AT a MEETING of the UNITED COMMIT-
TEE appointed to consider the Grievances under which
DISSENTERS now labour, with a view to their redress, held at
Dr. Williams's Library, Redcross.street, London, on the 19th of
May, 1836;
__

H. WEYMOUTH, Fsq., in the Chair;
It was Resolved—That this Committee having reason to believe
that anv measure which may be laid before Parliament during the
present Session relative to Church Rates, will have for its object
the perpetuating of that unjust impost under a new form, by which
not only England, but Scotland and Ireland also, will be involved
in the payment, as contributing in common to the general revenue
of the empire, deem it their duty to communicate their conviction
on this subject to the Friends of, Religious Liberty throughout the
United Kingdom, that they may be prepared to give a sang and
united expression to their sentiments, as soon as the measure in
question shall have been announced.

That they deem it their duty, at the same time, to publish the
following Resolution, passed by the Committee on the 6th of Oc-
tober, 1834, and declare that every thing which has since tran-
spired on the subject, has tended to strengthen the conviction then
expressed :—_

That so far as the question of the payment of Church Rates is
concerned, this Committee are decidedly of opinion that no mea-
sure can be satisfactory which will not relieve Dissenters from all
compulsory contributions, direct or indirect, for the maintenance of
the edifices used by, and of the worship of the Established Church,
and that they are not able to devise any means of effecting this ob-
ject but by the total abolition of Church Rates."

SOLICITORS.
Messrs. Hall, Thompson, and Sewell, Salter's-hall.
The reputation of the Blaenavon Iron, and the well-known
success of these Works, during a period of forty years, sustain
for this undertaking the character of a legitimate and lucrative
investment.

The property, containing about 12,000 acres leasehold, and 450
acres freehold, comprises one of the largest and most productive
Mineral Estates in South Wales. There are five furnaces, with all
their subordinate works and buildings, 470 workmen's houses, and
a forge and mill.

Of the Leasehold Estate about one-fourth is underlet to two
neighbouring Iron Works, on lease, at a rental which, with the
rents received for houses and the surface lands of the remaining
portion, leaves the Blaenavon Propel ty, purchased on behalf of the
Company, free of rent and royalty.
The Furnaces are producing after the rate of 18,000 tons of pig
iron per annum, and the Forge " turns out" 100 tons per week of
the best bar and cable iron. There is also a profitable coal and
lime trade, unconnected with the market for iron.
An investigation of the books, showing the profits of the concern
during a period of extreme depression and difficulty, and a calcula-
tion based upon the prices ,of iron for fifteen years (since 1821),
justify a confident expectation of annual dividends of 10 per cent.,
without reference in such calculation to the continuance of the pre-
sent large profits. Should, however, the prosperity of the iron
trade continue, a much larger dividend will be realised.
Ten pounds per share will be required at the time of appropria-
tion, and the remainder according to the decision of the Directors ;
but it is not intended that above 401. per share shall be called for.
The Shareholders will be entitled to the profits from Midsummer
next, and a dividend declared at Christmas, 1836.
Applications for shares (post paid) may be made in writing to
James Ashwell, Esq., at the temporary office of the Company,
No. 4, Adam's-court, Old Broad-street, where prospectuses, with
additional information, may be obtained.

South Towan and Rose Ann Mines are situated in the parish of
St. Agnes, and Wheal Lydia in the parish of Illogan, in the county
of Cornwall; in a rich mining district, and adjoining, or surrounded
by, the productive mines of Great Wheal Towan, United Hills,
Wheal Ellen, Wheal Charles, and Wheal Sparrow.
The united mines of South Towan, Rose Ann, and Wheal Lydia,
together nearly a mile in length, contain four large copper and tin
lodes, which are comprised in a parallel between the Mines of
Great Wheal Towan and the United Hills; the former of which
profited nearly 200,000/., and the latter, now in course of working,
yields a profit to the proprietors of 8001. per month.
As a circumstance highly favourable to the prospects of these.
Mines, it may be stated that the principal part of the ore raised
from the adjoining Mines was found between two cross courses, dis,
twit from each other about 200 fathoms, intersecting the lodes
nearly at right angles, and including the same length on all the
lodes of the South Towan Consols. Of these only one has been
explored below the depth of the adit, where it has yielded already
considerable quantities of copper and tin. Between these cross
courses in the adjacent mine, Great,Towan, the profits alluded to •
were realized, and in precisely the same situation the United Hills
are now profiting, 800/. per month.
The engine'shaft is sunk to the depth of sixty-four fathoms below
the edit ; and a cross cut is proceeding to intersect the lode at that
level ; the upper levels have been, and are still, productive, the ore
continuing in depth, and the mine yielding • regular monthly re-
turns. All the buildings requisite for the mine are completed and
in good condition. An Engine-house with Steam-engine of 40-
inch cylinder, completed and in full work, with Pumps, Pit-work,
&c., fixed in the engine-shaft; all in excellent order and in full
operation. A powerful water wheel for pumping, and other
hydraulic machinery for stamping or reducing ores, with floors,
&c., &c., complete—Smith's and Carpenter's Shops, Sheds, Bar-
racks for Miners, Counting-house, Tools, Implements, Whims,
Ropes, Capstan, Sheers, and materials of every description.
The Directors confidently anticipate no further call beyond the
present deposit will be required, and that the proceeds of the
Mines will enable them to declare a Dividend, within then en-
suing year.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Secretary, 156, Re-
gent-street; or to Mr. Henry Tribe, 19, Austin Friars, London ;
