ously employed at various points, the ore being near t' he sur-
face, andthe great vein very long in proportion to its. width.
Thera are also six shafts, already sunk in a parallel vein,
which are from 60 to 100 feet deep.. AI•C 610 for :3 of ore
arc at present lying on the surface, ready for immediate trans-
mission to England.
" Thinking that the Company would desire to k now the
value of a better class of ore than that alreadysent, I a ,Tanged
for the immediate shipment of 54 tons of this ore, 7 ihieh is
now on its way to this country.
"As I have already stated, a railroad is in course of con-
struction, which passes within 'a quarter of a mile of tie
estate, going direct to Fredericsburg. This railroad ; will be
completed in a year. When it is opened the cost o i trans-
mitting the ore will be about 2s. or 2s. 6d. per ton. For the
present it must be sent by the plank road at a larger c norm.
" Hitherto the ore of the Company has been sent b coast-
ing vessels to New York from Fredericsburg, and fr Om New
York to England.
" The result of my inquiries was to satisfy rae the ot, at a
future time, it might be an economy to the company ,Io char-
ter vessels of about 150 or 200 tong, *which could se .ip the
ore at Fredericsburg and land it at Ft‘odsham-bridge, ' on the
wharf of the company, thus avoiding the expense ath aadant
on transshipment.
" At present the cost of freight from Fredericsb urg to
New York istwo dollars per ton. The cost from Nen r York
to England is 2 t dollars per ton, or with commission.: fees at
Now York, three dollars.
" present it is necessary to adopt the New Yorl i route.
I arranged with Hr. Phillips, the shipping agent at Fr oderies-
burg, to receive all ore forwarded from the estate, and i to ship
it to New York. At New York, in like manner, I e '-ranged
with Mr. Lancing, of the European and Express ag bncy, to
reship to Liverpool the ore so received front Frederic: iburg.
"In conclusion, gentlemen, I have only to say tha the re-
sult of my mission has been to convince me of the v4lue and
capabilities of the nines upaiLyonr property.
" I am, gentlemen, your obedient dervant,
(Signed) " R08,,,RT R. THOM AS."
"There is on the estate about 200 acres of fine 1 Amber,
principally oak ; also, 100 acres of pine."

PROSPECTS AND ESTIMATED FROFITS OF 3 'HE .
UNDERTAKING.
It will have been seen from the foregoing Statemele.t, that
some weeks must necessarily elapse before the opera %ions of
the Company will be in full working order. But th e Direc-
tors now know enough of the conditions under wh (oh they
will be carried ou to be able to form a definite estimat ie of the
future.

The ore hitherto received in this country was sent ihnliscri-
minately by the parties on the spot. Nevertheless, from this
ore, which is inferior to the average production of tho estate,
the results already rendered have been obtained. The Direc-
tors prefer to base their calculations upon the smallest ascer-
tained yield in bulk, rather than upon that which tll4 :y sin-
cerely Lelieve will be ultimately produced. They tako , there-
fore, as their ground work a yield of lioz. of gold to !the ton
(vide Mr. Henry's Report.) At present they do not add any
estimate of profit from the silver abounding in the c)re, the
arrangements for its separate extraction not being :1 et per-
fected.

The machinery already in the Company's possessio a, or in
course of construction, will reduce 246 tons per week, and the
extent of the premises at Frodsham affords ample sesape for
such increased operations as may be determined upon:. The
Company propose to bring over the ore at convenient ;seasons
and to store it up at Frodsham, so as to maintain a continu-
ous supply. _ _

The position and conformation of the veins of qua:rtz are
such as to permit the employment of any number of m on dis-
tributed at different points. No heavy machinery is re quired
for this purpose, as all the necessary work can be done by
manual labour under the personal superintead.enee of Capt .
Hoskins, the well-known mining captain, who has hal a large
experience in mining operations, and with whom arrangements
have been made to leave this country, with a staff of miners,
before the close of next week.

The Directors have now ascertained that the expense of
raising, land and water carriage, and reduction at Frodshatn,
will be under B'. per ton.
The following, therefore, will be the results at the before-
mentioned rate of 246 tons per week.
246 tons per week amount to 12,792 tons per annum.
12,792 tons, yielding 5/. 10s. per tea (gross returns) £70,35'6
(Taking the price of gold as 3/. 15s. only. But this
geld fetches a higher price (41. 45.) on account
of its purity).
Cost of reducing 12,792 tons, at 3/. per ton 39,370

Nett annual profit on the Ore
Thus it is shown that the operation's of the Company will
yield a nett annual profit of more than 50 per cent. on tho
whole capital of 50,0001. after paying the royalty and the staff
expenses in England and on the estate.
This estimate, however, assumes that the yield shall be
only 11 oz. to the ton, and that the operations shall be limited
to 248 tons per week. But all ascertained results tend to
show that the yield will be much greater. That the calcula-
tion of quantity is very moderato, is attested by the fact that
the St. John pel Rey Company reduce upon the average more
than 80,000 tons annually.
The Directors have no desire to indulge in anticipations
which might appear extravagant or delusive. They, would
merely remind the Shareholders that they have not included
the profit on the silver (die yield of which is calculated at 20
oz. to the ton of ore, attainable at a cost of 21. per ton, and
leaving a surplus of 81. per ton), or on the sale of the finely-
ground refuse, which, in the opinion of practical men, will
pay nearly all the expenses.
All possible economy has been exercised in the expendi-
ture necessary to arrive at the foregoing results ; and the Di-
rectors feel assured that the operations at their Works will be
sufficiently advanced, to enable them to make their first half-
yearly statement to the Shareholders before the close of the
present year.
The Directors are happy to be able to repoat to the Share-
holders that the original capital of 50,0001. is more than suf-
ficient for all the requirements of the undertaking.

This Company comprises within its objects and operations
two branches of business :
(1.) A system of deep-sea fishing and the purchase and
curing of fish on the west coast of Ireland, the principal fea-
tureplant fishing grounds to the railways.
being the employment of steam-vessels as
carriers e he
he
f t
from
m
(2.) The manufacture of fish manure or fish guano from the
inedible fish and offal, and the extract of fish oil.
The Directors refer with gratification to the observa-
tions of tho press both in England and Ireland (set forth as an
appendix to a pamphlet, which, with full detailed prospectus,
may be had on application), expressing in the most forcible
manner favourable opinions of the undertaking, not only as
to its success in a commercial point of view, but as likely to
be beneficial to Ireland.
As to the first branch of operations of the Company
namely, fishing and the purchase of fish, it may be stated
that the waters of the west coast of Ireland abound with the
choicest cod, turbot, soles, lobsters, and other fish, but
hitherto, owing to a variety of causes well known, these
vast resources have not been turned to profitable account
The Company
on a large scale. proposes therefore to carry
out a system of general fishing on the deep sea banks, and to
purchase fish of every description throughout the west coast
of Ireland. One of the principal features in this plan is the
employment of steam-vessels as carriers, by which the fish
will be collected .daily at the several fishing stations, and
carried to the nearest railway. These vessels, iu combi-
nation with the Electric Telegraph and fast trains on the rail-
ways, added to a plentiful supply. of Ice, will insure a large
and regular delivery of fresh and cured fish in good condition,
within a few hours at the markets of London, Dublin, Liver-
pool,
Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, and all important
towns in the kingdom.
The Company's arrangements aro in a sufficient state of
forwardness to justify the expectation that fishing operations
will be commenced in the month of October next.
The fleet will, in the -first instance, consist of two screw
steam carriers of about 150 tons, six welled vessels of about
90 tens, and six of about 50 tons. There will also be store
vessels for keeping fish and lobsters alive, and several boats
of from 30 to 35 feet long for seine and drift-net fishing.
A most abundant supply of marketable fish may be calcu-
lated upon, and arrangements have been made which will
insure a sale of Almost any quantity. In confirmation of
this fact, the Directors refer to the document in the Appendix,
bearing the signatures of the principal fishmongers in London.
As to the nowt' branch, namely, the manufacture of fish
Manure or fish guano, oil, and glue, from the coarse and
inedible fish, and the ()fill of the curing stations.
It is impossible to overrate the importance of this branch
of the business.
It is an established and incontrovertible fact, that fully
one-half the fish taken either by trawl or line fishing, is
inedible or unsaleable, and heretofore the greater part has
been thrown overboard. In addition to this it is also known
that by the use of proper appliances an unlimited quantity
of every description of. coarse fish and emstaersa.._ may be
readily procured on the western coast of Ireland. These ,and
the offal of the prime or marketable fish, the Directors inteud
converting into pulverised fah manure or fish guano.
to Capital—lt is at present proposed to call up only

4 4

40,030/. (of which one-half has already been secured by pri-
vate subscription),.namely, 81. per share, payable as follows-
-21. as a deposit, and the remainder in three Separate calls, at
intervals of not less than three. months. The shares may,
however, be paid up in full at once, and in that case interest
at 5/. per cent. will be allowed ppon,all sums paid in antici-
pation of calls.

- In estimating the amount of profit which may be realised
by this undertaking, the directohs are anxious to avoid all
statements which might give rise to extravagant expectations;
but a most careful calculation of the annual expenses, and a
moderate estimate of returns, nOon authentic data, show,
upon the first branch of the nnkrtaking—namely, fishing,
purchase, and curing of fish--a ritturn of from 30 to 35 per
cent. upon the capital. '4.
The plan of operations and other information are fully de-
tailed in the prospectus, applications for which, and for the
explanatory patnphlet, and' for shares, are to be made to the
Solicitors, Brokers, or to the Secretary, at the offices of the
Company, either in London or Dublin.

The Honourable East India Company has determined to lay
a telegraphic cable from Kurrachee to the head of the Per-
sian Gulf.

The Austrian Government has established a company with
the requisite capital, paid up and guaranteed by the State,
for constructing and laying down a Submarine Electric Tele-
graph, in connection with its land lines, from Castara or
Ragusa, on the coast of the Adriatic, touching at Corfu,
Zante, and Candia to Alexandria, -and thence by Jaffa and
Beyrout to Seleucia; and have just concluded a contract for
the immediate execution of the work.
The Austrian Company gives to the English Government
and the East India Company a priority over the public in
transmitting their messages.

The European and Indian Juction Telegraph Company
(Limited) is established with the view to continue the elec•
tric communication from Seleucia, along the line of the pro-
posed railway, by Aleppo, Ja'ber Castle, and tho Valley of
the Euphrates, to the head of the Persian Gulf, thus complet-
ing the only remaining link between India and England.
The English Government will soon be able to communicate
with Malta and Corfu by a line to those islands from Cag-
liari, iu the Island of Sardinia, to which point the Mediter-
ranean Electric Telegraph is advanced.
From Cagliari, the French and Sardinian Governments
will have direct telegraphic communication with Alexandria
and the East.

All parts of India are or are about to be brought in tele-
graphic communication with Kurrachee, and the cable from
thence of the East India Company to the head of the Persian
Gulf, with the wires to be laid down by this Company will
bring India by nearly 2000 miles nearer Euglaud and the
Continent.

When the Submarine and Indian systems meet at Seleucia
the connection between the East and the West will be com-
plete, and England, the Continent, and India will be in
hourly communication.

From the arrangements contemplated it is certain that
the best, and safest telegraphic routes will be secured to
this country.

The Austrian Government has most strikingly evinced its
interest in this great undertaking, and its desire to main-
tain the position as the medium of communication between
other nations, by undertaking the completion of so large a
portion of the line.
The British Government and the Hon. East India Com-
pany duly appreciate the power of supervision and control
put into their bands by the telegraph, binding together in
one the isolated and distant dependencies of the empire,
and are prepared to extend their countenance and support
in a fair and liberal spirit.

The merchant and the shipowner are well acquainted with
the inestimable value to them of the power of imparting and
receiving prompt information. It is well known that heavy
loss has been suffered by the Indian mercantile community
through the non-receipt of immediate news of the adoption
•f the Austrian propositions for peace. The heavy contracts
made in Calcutta and Bombay in January last, for oil seeds,
jute, and saltpetre, would have boon prevented by a single.
message.

But the grand source of revenue will be derived from the
constant desire to communicate which is felt by members of
families when at a distance from each other; and when it is
considered how many thousands of families in England have
some near relative in India, the revenue, it is believed, from
this source alone, will be very large.
From the most reliable data that can be collected, the
Directors feel confident that, besides the pecuniary assistance
that may be expected from Government and the Honourable
East India Company, a highly remunerative return may be
expected on the capital embarked.
The Directors have the satisfaction of stating that they
have secured the valuable co-operation and assistance of Mr.
John Watkins Brett, the inventor and projector of the Sub-
marine Telegraph.

Mr. O'Shaughnessy, Superintendent of Telegraphs in India,
having already laid down in that country 4,000 miles of elec-
tric wire with extraordinary economy and success, and as
the cable in connection with the Indian system is about being
carried from Kurrachee to Kurnah, at the head of the Persian
Gulf, under his supervision, an application has been addressed
to the Court of Directors of the Honourable East India Com-
pany with the view to secure the advice of this eminent and
successful officer to this Company, so as to insure uniformity
of design and management throughout, from Calcutta and
Peshawur, Bombay, and Madras, to Soleucia. The Honour.
able Court have already intimated that they " would have no
objection to the experience which ho (Mr. O'Shaughnessy) has
acquired in India being made available for the line through
Asiatic Turkey."
" The electric telegraph is the most beautiful and surprising
invention of the age, and nothing. is more interesting than to
learn its rapid progress and wonderful results. The tele-
graphs of America are surpassed in length, solidity of con-
struction, and cheapness of working by those which within
the last few years, while we at home have been debating and
fighting on the Eastern question, have been carried over the
length and breadth of India. From Calcutta to the Indus,
to Bombay, to Madras, the messages of Government and indi-
viduals are speeded in a few hours, at a cost comparatively
trifling. Ceylon is to be united to the mainland, and the
time is already looked upon as near when the Telegraph will
cross the Mediterranean, run along the Red Sea and the coasts
of tie Indian Ocean (or rather by the Euphrates and the Per-
sian Gulf), and unite London and Calcutta in hourly commu-
nication. We cannot doubt that this work will be soon
achieved, and that no very long period will elapse before the
wires extend to Canton and. Shanghai, and perhaps, running
from island to island,
.will stretch on to Sydney and Mel-
bourne, and the great settlements of the antipodos."—Times,
Juno 16,1856.
One-half of the shares in this company are offered to the
scripholders in the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, who
may apply on or before the 2d of August, in the proportion
of one share in the Telegraph Company for every five shares
in the Railway Company.
The letter of application must be accompanied by the scrip
of the Euphrates Valley Railway Company, which latterwill
be forthwith returned, after being certified.
The shares not so apportioned will be allotted to the public
who may have applied on or before the above date.
No call will be made until .the concession has been secured
by the finnan of the Sultan, and the other arrangements con-
templated by the Directors are completed.
