ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The object of the Company is to. acquire three valuable
mining properties in Carmarthenshire ; that is to say, New
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 Ore 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 Lode,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 the value of the Lode under the old sinks.
Plans taken from the Ordnatm Survey, showing the ex-
act position of the Lodes, together with ground plans of
the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful
mining engineers, are appended, and will be 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 b 3 accompanied with the
deposit of ss. per Share, may be made to the Secretary, at
the Offices of the Company, or the Bankers.

IRELAND.

MORE FENIAN ARRESTS.
CORK, Wednesday Morning.

Fenian arrests continue to be made in this county.
James A. O'Brien, manager of a commercial
establishment in this city, who is charged with being
a head centre, and with leading a Fenian attack on
Ballynockin police-station, has been committed for
trial for high treason. He is shown to have been in
correspondence with Stephens.
More fragments of wrecks have been picked up
along the coast. They are supposed to be portions
of a large passenger steamer lost last week off this
harbour.

CORK, Wednesday Evening.
Several arrests have been made in Mill-street and
neighbourhood on a charge of being concerned in an
attack on Mount Leader Houses by an armed body
of Fenians, led by an American officer, and stealing
arms.

The hierarchy and clergy of Ireland have
laboured with indefatigable zeal in the cause of
peace, order, and loyalty since the first manifesta-
tion of the intended Fenian rebellion, and the
Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin has assuredly set
a distinguished example on the occasion. In his
Lentenipastoral his Eminence reiterated his earnest
monitions on the subject, and again, in that which
he issued for the festival of the National Apostle,
the Cardinal takes the opportunity to condemn in
the strongest terms the principles of Fenianism,
and to caution his people against them. • After
dwelling on some of the most edifying traits in
the character and mission of St. Patrick, his
,Eminence comes to points of especial national in-
terest, and remarks :—" Well may we rejoice that,
through the intercession of St. Patrick, our Church
has ever preserved unsullied the sacred deposit
of truth, which, at the bidding of the Vicar of
Christ, he bore with him to our shores. In the
all-holy designs of Providence, our island was for
centuries tried in the crucible of affliction ; wave
after wave of persecution rushed over it, destroy-
ing the records of its piety and the monuments of
its religion. But no fury of the storm could tear
from its bosom the cherished treasure of Catholic
faith ; and were our Apostle to revisit this scene
of his missionary toils he would find, despite all
the efforts of the Evil One, myriads of our people
professing the same sacred truthi which he
preached, practising the virtues 'which he incul-
cated, cherishing the spirit of mortification, pen-
ance, and prayer, which so characterised his
earthly career ; and he would see their charities
and their other virtues displayed and perpetu-
ated in enduring monuments, destined to diffuse
the same blessings of religion through genera-
tions yet to come. WWII the lamp of our faith
was lit at the shrines of Rome, the powers of Satan
seemed to threaten with destruction that city of
God. Italy was invaded by the Huns, and Visi-
goths, and Vandals, not unlike the enemies of re-
ligion who now render desolate her fair plains.
At that time Leo did not fear to confront Attila ;
and in' the Roman Pontiff_ was found the only
mainstay' of order and civilization throughout
Europe. The same scene has often been renewed
in succeeding ages, and at the present day the
great Pius alone stems the torrent of infidelity
and communism which once more threatens to
submerge the world. From our Apostle we re-
ceived t4e..seal of ,devoted attachment to that, city
of God, and it bag been our priyilege to be

reckoned among the warmest defenders of the
rights of the Holy See. In the early ages of our
faith the saints who adorned our Church by their
learning and virtues made this union with the
Vicar of Christ the cherished theme of their teach-
ing and exhortations. It continued uninterrupted
throughout the whole period of the Danish devas-
tations, which lasted for 220 years ; and the same
devotion to the Holy See was displayed in full
vigour and freshness when, at the beginning of
the twelfth century, a comparative calm and peace
smiled upon our island. In the centuries of social
disorder which ensued, this devotedness to the
Sovereign Pontiff still characterized our people ;
and, even through a dreadful era of persecution,
it preserved to us the faith and the traditions of
our fathers. Now that the era of penal laws and
persecution is at an end, and the reign of reli-
gious. liberty has been inaugurated, let us hope
that the same Catholic feeling will every day take
deeper root, and 'Continue to produce the richest
fruits of good works ; so that Ireland, closely con-
nected with the centre of Christianity, may ever
be worthy of the title of Island of Saints. The Car-
dinalthen adverts to the recent Fenian proceedings
as " so well calculated to injure the country, to stop
all business, to increase the miseries and wants of i
the people; and to afflict every friend of rfelaild7l
and shows that, in common with other secret so-
cieties, the Fenian Brotherhood incur the penalty
of excommunication. He observes that, so far as
the great body of, the faithful of this archdiocese
are concerned, it is not so necessary to dwell
on this subject of Fenianism, adding :—" Un-
doubtedly you feel that you suffer admitted grie-
vances ; you complain of them, and you endea-
vour to obtain redress by peaceful and legitimate
means, following the advice and the example of the
great O'Connell; but, at the same time, you abhor
all conspiracies and other deeds of darkness, and
you condemn revolutionary movements, always
the source of the greatest calamities, and generally
leading to the establishment of military despotism.
This feeling is so general that even in the very
neighbourhood of this metropolis, where every
effort was made to enlist the sympathies of the
working classes, as I have learned on the best
authority, the rural population, the bone and sinew
of the country, could not be induced to join in
any attempt to resist authority, or to violate the
law. The same feeling happily prevails in the
counties of Wicklow and Kildare, and in all the
remote districts of this diocese, and I believe
it is prevalent in every part of the kingdom—
that is, the people, though sorely feeling their
grievances, and suffering from the effects of
past party legislation, are determined not to
have recourse to revolution, violence, or blood-
shed, in order to obtain redress." As to his
motives, however, for refering, so frequently as
he has done, to the evils of secret and revolu-
tionary societies, his Eminence thus writes :
" My reason for having done so is, that I was con-
vinced that for the last five years attempts were
continually made, though without much success, to
seduce unsuspecting tradesmen, and to lead
astray unwary and unexperienced young men
into illegal combinations, by promises of liberty
and independence. Whilst wolves were seeking to
devour the flock I could not be silent. It afflicted
me to think that even one of the poor committed
to my care should be drawn away from the paths
of duty; hence I found myself obliged to speak
incessantly, in season and out of season, against
the evils in which designing knaves were endea-
vouring to involve good and religious but incau-
tious young men. Would to God that they had
listened to my advice 1 Had they done so, our
fields would not have been stained with their
blood, our gaols would not be filled with so many
prisoners, And our hills and valleys would not be
the scene of the sufferings which hail, rain, snow,
cold, and hunger have inflicted on those who
did not listen to the advice which had been given
them for their own interest, and in a spirit of pa-
ternal charity. As it was easy to forsee the evils i
which were impending, why should I not have
endeavoured to prevent them? Now that they
are known to all, let me ask, is there any heart so
hard that would not be touched by the sight of
so much misery? For my part, I feel the greatest
compassion for the poor deluded people, and I
think then' worthy of the greatest commisseration.
They were made dupes of by others, and they
were led astray by the vilest arts and impostures.
They cannot, indeed, be justified ; but public in-
dignation ought not to be directed so much against
them as against the knaves and miscreants who
seduced them against the men who have in-
troduced among us the system of plotting and of
action represented by Mazzini and Garibaldi, a
system admired and eulogised by public writers
when applied to other countries, but which, in
reality, is worthy of the reprobation of all mankind.
Probably the praises given in our public press to
those heroes of revolutionism and the ovations
granted to them by the public, have had con-
siderable influence in bringing about the misdeeds
which we now deplore. The unfortunate poor men
who have been led astray by their enemies have
suffered severely for their folly, but they must
admit that their sufferings would have been much
greater were it not that our rulers have acted
with great lenity and moderation, and that the
police and others actively employed in preserving
the public peace seem to have been animated with
a most praiseworthy spirit of hamanity in all
their proceedings. May God inspire all in author-
ity to continue to act in this way ! May all their
undertakings be guided by a spirit, not of hatred
or vengeance, but of Christian charity ! Kindness
' is always felt and appreciated by the warm-hearted
people of Ireland, and produces a great impression
even on those who would be but little moved by
the terrors of the law." _ _

On Saturday and Sunday last the public mind
was a good deal agitated by vague rumours of in-
tended risings, and since then numerous arrests
and discoveries of concealed arms have been
effected in various parts of the country, but with
these exceptions nothing of the slightest interest
has occurred with reference to Fenianism during
,the past week. Perhaps this state; of tranquill-
ity is mainly to be attributed to the weather, for
any kind of campaigning, regular or irregular,
could scarcely have been practicable for the last
fortnight. The Special Commissions for the
trial of the Fenian prisoners will not commence
their labours till about the second week in April.
That for Dublin will be opened on the Bth of
April, but will then be adjourned for a few days
to give time for certain preliminary steps required
in trials for high treason. The second Special
Commission will sit in Limerick, Tipperary, and
Cork successively, instead of the separate com-
missions for each of these places originally pro-
posed. It is now hoped that none will be visited
with the extreme penalty of the law except those
who shall be proved to have added to the crime of
treason, that of having been directly concerned
in taking human life.
Nothing has been more commoh in the province
of Ulster, for many generations past, than that
kind of one-sided justice which punishes the
Catholic and gives immunity to the Protestant for
the same offence. A band of armed Orangemen,
with party emblems, and drums and fifes playing
party tunes, marches along the highway, shout-
ing defiance against Catholics and insulting
them with party cries, and curses, and offensive
airs, trying, in fact, every means to provoke them
to aggression where they well know that they
have the superiority of arms and numbers on
their own side. Under such circumstances- a colli-
sion between the two parties very frequently occurs,
but in almost every instance the Catholics alone
are made amenable, and the real aggressors come
off scot-free. A case of this kind came for trial
before Justice lieogh at the Tyrone A3nizen thin

The report of the directors states that the works
and stations between the West London Extension
Railway and the Kensington and Glocester:road
joint stations were so far advanced that tbacy' art of
—the. railway might -be -opened-far traffic witfitra few
months. The directors anticipated a considerable
addition to the Metropolitan, or « inner circle,"
traffic proper from the passengers which would be
brought upon the line by the connexion which they
had formed with the principal metropolitan rail-
way companies. During the last half-year the di-
rectors had made two calls, and they had decided on
making another, payable in the middle of April.
The directors were convinced that the general dis-
trust of railway investments had no foundation
whatever in regard to undertakings of the class of
the Metropolitan Railway and the Metropolitan
District Railway ; that a few months would suffice
to restore at least former confidence, that the price
of the ordinary shares would have a rapid rise, and
that the anxiety for investment in the debentures
would enable the board to make a reduction in the
rate of interest. In the meantime the directors be-
lieved that they were acting with prudence in care-
fully regulating their expenditure, confining it as
much as possible to the portions of line first to be
opened, and also in giving their attention to the
creation of a debenture stock as soon as practic-
able in lieu of the ordinary debentures. The com-
pany was now in possession of surplus lands of con-
siderable value, and the directors had decided on
taking steps for the disposal of all surplus property
at the earliest period consistent with the interests
of the company. The new works of the Metro-
politan Railway, extending from the junction with
the Metropolitan District Railway at Brompton to
Paddington, continued to be so enermtically prose-
cuted as to leave no doubt of their being ready for
traffic simultaneously with those of the district rail-
way to Westminster.
