THE SUN,

LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 3, 1851.

At a special meeting of adventurers in the United
Mines, on Tuesday, Mr. Grylls and Captain John
Richards attended 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 lead to the abandonment of the entire
district.
At the Mineral Court meeting, held at Truro, on Tues-
day, the accounts were presented, showing-balance last
account, 9342 4s. 7d.; labour cost and merchants' bills
for December, 5031. 19s. 4d.; ditto January 3961. 2s. 3d.

taken place, and that as they approached the cross-
course there would be tin; back, west, in the adit,
there was a good bunch of tin; that, eastward, the lode
was 31 feet wide, kindly. There was a large cross-

statement of assets and liabilities a balance of the for-
mer of 2341. 16s. Id. Reports from the committee of
management, Mr. Arthur Dean, Captains James
Richards and William Doble were also read. The
committee, in their report, refer with pleasure
"to the great improvement which has taken place in
the state of the mine since the last general meeting,
and hope that the favourable results formerly held out
are about to be realised. The terms of the mineral lease
of Lord Devon's property have been settled; no call is
required, for the present, at least; and the nature of the
operations is such as to enable much work to be done
with a comparatively small outlay." The working cost
for the two months, including materials, had been
2211. 13s. 4d., and from commencement of operations,
1,193/. 14s. 2d. The costs for February are estimated
at about 130/. The amount realized by the sale of ores
had been 791. lls. 11d.

At the Coombe Valley Slate Company's meeting,
letters were read from Messrs. A. Malcholm (the
manager), A. S. Leecb, and N. Ennor, recommending
that the quarry ought at first to be worked with 50 men,
and then at the end of the year see what the quarry had
earned, and act accordingly. The manager stated that
the works are let ender written contracts, at such prices
as ...1 be likely to yield a profit of 40 to 50 per cent.
upon the outlay. The calls in arrear amount to 2281.;
there are no liabilities, and 221. in the bank, besides a
stock of slate ready for sale, worth about 250/. ,
At the Wheal Sophia meeting, held on the mine, the
accounts were examined and passed—Showing arrears
due, 5081. 65.,; balance last account, 56/, 9s. 10d.; calls,
128/.=.692/. 15s. 10d.—By costs and merchants' bills,
November, 1004 9s. Bd.; ditto, Dec., 51/. 17s. 5d.; ar-
rears, 284/.; due on forfeited shares, 252/. 165.,
leaving balance in favour of adventurers, 53/.
12s. 9d. It was resolved that, from the favour-
able report of the mine, and it being now filled with
water, that the working be suspended for two months,
and all arrears be immediately collected, and all who
have not paid within a month be proceeded against;
that all liabilities be immediately discharged, and In case
money was wanted, a call of ss. per share
to be made. The report of Captain Luke, above
alluded to, stated that he had cut a rich lode, and raised
a few kibbles of stuff, when the water rushed in and
overpowered the machinery. The erection of a wheel
will cost about 10s. per share.
At the New East Crowndale meeting at Plymouth, on
Thursday, the accounts were examined and passed, the
committee's report adopted, the mine divided into 2,048
shares, and Captain Carpenter appointed manager and
purser. The report of the manager stated that he had
obtained a grant of a valuable piece of land east of the
boundary, by giving up the use of a certain stream, but
which water would still be brought on their wheel, after
leaving the adit of the United Mines, Tavistock ; he con-
siders the sett one of the most eligible that has been
opened on for years.
At the Pentire Glaze meeting, a report from Captain
John Hitchens, who had been appointed to inspect the
mine was read, highly favourable to the property, which
was further confirmed by the statements since received
from Captain lineebone. A call of ss. per share was
made, auditors appointed, and the finance committee
re-elected.

At the Wheal May meeting, on Thursday, a call of ss.
per share was made. From the statement made by the
secretary, but 52 new shares were wanting, which would
be equal to 130 old certificates.

THE ARMY AND NAVY.
(From the United Service Gazette.)
THE NEW CORPS FOR AFRICA.—The arrangements
for the formation of the Gold Coast Corps are not
yet complete. The commandant is not yet appointed,
and there are not, perhaps, many eligible officers
of the rank of major who will accept the appoint-
ment unless some specific promise of early promo-
tion is offered. The strength of the regiment will con-
sist as follows, viz.—one major commandant, at 16s. per
diem, with 3s. per diem as command money; 3 captains,
lls. 7d. per diem; 6 lieutenants, at 6s. 6d. per diem; 1
assistant surgeon, at 78.6 d. per diem; 1 sergeant major,
at 4s. per diem; 3 company sergeants, at Is. 4d. per
diem each; 12 sergeants, at ls. per diem each; 12 cor-
porals, at 10d. each; and 300 privates at Bd. per diem
each. No ensigns or second lieutenants are to be ap-
pointed. Making a total charge of 6,1541. per annum.
GAMBLING AT MALTA.—We hear that a good deal of
gambling has been going on in the garrison at Malta,
'the result of which has been that one or two officers'
names have been brought in rather an unfavourable
light to the notice of his Grace the Commander-in-
Chief, and we are aware that there are one or two offi-
cers of an Ordnance Corps, also, who have not fared
much better.
QUARTERMASTER-GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT.—CoIo-
neI Freeth, who has succeeded to the office of Quarter-
master-General to the Forces, is to have an allowance
of 3/. per day; Lieutenant-Colonel Aircy, Assistant
Quartermaster-General; 11. 75.6 d. per day; Lieutenant-
Colonel Enoch, the Second Assistant, 17s. 6d. per day,
with au addition of 1051. per annum for preparing
routes, &c.; these allowances are exclusive of the
amounts they respectively derive as Officers on the
Half-pay List, and 1001. per annum enjoyed by Colonel
Freeth, as Good Service Pension.
MILITARY SCHOOLS.—The Board of Ordnance have
given orders for the construction of chapel schools at
Portobello Barracks, Dublin, Mullingar, Tcmplemore,
Birr, Fermoy, Buitevant, and Belfast.
The Army List of the pre.ent month contains the
name of Quartermaster Cruickshank, half-pay, as Fort-
Major at Edinburgh.
Captain Burniester, 59th Foot, has succeeded Cap-
tain Mylius, Ceylon Rifles, as Major of Brigade at
Hong-Kong.
Lieutenant Grant, 2d Foot, has succeeded Lieutenant
Fairtlough, 55th Foot, as Superintending Officer of the
Limerick District.
KILMAINHAX HOSPITAL.—It appears from a state-
ment made by Mr. Fox Maule, the Secretary-at War,
in the _House of Commons, on Friday evening the 21st
ult., that he had given instruction that after the 31st of
March next, no new person should be taken into that
establishment without previous communication with the
War-office. We understand that it is the intention to
remove those men Rho wish to leave Ireland to Chelsea
Hospital at a convenient period, reserving Kilmainham
Hospital for other public purposes.
Lieutenant Kains has been appointed Acting Pay-
master, and Lieutenant Mackenzte Acting Adjutant to
the depot of the 3rd Buffs. Lieutenant East is Acting
Adjutant to the depot of the 15th Foot. Ensign Nicol
is Acting Paymaster, and Lieutenant Storer Acting
Adjutant to the depot of the 68th. Lieutenant Mann
and Lieutenant Cunningham are severally Acting Pay-
master and Acting Adjutant to the depot of the 92d.
THE CANTEEN OF THE FOOT GUARDS ABOLISHED._
This house, which has been so many years used by the

Foot Guards, was closed on the 15th of February; the
stock and fixtures of the oecupier having bi!ea sold a
few days previous. An understanding exisl.ed during
the last tenancy to the effect that Government was to
have possession of the premises, if they should be re-
quired, on giving a month's notice to that effect. The
cavalry canteen, at the Horse Guards, is to be the only
one for the use of the soldiers; and the old one is to be
converted into an office for the recruiting department.

THE COAL TRADE.—The fine winter has seriously
depressed the coal, and necessarily the carrying trade; the
consumption of fuel by this metropolis alone having, it is
calculated, fallen during the last two months quite 100,000
tons a week beneath the ordinary consumption of this
season of the year. This decreased consumption, of course,
by diminishing the demand for shipping and freights, has
lesened the employment and lowered the wages of the
seamen.

EMIGRATION OF LATTI3R-DAY SAINTS.—The ship
Ellen, Phillips, master, was driven during the lalategales into
Studwell Roads, having, off Holyhead, in collision, with a
schooner, received some damage. She was bound to New
Orleans, and had on board no fewer than 480 emigrants, all
of them Mormonites, on their way to the Mormon settle-
ment in the valley of the Great Salt Lake. These voluntary
exiles are from all parts of England, fifteen families being
from Sheffield. After leaving New Orleans the emigrants
proceed up the river as far as 900 miles north of St. Louis,
after which they journey 1,000 miles to their settlement,
across an almost desert country. The tide of emigration of
Mormonites from Liverpool is very strong, nearly 500 more
being ready to take leave of their native country. lkir.
Pratt, the head of the sect, is also about to leave for the new
settlement ; and hundreds of persons are preparing to leave
the neighbourhood of Aberdare, Glamorganshire, in the MIN
of the spring.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS

WAKEFIELD, FEB. 28.—We have a good supply of barley,
but only a moderate one of other articles. Wheat is held with
more firmness to-day, but our millers not being at all eager
buyers, the business is limited at last week's prices. The
ordinary qualities of barley meet a slow sale at somewhat
lower prices ; no change in the value of the finest descriptions.
Oats and shelling sell in retail at late prices. Beans rather
lower.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, FEB. 28.--There has been
rather snore disposition shown this week to operate in our
market, and the transactions since our last, both in West India
and Mauritius, have been to a fair extent at about former
prices. Refined is still dull. In rum no sales are reported.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH I.—Supplies of wheat and lour still
come freely from foreign ports, but principally from France,
whence we have received since Tuesday about 3,000 quarters
of the former, and upwards of 7,500 sacks of flour. The market
yesterday morning was again dull, and wheat and flour were
difficult to move, but there was no change in the pi ices of
Tuesday. Indian corn supported late rates, with a fair inquiry
for shipments to Ireland. Barley, beans, and peas were un-
altered in value. No change to. day.
MANCHESTER, MARCH 1 Another week of extreme in.
activity has been experienced in the trade here, all articles
having met an exceedingly limited demand at the prices cur-
rent'on our last market day. Moderate quantities of barley
and malt coastwise, and of oats and oatmeal from Ireland, from
the chief arrivals of English and Irish produce into Liverpool
this week; while from abroad the supplies of wheat and flour,
although on a reduced scale as compared with previous imports,
are still to a fair amount, in addition to which there are 1,670
quarters of beans and 1,615 quarters of Indian corn reported.
At our market this morning few transactions occurred, and we

good attendance
at market to-day, and although the demand was net brisk, fine

beans no alteration.

GLAS/OW CATTLE MARKET, Fza. 27.—At our market to
day the numbers were—oxen, 773 ; sheep, 1,116. The supply
of cattle was much the same as last week, and prices slightly
advanced. Best ox beef 465, current 43s to 4-Is, inferior 32s
to 365, sinking the offal. As to sheep there was little altera-
tion either in supply or prices from those of last week. Best
mutton 6d, current 5d to aid, inferior 4d to 5d per lb, sinking
the offal. At the close a few of both cattle and sheep were
turned out unsold.

CORK, FEE. 28.
The supply of home grain has become very triflng, the re-
ceipts for the week being only—wheat, 97 brls, at 13s Od to
IBs 3d per brl ; Barley, 471 brls, at 9s to 12s per brl ; oats,
3,225 brls, at 8s to lOs 4d per brl. The price of wheat is
nominal. That of barley and oats, which are now beginning
to be inquired for for seed purposes, is pretty well maintained.
Owing to the causes already adverted to, no sales are being
made in wheat. We quote the value of Polish Odessa at 20s
to 20s 6d per barrel, but this price is altogether nominal. In
barley we have little doing. No change has taken place in
oats, in which it is impossible to effect sales. The trade in
dour continues very dull, and the business passing in the ar-
ticle is of the same retail character lately noticed. Indian
corn meets a very quiet, retail sale, at prices varying from 71
to 71 7s 6d per ton ; the latter being the extreme value of
prime Galatz.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES.
LIVERPOOL WooL, FEB. 27. The following wools have
been offered at auction here to-day, say-500 Buenos Ayres,
500 East India, 1,000 Oporto, Turkey, Donskoi, &c. The
attendance was scanty, bidding without spirit, and prices at id
per lb lower than December.
FoitEicN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEE. 28.—Since the
close of the public sales there has been rather more inquiry for
colonial wools. In foreign wools comparatively little doing.
Prices of most descriptions are pretty firm at recent rates.
