At a special meeting of adventurers in the United
Mines, on Tuesday, Mr. Grylls and Capta'n John
Richards attendei as a deputation from Cornwall.
The mines, as we have already stated, are now nearly
thirty fathoms under water; and it was resolved to en-
deavour to get in fork with all possible speed. The
Lords have agreed to lend a helping hand, by setting to
work the Wheal Clifford engine; and the operations will
at least be continued until the 10th of May next. We
hope their endeavours may meet with deserved success;
for, should the cessation of operations take place, nearly
6,000 persons must be thrown out of employ, and it
would probably load to the abandonment of the entire
district.
