LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1838.

NTI-SLAVERY MEETING at the GUILD-
HALL, BATH, APRIL 24, 1838.
W. T. BL AIR, Esq., in the Chair.
Moved by the Rev. T. SPENCER, and seconded by the Rev.
W. BEVAN,—
'
1. That this Meeting, disclaiming all factious opposition to her
Majesty's Government, cannot refrain from expressing its con-
viction that the defeat of Sir George Strickland's recent Motion
in the House of Commons for the Emancipation of the Priedial
Negro Apprentices on the Ist of August next, was principally
occasioned by the opposition- of her Majesty's Ministers to that
measure of sound policy and justice, and that their conduct in
thus prolonging a system the alleged and irremediable evils of
which are evinced by their own Bill for the amendment of the
Apprenticeship Act of 1833, es well as by other official documents,
has occasioned the deepest disappointment and regret to a large
proportion of their friends and supporters, and cannot be too ex-
plicitly or too loudly condemned.
Moved by G. THOMPSON, and seconded by Rev. P. CATER,-
2. That the Petitions to Parliament in support of the object of
Sir George Strickland's Motion were, in the opinion of this Meet-
ing, an unequivocal expression of the sentiments of the majority of
nearly every constituency throughout the kingdom, and that many
of the Members of the House of Commons who voted against that
Motion acted in open violation of their professions and principles,
as well as in defiance of the earnest wishes of a large and influ- '
ential proportion of their constituents.
Moved by Admiral GORDON, and seconded by ROBERT PERFECT--
3. That with these views of the position of this momentous
struggle, this Meeting cordially approves the renewed agitation of
the question both in and out of Parliament, and pledges itself to
redoubled and untiring exertions to obtain by constitutional means
the earliest possible termination of the apprenticeship, and of every
form and vestige of slavery, throughout her Majesty's deminions,
and adopts the following as its Petition to the Legislature :
The following is a copy of the Petition agreed to at the Meet-
ing :
To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled.
The Humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the City of Bath.
SHEKETH,
That your Petitioners have observed with the deepest regret and
disappointment the denial, by the Honourable the House of Com-
mons, of the prayer of the Petitioners from all parts of the kingdom,
for the full and unconditional emancipation of the Prasdial Negro
Apprentices in her Majesty's Colonies on the Ist of August next.
That your Petitioners regard all that has transpired in connexion
with the discussion of this painfully exciting question, both in Par-
liament and elsewhere, as an ample confirmation of the justice and
sound policy of the boon for which they asked, and as an impera-
tive inducement not to desist from the employment ef all constitu-
tional means to obtain it at the earliest possible period.
That should inconvenience to her Majesty's Government, •r
temporary injury to the Colonies, arise from the renewed agitation
of the question, your Petitioners will regard those evils as justly
chargeable, not to themselves in asking, but to those who have in-
curred the responsibility of withholding a measure demanded alike
by the most sacred principles of justice, humanity, and religion, and
by the most obvious interests of the Colonies, and of all classes of
her Majesty's subjects.
Your Petitioners, therefore, most earnestly implore your Right
Honourable House to adopt such measures without delay as shall in-
sure immediate and unconditional freedom to all the Negro Appren-
tices in her Majesty's dominions. •
And your Petitioners will every pray, &c. &c.
Moved by the Rev. T. MARTIN' and seconded by BASIL MAR-
RIOTT, Esq.—
4. That the Petitions be signed by the Chairman on behalf of
this Meeting, and that to the House of Lords be entrusted for
presentation to Lord Brougham, and that to the House of Com-
mons to Joseph Pease, Esq., and that Gore Langton, Esq., and
the Members for this City, be requested to support its prayer in
their places in Parliament.

BANKERS—The London Joint Stock Bank.
This Company presents to small or large Capitalists, aspects of
an extraordinary character : the immense consumption of the two
articles and the certainty of their disposal at liberal profits render
this undertaking unusually safe and lucrative, as upon the most mo-
derate calculation, it offers a clear dividend of twenty per cent. per
annum, on the paid up capital, while such capital is augmenting,
and the Shares consequently becoming increasingly valuable.
To Wine Merchants, Victuallers, Oilmen, and Picklers, this
Company presents a most eligible investment, as by becoming
Shareholders, they unite the advantages of manufacturer and dealer,
and secure to themselves a certain and extensive trade.
The Directors hope that the Trade and the Public generally,
will immediately avail themselves •f Shares in this lucrative
undertaking, especially as they will provide that no Shareholder
shall incur liability beyond the amount of his subscribed capital.
No further call will be made without a month's previous notice,
and then not exceed one pound per share.
Applications for Shares to be made on Sr before the 211 of May
next, by letter only (post paid), to Thomas Moseley, Esq., 13,
Bedford-street, Covent-garden, of whom Prospectuses may be
obtained.

The Fisheries of Ireland, like other vast natural ',Bourses of
that fruitful country, have hitherto remained wholly neglected.
It can scarcely be credited, were it not proved beforc; a Com-
mittee of the House of Commons, that the southern and western
coasts are the best fishing grounds in Europe, and abound with
cod (equal to that of the Dogger Bank), tarbot, haddock, ling,
hake, salmon, brill, herrings, pilchards, lobsters, &c., and sun fish,
so valuable for its oil.

The Company intend not only to purchase fish from the fishermen
but also to embrace fishing of every description, in lakes, rivers,
bays, and shores, as well as the deep sea fishery, and are about to in-
troduce an improved system of fishing, for which patents are pro-
posed to be obtained, whereby the application of steam power on
new principle will be most advantageously used, as well as to bring
the fish with expedition to the market.
Vessels will be fitted up with tanks so constructed as to preserve
the fish alive, a desideratum hitherto unknown, the excellent flavour
of salmon in particular being lost by its transmission packed in ice.
The Company will supply the London, Dublin, Liverpool, Bristol,
and other markets with live fish in the course of the ensuing June.
It is shown by the Prospectuses that a profitable return of 1401.
per cent. may be realized.

The above Company has been formed for the purpose of more
effectually working and smelting the ores from the highly valuable
and productive silver-lead mines near Lampeter, in the county of
Cardigan, on the property of Lord Carrington, which are univer-
sally known and esteemed throughout Wales for their extraordinary
richness.

These mines, though formerly inefficiently worked, have never-
theless produced large profits ; they recently have undergone ex_
tensive improvements by the present lessee, who has expended a
considerable sum in sinking a new shaft, erecting a new and power-
ful water-wheel, together with every necessary building calculated
for a work of importance. There is a never-failing stream that
will be applied to work the wheel, drain the mines, crush and stamp
the ore, and draw it to the surface, so that none of the capital of
the Company will be absorbed in steam engines and machinery, at
immense cost, usually the case in works of this description. Many
other advantages might be fairly set forth, such as contiguity to an
excellent shipping port, cheapness of provision, and consequently
labour, details more fitting for verbal explanation than public ad-
vertisement.
It is not necessary to enlarge upon the acknowledged reputation
of these mines, and their richness in silver (vide Topographical
Histories of Wales,' ); suffice it to say, that samples previously to
the present tenancy were tested in 1836 by Mr. Johnson, the cele-
brated assayist, and were found to contain 84 ounces of pure silver
to the ton of ore ; subsequently, on the 24th of February, 1838,
specimens were again sent to him, which yielded 87 ounces to the
ton.

The ores from these mines, owing to the large proportion of
silver they contain, have always a ready sale (with scarcely any
fluctuation in price), at from 271. to 3W. per ton ; whilst the pro-
duce of other mines containing none of that precious metal sells for
only 11/. to 121. a ton, and even at that price they are carried on
at a profit. The extraordinary advantages that this investment
presents must be obvious, the more especially as the Llativair
Mines have been already worked, the quality of the ores proved
and reduced to a certainty, thereby divesting the present undertak-
ing from any apprehension of the risk usually attendant on mining
speculations.

A careful survey and elaborate report have been made by Mr.
W. W. Bailey, the well-known mining engineer, by which it will
be seen that 8,000/. per annum is the calculation of the net profits
from the old veins alone, while there is every prospect of propor-
tionate returns from the veins lately opened in different parts of the
estate.

NATIONAL COGNAC BRANDY DIS-
TILLERY COMPANY.

To be Incorporated by Act of Parliament.
Gpital 250,000/. in 10,000 Shares of 251. each—Deposit 51.
The object of this Company is to manufacture BRANDY equal
to Cognac, by a newly invented and ingenious apparatus, the secret
of the working and process of which has been purchased by, and is
exclusively secured to the Directors of this Company.
The Brandy produced by the above means is undistinguishable
from Cognac brandy, and ❑ot only does it possess its flavour but
also the same beneficial qualities, for which Foreign Brandy is so
invariably recommended by the Faculty.
The Directors are so confident of the success of this great un-
dertaking, and the benefit that will arise to the public by the sale
of this very superior Brandy, that they fully anticipate being able
to compete with their Continental neighbours--so as to render the
importation of Foreign Brandy unnecessary.
The Directors beg to announce to the Public, that from the
confidence placed in them by the Shareholders in the promptitude
with which the Deposits have been paid, they are enabled to com-
mence business, and to receive orders to any extent.
This Brandy will be supplied at 16s. per Gallon, in quanti-
ties of not less Two Gallons.

A liberal discount allowed to the Trade.

SECURED BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS

PATENT.
Capital, 200,000/., in 10,000 Shares of 20/.
Deposit, 21. per Share.
The objeet of this Company is the manufacture and sale of a
metallic preparation, hitherto unknown in this country, to pre-
serve iron and copper from rust and oxidation, the machinery and
process of which are secured by patent.
In England where these metals arc so extensively used, and their
preservation from rust is of such manifest importance, the esta-
blishment of this Company cannot fail to be of the greatest in-
terest ; and an enumeration of a few of the various objects capable
of being preserved by this invention will at once shew the extensive
field opened for its operation.
Iron rails, pins, screws, and other articles used in railways. The
bright parts of the machinery connected with locomotive engines
which are necessarily exposed to 'the weather. The filed and
bright parts, as well as the steam-boilers, of marine engines. Water
tanks for vessels of war and other ships. Chain cables, ship's bolts,
knees, and all other iron works used in ship-building ; likewise
copper-sh
eathing ; all sorts of iron fixed or used in damp or wet
situations, as mince, docks, wharfs, &c. Sre. Nails, screws, and all
iron-work used in oat-buildings. All copper and bra'ss vessels used
for culinary purposes.
Desirous of making this patent as perfect as possible, its pro-
moters have delayed bringing it forward until the present moment,
in order to test its value by the experiments and calculations of
scientific and practical men ; and it is only after the fullest and
most satisfactory investigation that it is now offered to the public,
as an undertaking which cannot fail to yield large profits.
A prospectus, with ample details, will be immediately issued.
Applications for shares may be addressed, until the 2d of May, to
the Provisional Committee, at the Offices, 83, Cornhill, where
-specimens of the invention may be seen. ,

Extract from Meyrick's History of Cardiganshire, under the
head Llanvair Clydogau :—" The ore from these mines sold for
271. per ton ; I2i cwt. of lead is procured from one ton of ore, and
from 60 to 80 ounces of silver from the same. It is said to be the
richest mine in the county."

Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally imper-

CA UTION.—CUR TIS and DOLLAND'S
OBSERVATIONS AGAINST the USE of AMBER
SPECTACLES, (Second Edition) on the Preservation of Sight,
pages 55 and 56.—" Amber is a soft substance, and it is impossible
to form it into a perfect lens, and a lens . improperly constructed
would prove most injurious to vision. Amber from the soft state
of the material in moderate heat becomes sticky, and by cleaning
the lens in a short time the polish comes off; they also become
scratched and completely blind. Glue, as to hardness of substance
and colour, is considered much preferable ; they are much inferior
either to glass or pebbles." John Harrison Curtis, Esq., M.R.1.,
Oculist Surgeon to the Royal Dispensary, and Lecturer on the
Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology of the Eye and Ear, states—
" It will probably be expected that I should say what I think of
Amber Spectacles ; they have been recommended by several
Oculists, and my patronage has been solicited for them ; but surely
those gentlemen who have sanctioned them cannot have remem-
bered that amber is comparatively a soft substance, consequently
very liable to become scratched, and that the polish is easily worn
off; they are also much more expensive than even pebbles, and, as
it appears to me, possess no advantage corresponding with their
costs. For those reasons I entirely differ from those who have
thought them preferable to Pebbles or Glass. Mr. Dolland,
optician to his Majesty, and Fellow of the Royal Society, informs
me that he considers amber a very improper material for Specta-
cles, on account of its colour, its net being homogeneous, its lia-
bility to scratches, and its being also impossible to form it into a per •
feet lens."
