. Yet Liverpool has no Board of Cus-
toms, and is relegated to London in all cases of diffi-
culty connected with the question of foreign revenue.
Under the cry, however, of " Justice to Scotland,"
the modern Covenanters who have bound themselves
together to pursue this crotchet to the utmost, demand
the restoration of a regular Board of Customs to Leith, be-
cause it was there before, and because Scotland is an inde-
pendentkingdom ; but theydrop this plea altogether in a
few sentences, and found the claim on the greater amount
of revenue paid and of commercial business transacted
in Scotland than in Ireland. If national establishments
should be centred anywhere in the former it should be
in Glasgow, the true heart and centre of this country.
But this will not suit the "book" of these remonstrants,
who claim their retention in Edinburgh as the capital
city, in law, although the progress of society, and the
growth of trade and commerce, have.left that place im-
measurably behind her western rival of the Clyde. If
the land of cakes is to have Boards of Customs, Ex-
cise, and Stamps, long after the use of such establish-
ments is past, why not require a sovereign of her own,
demand a resident court, and insist upon the revival of
a separate nobility ? But if such medimval claims are
to be listened to where is the grumbling to stop ? Why
not revive the kingdoms of the Heptarchy ? Perhaps
the two kings of Brentford, who harmoniously smelled
at the same nosegay. If Scotland is to quote nationality,
Acts of Union, independence, and solemn compacts at
every turn, in support of a claim to exclusive privileges,
and to rights which have long survived their meaning
or purpose, every separate county, borough, duchy,
principality, or province may, with equal force of law
and logic, prefer each its peculiar charter of prescrip-
tion. Northumberland and Westmoreland should be
restored to Scotland ; heritable jurisdictions should be
revived ; prelacy should rear its head in Aberdeenshire ;
and popery in the Celtic counties
; the Highlander
should demand the restoration of all the laws and cus-
toms which were crushed by the strong hand of the
Lowlanders ; in a word, the Eglinton tournament should
be revived as a reality, and antiquaries should be di-
rected by royal commission to examine the origin of the
title "kingdom of Fife," in the view of assigning to
that county some sovereign all to herself, to hold state
in Dunfermline, and restore its abbey to Its pristine in-
tegrity. Why should Scotland alone set forth upon the
Quixote enterprise of a resurrection of the dead and rot-
ten carcase of archmological prescription ? Exhume the
claims of Cornwall to its Court of Stanneries and other an-
cient perquisites and privileges ; revive the boroughsruth-
lessly sacrificed on the altar of reform to the ogre schedule
A ; rebuild whatever has crumbled to ruins that once was a
house, a custom or a right—where would the confusion end
or common sense begin ? The Isle of Man has been
" annexed" to England without any consent of its three
legs, or the Manxmen. Guernsey, Jersey, Alderney,
and Sark has each its little bill of antiquities. Our
foreign dependencies, while we are settling these ques-
tions of grievance, have equal rights of this purely his-
tor:cal kind—and we are afraid to contemplate the very
whisper of such a subject in its application to Ireland
and Brian Borou. When Scotland had all the paraphe-
nalia of which it is now claimed she should be again put
in possession, she had to pay for them all separately
out of her own resources. If she is prepared to do that
now, she may doubtless accomplish their restoration.
At present she pays no more than her fair share of im-
perial taxation ; and can qualify no better title on that
score, to the perquisites of a useless expenditure, than
Manchester or Bristol. There is no Board of Customs,
Excise, or Stamps in Ireland, any more than in Scot-
land. Is the country at large to be taxed to supply the
means of a totally useless expenditure for offices that
are not merely unnecessary, but have proved detrimen-
tal to the public service and instrilments of local job-
bery and corruption, only to satisfy% rival clamours for
national recognition ? It is notphaig to the credit of
either country, that they have se to and conflicting
institutions, jurisdictions, churches 'laws. It is the
atien-
deavour of enlightened men to milate these—both
borrowing from the other what is cod in each. It is
an evidence of nothing but of execoble stupidity, that
whenever a British subject crosses the border, he places
himself under the operation of a set if laws and judges
of which and whom he knows no re Ye than of the me-
dicine men of Safraria, or the punlits of Hindostan.
What can be more incongruous that the fact, that the
Queen is a Dissenter at Balmoral, aheretic at Dublin,
and the head of the Church at Osborne or Windsor ?
We can quite understand the meastre, the exetent of
the interest which Edinburgh has in blowing this con-
troversy into a flame of national enthisiasm. Her shop-
keepers, house-proprietors, lawyers, doctors, parsons,
and professors would have very prety pickings out of
it. The Edinburgh Post-office woulc witness a return
of its time-honoured system of pecilation, by being
virtually irresponsible to a London Board. The
"good easy men" who retired political service
in the livery of the Hopes and. ndases, into the Stamps, Customs Com-
snuggeries of Excise, and po, d
missionerships, and looked upon, collection of the
revenue much more as it aff the convenience
of the Scotch merchants than interests of the
Imperial Exchequer, would spend tie public money at
their ease in Leith and Edinburgh, and do the dirty
work of faction, and the jobs of corruption, as they did
before. But we cannot, for the life if us, see that Aber-
deeni or Dundee, or Glasgow or Pe 1, can derive any
substantial advantage from being ed to enable sine-
curists to dose life away in " Auld eekie ; " to pay
Sir David Lindsay of tit( Mount,
Lord Lyon King-at-Ann;,to define the exact place of the lion sf Scotland among
the emblems of the United Kingthrn ; or to determine
the quarterings of—
Dread Dalhousie, the great iod of war,
Lieutenant-General to the Earl of Mar.
If the gentlemen grievance-mongersand those patriotic
antiquaries who grumble through tbir inventory of na-
tional wrongs will prove to us that it will be for the
good of the country as a whole that any of their requi-
sitions should be grarted, they will make out an inex-
pungable case on much stronger bales than purely ter-
ritorial of archaeological grounds. Jut if all they have
to say in favour of their views is, that Parliament should
spend, for the mere sake of spending, public money upon
the revival of corrupting sinecures and unprofitable
offices, merely to add the income 6f. public idlers to the
general expenditure of Bdinbur4; Tie think there are
