ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The object of the Company is to acquire three valuable
mining properties in Carmarthenshire ; that is to say, Now
Nantymwyn, Gilfach, and Glan-Towy.
New Nantymwyn is a continuation westward of the
celebrated Nantymwyn Mines. These Mines have been
worked to immense profit for centuries, and appear to be
perfectly inexhaustible. Some idea may be formed of the
great value of these Lodes from the fact that they occupy
a channel of 180 feet in width, consisting of six divisions
or lode; and that a sink on one of them is now yielding
eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £2OO
per fathom for Lead.
2dly. The Gilfach property consists of a Lead Mine,
worked to some extent and furnished with water machi-
nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ol'e has been made
by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the
shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex-
plore another discovery of ore in the sett on the Lady
Eliza No. 2 Lodo,where there is a good back of ore ground
cropping up to and extending a considerable length along
the surface.
3dly. Glan-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which
have yielded Lead Ore in some quantity, exist on the top
of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive an
Adit to prove tho value of the Lode under the old sinks.
Plans taken from the Ordnance Survey, showing the ex-
act position of the Lode; together with ground plans of
the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful
mining engineer; at-e appended, and will ba forwarded on
application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may
be seen at the Company's Offices.
Taking into consideration the position of the Mines, the
highly favourable prospects, and the return of ore being
immediately available, the Directors feel confident that,
with the outlay proposed, profits equal to the adjoining
mines will be participated in by the Shareholders.
Applications for Shares, to ba accompanied with the
deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at
the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers.

St. Patrick's Day falling, this year upon a Sunday,
the benevolent society which has adopted the n:►me
of the national a dint, and labours meritoriously
among the children of the humbler Irish in London,
held its festival on the eve of the anniversary, as-
sembling its supporters and friends to dinner on
Saturday at Willis's Rooms. In the national, as in
the family life, anniversary gatherings are sometimes
tinged with melancholy, and since the first establish-
ment of this society, 81 years ago, there have been
few occasions on which friends and well-wisllers to
the prosperity of Ireland have been drawn together
under circumstances of greater discouragement. Fe-
nianism may be, and deservestobe, heartily despised.
It is not of native growth, and with the. extermina-
tion of those who scatter the seeds ill-weeds would
cease to grow apace. But the real mischief under-
lying the present organisation consists in its foreign
origin and propagation—in thefact that it has again
been thought worth while to make of Ireland a hot-
bed of foreign. intrigue. Great watchfulness, great
good sense, and cordial co-operation will be needed
on the part of Irishmen themselves to frustrate these
insidious attacks. Meanwhile, for English or for
Irish, no more instructive gathering could be held
than that of Saturday, although-its purpose was
avowedly non-political:,-The classes reached and in-
fluenced by the Benevolent Society of St. Patrick
are precieely those which, if neglected,' suffered to
grow up uneducated and without imperial sympa-
thies, will naturally form the tools of those who plan
excursions •to Chester or Cahirciveen. There are
thousands of them in every great ,city in the empire.
As the branch is trained so it will grow, bearing
British or American fruit. For Irishmen there was a
special moral to be drawn from the company who
sat down► to dinner. Irrespective of noblemen and
gentlemen now or lately high in position and trust,
there sat at the head table-the representatives of the
Government of the military and naval services of
England—the Earl of Longford and Mr. Corry. Both
of these are Irishmen: If Fenianism had its way to-
morrow, could it. open to any of its votaries positions
of influence and powerlike these ? The occasion
was to have been gracedby the presence of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, and in expectation of
the honour thus to be conferred. upon the national
society, the corps of London Irish Volunteers ob-
tained permission to furnish a guard of honour, con-
sisting of 10 men from each of its 12 companies, under
command of Capt. Cusack and Lieut. Lucas. Un-
fortunately the death of the mother of the King of
Denmark, which was only known with certainty on
Friday, prevented his Royal Highness almost at the
last moment from presiding, whereupon the duties of
chairman were undertaken by his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge. Somewhat less than 200
noblemen and gentlemen sat down to dinner, among
whom were•--the Earl of Cork, Earl Vane, Lord
Dufferin, Earl of Darnley, Earl of Dartrey, Earl of
Longford, Lord Annesley, - Viscount Harberton,
Bishop of Limerick, Sir Hervey Bruce, M.P.; Right
Hon. H. Corry, M.P., Sir James Power, M.P., Sir
Wm. Tyrone Power, K.C.8., Sir J. Prior, Col.
the Hon. 11. Cole, M.P., Capt. D. Darner, Sir R.
Howard, Mr. J. L. O'Beirne, M.P., -Col. Tyrwhitt,
Mr. W. H. Russell, Col. Sargent, C. 8., Mr. P.Van-
derbyl, M.P., Mr. C. M'Garel, Capt. M. J. O'Con-
nell, Capt. Corscaden, Dr. Maunsell, Mr. J. Ha-
milton, M.P., Dr. Nelson, Mr. Malvany, Mr. Mal-
, I colmsotn, Admiral Seymour, M.P., &c.
Copies of the annual report were distributed to
the guests, from which it appeared that the past year
had been an eventful one for the society. The sus-
pension of a banking firm of long standing, the
members of which had been for many years con-
nected with the charity, caused the resignation of
the treasurer, and on the eve of the late anniversary
festival the Marquis of Lansdowne was seized with
illness, which put it out of his power to take the
chair. In this emergency the committee appealed to
INIr. Chichester Fortescu!, then Chief Secretary for
Ireland, whose kindness at this critical conjunc-
ture was most gratefully acknowledged. The post
of treasurer, vacated by Mr. Bainbridge, had been
filled by Sir Ralph Howard. At the time of the
late treasurer's resignation the balance in that gen-
tleman's •hands was £6OO, but the committee had
reason to hope that the whole amount would ulti-
mately be repaid. The fundamental principles of
non-sectarian benevolence and charity, limited only
by nationality, on which the society is based, had
been consistently borne in mind ; the schools,
though not so full as in some previous years, were
in a satisfactory condition. The superintendents
gave a favourable account of the general health,
progress, and conduct of thescholars, but confirmed
the almost universal complaint, that, owing to the
demand for youthful labour, children are removed
at so early an age as to prevent their benefiting as
much as could be wished by the instruction afforded
in the schools.
His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, 10
proposing the first toast, expressed the deep regret
felt by the Prince of, Wales at being prevented by
an unfortunate circumstance from attending that
evening, and said his Royal Highness, understanding
it was his intention to be present and support him,
requested that he would take the chair in his stead.
(Cheers.) In introducing the
.toast, which preceded
all others, he felt that many remarks were not needed
to induce them to drink it with cordiality. In apart
of the world—which should be nameless—a great
deal had lately been heard about disloyalty; but he
was one of those Who believed that, if the feeling of
the population could be taken without reference to
external influence, it would be found that they were
as loyal as in any other part of her Majesty's dominions.
Ile had the advantage of living for some years in Ire-
land, and his firm belief was that if the people were
left to themselves—(loud cheers)—they were a re-
markably loyal and devoted people. Circumstances
not to be alluded to in a meeting of this nature had
undoubtedly arisen, causing unpleasant feelings ;
but he felt confident that if the whole of the -Irish
people could be polled the great majority would join
heartily in drinking Health and happiness to her
Majesty the Queen."'
The toast was drunk with manifestations of loyalty
and enthusiasm more than usually prolonged.
His ROYAL HIGHNESS prefaced the next toast—

" The Health of the Prince and Princeis of Wales
and the rest of the Royal Family"—by reading the
following letter which had been received from
General Knollys
"Marlborough-house, Pall-Mall, March 16.
" Sir,--I am co►umanded by the Prince of Wales to trans-
mit a cheque for 100 guineas, which his Royal Highness
requests you will be good enough to receive, as president of
the anniversary meeting this day of the Benevolent Society
of St. Patrick. It is with sincere feelings of regret and dis-
appointment that the Prince has been so unexpectedly pre-
vented taking the chair himself and advocating the interests
of a society so dear to the friends and so productive of
benefits to the children of Ireland.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, you r Royal Highness's
most dutiful servant, "J. KNOLLYS.
"Field-Marshal his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, K.G."
His Royal Highness went on to say :—I think the
expression given utterance to in that letter and the
large subscription sent by the Prince of Wales show
that though absent in person he is present in spirit.
(Cheers.) To the toast which it is now my duty
and pleasure to propose additional interest ettaches
from the fact that the health of her Royal High-
ness the Princess of "Wales has not been of that cha-
racter which I am con fident all present would desire.
I regret that the health of the illustrious partner of
his Royal Highness for some time past has been such
as to cause a good deal of concern, and that her
progress towards convalescence has been slow ; but
I trust that we may 'before long have the happiness
of congratulating ourselves on her Royal Highness's
entire recovery. (Cheers.) The strong feeling exist-
ing in the minds of all classes of the public respect-
ing the illness of. her Royal Highness has proved a
great source of gratification to the members of the
Royal Ettmily, 1. am Slue that good feeling and

His ROYAL ITEGFISESS next propo,erl, " The Army,
the Navy, and the Volunteers." had b3en told,
he said, that in some parts of the army there were
soldiers who could not be relied upon. lie did not
bell ye there was any sufficient foundation for this
charge. He was happy to say that no bodies of
troops had hal any opportunity of attesting their
loyalty and devotion to the service, but on small oc-
casions opportunities had been given, and he had not
heard a single instance of complaint against any sol-
dier in her Majesty's service. Great efforts had no
doubt been made to render some of our troops dis-
loyal. As far as he could learn those efforts had
been in vain. He must also say that the constabu-
lary of Ireland had proved their bravery, and
by their conduct entitled themselves to the greatest
credit. (Loud cheers.) Depend upon it, these men
had been placed in situations of the greatest diffi-
culty, and strenuous efforts had not been wanting
to shake their loyalty; but they bad neither been dis-
loyal, nor had they neglected their duty. (Cheers.)
In the army there were large numbers of Irish-
men, and there were no finer or braver soldiers in
the world. (Cheers.) Ile could not sal whether
there were many Irishmen in the navy, but he had
not the slightest doubt that if such was the case they
were equally bravo with their military confreres.
His Royal Highness described the controversies of
the present day with regard to the two services as
appalling. Between those claiming for increased
efficiency and those contending against undue ex-
penditure, for one man who was satisfied by seeing
his views carried out at least 200 were dissatisfied.
He believed the authorities had succeeded in going
neither too fast nor too slow. They were told now
that the Snider rifle was not the best thing that could
be got, that there were hundreds of things better.
Where were they ? The country had an arm which
he believed to be quite as good as that of any other
country. There had been some mistakes at first,
but, as this was a new arm, a little time was required
to get everything in order. In a very short time
the whole British army would be arm©d with the
Snider rifle, at a very small cost compared with that
which would have been incurred if the conversion
had not been practicable. On the part of the Prince
of Wales and on his own part, he was much gratified
with the compliment paid him by the London Irish
Regiment in forming a guard of honour. They were
a very fine corps, and he was exceedingly pleased
to see them there. _ _

Colonel SARGENT, C. 8., responded on behalf of
the army.
Several other toasts having been given and re-
sponded to, the proceedings terminated.
