of NELSON looked down upon the spot which was
to bear his honoured, and thrice renowned, and
ever glorious name ? It is not yet too late to repair
this omission. The pseudo-pavement cannot be en-
dured—it must come up. On the soil it has been
it allowed to disgrace, plant, Englishmen! and reve-
rently rear, and anxiously watch over, and affec-
tionately :approach, a grove of laurels ; the fitting,
and evergreen, and ever-beautiful and ennobling
emblem of that unrivalled maritime hero, whose
proud motto in life was Palmam qui meruit feral ; and
who, after death, should have even his sculptured
effigy reared amidst the scions of that tree which his
undaunted head bore over every sea, to every shore,
and naturalised in every clime where the flag of his
native country had once been unfurled ; her power and
her honour vindicated, and bis own fame enshrined
in the unsculptured but immortal records of victory

Massey, from the establishment of James Hargreave
and Co., of Leeds, examined by Mr. CLARKSON.—The invoice

Mr. Bannister of Portheas It appears to be posted to Port-
sea, and re-posted to Mr. Mulling, of Ironmonger•lane,
London. The prisoner is the man who purchased from me.
The prisoner's hand writing is in this ledger, stating how
the goods are to be sent. The date of entry is the 9th of
April, and the amount of invoice is 1781. 18s. The goods
were sent by Deacon and Co.'s waggons, and the invoice was
forwarded by post. We drew upon the prisoner for the good.
sold to him, and teceived his acceptance on the sth of May.
That bill was dishonoured at maturity. An order was re-
ceived before the bill had arrived at maturity for a parcel of
goods. The order was not executed. The debt of 1781. 18s.
was proved in the Court of Bankruptcy.
Lewis Adolphus--I am in the service of Moses and Son, and
manage their concern. I remember some days before the
Ist of May Mr. Bannister coming into our. shop ;
and he asked Mr. Moses whether he bought woollen
clothes. Mr. Moses replied that he did. He then stated that
be was a draper in Portsea, and he did not find it answer.
He wished to get rid of a woollen stock. He thought
the first loss would be the best. On the
Ist of May he returned, and brought the goods to the ware-
house. There was nearly a cart load. He offered them for
sale. We examined them, and Mr. Bannister stated a price
for them, and a less price was offered him. The goods were
purchased for 104/. 12s. 6d. They were paid by a cheque
upon our bankers.
The RECuRDER.—What is this number, 4181 at the bottom
of the invoice? Witness—The number of yards of the
pieces added together.
The RECORDER—At ss. a yard? Witness—Yes.
Mr. Quilter recalled, and examined by the RECORDER—
The goods sold to Mr.-Moses, agree in the numbers of the
pieces, and the lengths of yards, with the goods got from
Messrs. Hargreaves, of Leeds.
Mr. CLARKSOI.7 then proposed that the prisoner's exami-
nation before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, at the Court of
Bankruptcy, should be read, which was done.
After the reading of these papers, which occupied a consi-
derable time, the jury were allowed to retire for half an hour,

of a corps not engaged, to cut off the communications of the
insurgents,*so that the latter were obliged to cut their way,
step by step, exhausted by fatigue, want of food, and almost
without ammunition. It is said positively that only from
600 to 700 were enabled to regain the Bernese and Argovian
territories, and that in a deplorable state. The losses oh
either side cannot be exactly ascertained) but those of the
Lucernese must hare exceeded the losses of the insurgents.
I will not notice the contradictory details in the journals. I
expect soon to be able to give you an exact picture of this
bloody contest, which will produce a prodigious effect in all
Switzerland. Never,' says a letter which I have received
from Berne, has any event been received with so much
torpor upon one side, and so many expressions of indignation
by the great majority. The whole population are in affright.
It is asked, on all sides, if the Government can remain in-
active with 30,000' men at its disposal, of which a third are
already under armi' "
Another correspondent who writes from Arau, April 2,
says
"Yesterday evening the news spread that the second
column had entered Lucerne, and was there closely blockaded.
It was even said that a letter had been received from the
Commander-in-Chief stating he could hold out twenty-four
hours. It was soon known that this was not the fact ;
night passed in the greatest anxiety. In the morning a part
of the first column, which had returned the evening before,
moved off to the relief of its brethren in arms, but arrived
too late to be of service. There can be no doubt that the
second column was cut in pieces. The first column having
been repulsed, the Lucernese bent all their forces against
the second, which was at the gate of Lucerne. It is certain
that the Government of Lucerne had collected an imposing
force. The whole population of Uri Schwytz, Unterwal-
den, and Zug, with many hundred
Catholics from Argovia,
hadanswered to the call of Lucerne. It is said that the Go-
vernment had not less than 20,000 combatants at its disposition.
The column of refugees was driven back to Malters, at two
leagues and a half from Lucerne. There it wheeled round
and faced the enemy, because it had to pass a defile which
the Lucernese wanted to get possession of. But already
were the refugees and their friends surrounded. Cannon
were directed upon them right and left, while they were
attacked in the rear, and the whole column was cut to
pieces. The number of killed was enormous, and many
families are plunged in despair. The towns of Zofinque and
Arau, with the canton of Bale, suffered the most, because it
was the free corps of these places that fought the most vigor-
ously. A great number of prisoners were made."
The Zurich Diet has addressed a circular to the
different cantons, calling upon them to repress the exer-
tions of the free corps, and use every means to put an
end to the civil war. Several cantons had replied to the
circular, and announced their intentions to second the
Diet under the alarming circumstances.
At TORTONI'S on Sunday the Three per Cents. were
quoted at 85f. 75c.

Two meetings were held last evening in the metro-
polis, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against
the proposed additional grant to the College of May-

nooth. The meetings consisted chiefly of Dissenters,
and several of the speakers announced in suitable
terms their attachment to the Protestant faith,
and the danger of encouraging a religion which
they consider hostile to their best interet.ts:

No one who is alive to the blessings conferred
by the Reformation, can fail to admire the strong feel-
ing in favour of Protestantism prevalent in this country ;

but that feeling, and we may add that virtue, like al'

others, should be exercised with discretion. It cannot

destroy the Catholic Church. The experiment has been
made, and every day only furnishes additional proofs of
its failure. Provision is already made for the education
of Catholics in Ireland and in all our colonies, not be •

NEW COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.
ADROIT THIEVES.-William Todd, aged 20, shopman, and
William King, aged 22, weaver, both very respectably dressed
Wood,
men, were convicted of entering the house of Mr.
Wood, 73, Broad-street. and stealing four pair of trousers and
other articles, value 51. Todd was further charged with
stealing a handsome silver salver, value 141., from the cham-
bers of Mr. Francis Paget Watson, of No. 8, Thavies' Inn,
on the 10th of March last.
The prisoner, it appeared, availed himself of the temporary
absence of the maid-servant, who had left the door ajar, to
enter the chambers of Mr. Watson. He was observed to
enter and leave the house in a suspicious manner, with his
coat closely buttoned, and to hurry away, by a boy who was
in a cart at the door, and who afterwards pointed him out
amongst several other prisoners in the Compter. The pri-
soner was taken into custody on the day following the
rob-
bery, and 131. Bs. and a watch were found in his possession,
for which he gave no reasonable account. The police had
been unable to discover the salver, and it is not unlikely that
soon after it was stolen it changed its original form.
The jury found him Guilty.
King was further charged with stealing a watch, value 31.,
from the house of Thomas Illsley, of 74, Old Broad-street,
on the Ist of March.
The watch was in the possession of the prisoner when
taken into custody on the above charge. His deferce was,
that he bought it and a pair of trousers from a Jew for 305.,
in a public- house in the City. This was proved by the pri-
soner's brother and a cabman, who were present at the bar-
gain; and the jury acquitted the prisoner.
From questions put to the police-constable, it appeared
that the prisoners were companions, and that they associated
with thieves, and that a great number of robberies had been
committed in the district in which they resided—Bethnal-
green.
The COMMON SERGEANT ordered a silver watch and gold
chain, and a ring found on Todd, to be givea up to his mother,
a respectable elderly female, and the 131. Bs. to Mr. Watson,
from whom the salver was stolen, and which, there was every
reason to believe, was the produce of its sale. In passing
sentence upon the prisoners, the Learned Sergeant said
that they had been carrying on a systematic system of plun-
dering the public for some months, and had associated with
thieves for this purpose, and it was his duty to protect the
public from such characters. He should not be discharging
his duty if he did not pass a sentence upon them which would
be a lesson to others. The sentence of the Court was, that
they be transported for ten years.

cause their tenets are approved of by the State cr. the
majority of the nation, but because the Catholics will
remain fixed in their faith in defiance of persecution ;
and it is better that they should have teachers well
educated and friendly to our institutions, than a priest-
hood comparatively ignorant, imbued with foreign
habits and political doctrines, and hostile to everything
English. Opposition to this prudent and charitable
scheme is not only hopeless, but it is dangerous to the
very religion professed by the whole body of Dissenters.
They have more to fear from the Puseyite Church than
the openly avowed and ancient faith of the Catholics.
And who are the bitterest enemies of this grant to May-
nooth? The enemies of the Dissenters—the bitter op-
ponents of the great measure for repealing the Test and
Corporation Acts, the unflinching and unscrupulous ad-
vocates of church-rates, and of every unjust impost levied
from other religionists for the benefit of the richest
Church in the world. Who were the tellers of the
minority against the grant on Friday morning last ?

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
The House sat to-day-to bear appeals. The Feers present
were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord
Campbell.

Sir ROBERT H. INGLIS and Mr. J. P:PLUMPTRE—tho one
representing the Puseyite University of Oxford, and the
other the most bigoted and Church-ridden county in Eng-
land. The High Church party is represented by those
two senators, and one of the leading principles of that
party is adopted from the doctrine openly professed by
the monopolising and overbearing Roman,—" Divide
and conquer." By joining with such men, the Dissenters
are playing into the hands of those that only watch the
opportunity of crushing them and Catholics together.
A debt of gratitude, too, is due to the latter. Their
representatives in Parliament have even voted for
relief to other religious sects—they have voted
against church-rates, and will vote again, though
all their best interests are opposed by Christians to
whom they have rendered essential services. It is
gratifying, however, to find that all Churchmen do not
belong to this persecuting sect. Even the men of Kent
begin to be moved by a sense of justice and charity.
The new and favourite candidate for the western division
of the county has announced his intention to rote for the
grant to Maynooth, on the ground that "in the early
education of the Catholic clergy, error was greatly
mixed up with truth, and he considered that a larger
grant for the purpose of procuring intelligent men to teach
the candidates for the priesthood in Ireland the whole
truth was exceedingly desirable." His remarks excited
some marks of disapprobation, but they were drowned
by the voices of men who, while they did not forget their
religion, remembered that there was but a choice of
evils, and that it was their duty to lean to the side of
charity.

Madrid journals of the 31st ult. hare been received.
The investigation into the late conspiracy was going on,
and several of the persons arrested had been set at
liberty, there being no proofs against them. The Senate
had commenced the discussion on the Bill for restoring
the unsold Church property, which would be passed as
a matter of course.

The Three per Cents. closed 341 for cash, and 341
at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 26 for cash, and 261
at 60 days; and the Debt without interest, at 6i at 60

The emancipation of the negroes in the French colonies
and the news from Switzerland form the leading topics
in the Paris journals. On Saturday the Prince DE
MOSKOWA (son of NEY) resumed his speech in the
Chamber of Peers against the Government measure
for modifying the evils of slavery and preparing the
unhappy victims for complete emancipation. It
is rather singular that of the most ardent
friends of liberty (if we are to take their own profes-
sions), Baron ChARLES DUPIN and this chivalrous
Prince are the most bitter enemies of the blacks. The

Prince is especially indignant at the attempt—as dan.

gerous to the colonies, and a reprehensible imitation of
England, which has ruined her colonies by setting her
slaves free. "The English colonies," said he, "are struck
to death. If we wi:h to preserve our colonies, let
us reject this Bill." Two other Peers addressed the
Chamber—one in favour of emancipation, and the other
against it, when the Count DE MONTALEMBEItT rose to
reply, but owing to the lateness of the hour the debate
was adjourned till Monday. In the Chamber of De-
puties, M. BEN OIST presented the report of the Com-
mittee on the Bill for the Conversion of the
Five per Cents., which recommends that this
stock should be converted into Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., and reduces to seven years the guarantee to the
holders that for that period no further reduction shall
take place. It also shortens the period within which
the holders are to make their declaration.

The accounts from Switserland in these papers fully
confirm the defeat of the volunteers in their attack on
Lucerne. The following appears in the Journal de
Debar's:—
" All the accounts which have reached us represent the
defeat of the free corps as more complete than was at first be-
lieved. The victors have made, it is aaid, more than 1,500
prisoners. The Government of Lucerne has refused to sur-
render them, and they are confined among the little moun-
tain cantons, where it will be very difficult to retake them.
Lucerne demands to be paid the expenses of the war. The
number of killed is not known, but it must be considerable
from the dreadful fury of the combat. General Sonnenberg
had designedly drawn the free corps into the heart of the can-
ton, retiring to Gutsch, a height overlooking Lucerne. When
he saw them engaged he fell upon them suddenly,while they
were attacked upon the other side by the landaturm, who
had risen behind them. The column of refugees and of Ber-
nese free corps who had entered from this side was cut in
pieces. The whole staff of the free corps, who had made part
of this column, were taken or killed. The victors returned
triumpbantll into the town, bringing back the cannon and
munitions of the enemy. The column which had marched
from Zofinque, composed of refugees and of Argovian volun-
teers, encountered another division of Lucernese troops at
Sursee and was equally defeated ; 2,500 men returned to Ar-
govia. Of the third column, which marched from Runach,
there is no news. The Catholic party of Argovia and a part
of the canton of Soleure had risen and marched to the relief
of Lucerne. List, the capital of Bale-Campagne, and one
of the strongest holds of the Radical party, was almost de-
serted, and the inhabitants in flight. The fear of a civil war
was general, for the Conservative party of the canton of Bale
were in a state of apprehension. he party
had ordered out
seventeen battalions under the command of the federal Col.
Donatz."
The Zurich correspondent of the Conaitutionnel, who
pretends to good sources of information, admits the de-
feat, but regards it as only temporary. His letter is
dated Zurich, April 2 :
" Reduced to its proper forces, the Lucernese Govern-
ment, notwithstanding its immense preparations during the
last three months, could have effected nothing, for it was
opposed by half of its own population ; but, with the aid of
the four primitive cantons, who at the decisive moment
poured forth literally their whole male population, the
triumph of the Government was assured ; as yet it has only
been purchased by torrents of blood. The refugees and the
volunteers have succumbed after efforts worthy the most
heroic periods of our annals. For three hours the victory
was balanced, but how could from 4,000 to 5 000 men,
after a march of fourteen leagues, and who were
obliged to seize by main force upon all the im-
portant passages, so as to reach Lucerne in a day—how
could columns, composed for the most part of men who
had met for the first time only the evening before, and
whose organisation was defective and incomplete—hew
could they hold out against 20,000 men (its number ac-
knowledged by the victors themselves) all fresh troops ? For
they had only to make the journey of a lake upon two
steamers. in movement night and day, the 31st March and
Ist of April ; on the other hand, the insurgents were obliged
to bivouack in the plains or upon hills covered with snow
throughout two cold nights, while the troops of the little
cantons disposed of the resources of a capital city. And yet,
when the expeditionary army learned what new and nume-
rous enemies it had to combat, not a word of discourage-
ment was heard to escape ; no one thought of retreating,
which would then have been easy; they all prepared, conse-
quently, for the battle. Eight times the heights which
overlook Lucerne were taken and retaken. But no sooner
were three or four Government battalions put hors de combat,
than they were replaced by fresh troops. It would have re-
quired supernatural resources to have held out against such
odds.

tulating the Proprietary upon the projected South Wales
Railway. It would pass through the centre of the Com-
pany's Works at Cwm Avon and Port Talbot, and greatly
facilitate the transit of its productions: The operations of the
Company in the past year were as follows :—At Swansea they
had raised 46,476 tons of coal, 21,535 tons of which they had
consumed. In the works they had smelted and refined
1,625 tons of copper. At Cwm Avon they had raised
58,188 tons of coal at the old collieries, 54,718 at Oakwood,
and 27,361 at Bryn; making a total of 140,267 tons; of
which they had consumed 96,893 tons, and sold 45,487. The
quantity of iron produced:from Cwm Avon and Oakwood fur-
naces had been 8,070 tons. These works had made 42,431
boxes of tin plates, and smelted and refined 2,269 tons of
copper. The Board concluded their address by stating that
the Court of Assistants had resolved upon declaring a divi-
dend at the rate of Si. per cent. per annum upon the paid-up
capital of the Company, payable, free of income-tax, on and
after the 14th inst.
The speech was adopted, and ordered to be printed and
circulated amongst the Proprietors, on the motion of Mr.
GoODBEART, seconded by Mr. MAsoN.
Mr. WARREN asked whether it would not be advisable,
under existing circumstances, to increase their operations in
regard to iron ? It was calculated that there would be a de-
ficiency of half a million of tons if the present railway projects
were carried out.
The GOVERNOR told the Hon. Proprietor that his suggestive
had been anticipated by the Directors, who were at present
directing their attention to the point of raising more iron.
Mr. Abel Lewis Gower was then elected Governor, and Mr.
John Nix, Deputy Governor; and the following gentlemen
were appointed Assistants :—Messrs. Alston, Enthoven, Ken-
nard, Lawrie, Little, Logan, Macdonnell, Moorsom, Paull,
• Pelly, Ricketts, Ricketts, Vigurs, and Walters.
Thanki were then voted to the late Governor, Deputy
Governor, and Assistants for their past services on behalf of
the Company, and the Court broke up.

The affairs of Switzerland are exciting some apprehensions
on the part of at least the more timid holders of stock. But
in the opinion of the more bold, and perhaps we may add
reckless speculators, the affair is looked up to with acme de-
gree of inattention.
As to the Oregon Boundary question, the Bear party in the
Stock Exchange is little concerned as to the result ; still,
under all circumstances, politics are not considered to look
quite so buoyant as they were a month or so ago.
There are not any arrivals of importance from the British
Colonies this morning.
A fair amount of business has been transacted in the public
Securities to-day. Consols are rather lower, the price for
Money being 99%, and the same for the Account. All the
other Stocks have varied in about the same proportion. Ex-
chequer-bills are not quite in so good a demand.
There is scarcely any business doing in the Foreign Secu-
rities, which are nominally at about 'previous rates. Spanish
Active Bonds have been marked 301% to %, and the Three
per Cents. 40% %. Buenos Ayres have been 42%. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been marked 63, and the
Four per Cents. 97 to 97%.
A very extensive business is doing in Railway Shares,
which are nearly all higher again.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The sessions commenced this morning at ten o'clock, be
fore the Assistant Judge (Mr. Sergeant Adams), and a full
bench of magistrates.
The JUDGE charged the grand jury at considerable length
upon the manner in which they should discharge their
duties, and the kind of evidence by which they should be
gewerned in finding or rejecting bills. He recommended
them to take the larceny cases first, because the Court would
take none other this day, the cases of assault, fraud, nui-
sance, &c., being postponed to another day. To return in-
dictments first in the latter class of cases would be a waste
of the juries' own time, as well as of the magistrates' ; and
time was of some importance, as they had a very heavy
calendar to deal with.
The grand jury having retired, the Court proceeded to
swear in the common juries. A great number of persons
summoned were excused on pleas of illness and other grounds.
A gentleman, who described himself as a teacher in a public
institution, claimed to be excused on the ground that he is
required to give a lecture upon anatomy daily, and that the
season is at hand when those lectures must be suspended.
The applicant was excused.
A veterinary surgeon claimed to be exempted, also, on
account of his professional engagements.
The COURT did not think that the case was so strong as
that of the last applicant. There was nothing particularly
pressing as to time of year in the profession of the present
claimant for exemption.
The gentleman said that he attended a great many gentle-
men's horses by contract, and as the town wes now very full,
the calls upon his attention were numerous. If a. horse,
belonging to any of his customers, were to die whilst he was
detained here as a jurer, the owner might have an action
against him.—(A laugh.)
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS—Oh, pooh !If any action is brought
against you, call me as a witness to prove that you were de-
tained by your duty here.—(A laugh.)
Mr. James L. Wilson, of Highbury-terrace, applied to the
Court to be released from the tine for non-attendance to his
summons as a grand juror, on the ground that he had been
unavoidably detained, and was only live minutes late.
The JUDGE—You are excused.
The officer—My Lord, the gentleman refuses to be sworn.
The JUDGE—How is that? Mr. Wilson—l have religious
scruples to take an oath.
The JuDGE-7What are you? Mr. Wilson—l am a gen-
tleman.
The JUDGE—That is not what we want to know. What
religious profession are you of, to entitle you to exemption
from an oath ? It is a very serious claim to set up, and we
ought to know that you have legal grounds. If you have
not, your refusal to take an oath might prevent, in some pro-
bable case, the acquittal of an innocent person. What are
you? Mr. Wilson—l consider myself a gentleman; but I
am summoned here as a merchant.
The JUDGE—Pray can you not answer a question? You
claim to be exempted from taking an oath, and I ask you
what you are to have that claim? Mr. Wilson—l am a
linen-draper; that is, it is part of my business; but I am
described as a merchant.
The JUDGE—StiII you don't answer me. Do you attend
in your shop to do business as a linen-draper? Mr. Wilson
—Yes, I do.
The JUDGE—You come here to say that you have reli-
gious scruples against taking an oath, yet you cannot answer
a simple question. You first say you are a gentleman, and
then it comes out that you are a linen-draper attendingyour
own shop. You are fined 1/.
THE SPA-FIELDS GRAVE-YARD NUISANCE.—Mr. BAL-
LANTYNE, on the part of Robert Vend and the other de-
fendants in this case, applied upon affidavits to have the trial
postponed to next session. He put in the affidavits of Mr.
Lewis, solicitor for the defence, to the effect that the accused
could not be prepared for trial in the present session, there
being seventy witnesses to examine.
Mr. Lewis—l have only sworn to seventy, but there are
now one hundred and twenty summoned.
The JUDGE said that if he were to postpone the case in the
terms of the application, the case would come on upon a
Saturday. Now, did the Learned Counsel think the case
could be concluded in one day ?
Mr. WILD, who appeared for the prosecution, said it would
occupy two or three days.
The JUDGE had a.great objection to take a case of this
kind on a Saturday, as it would be spread all over the
country in an unfinished state by means of the Sunday
papers.
After some further conversation between the bench and
the bar, it was ultimately agreed that the trial should take
place on Monday, the 28th of April.
The Court was occupied the rest of the morning with cases
of larceny possessing no particulars of the least public in-
erest.

The Commissioners took their seats at ten o'clock, and
Dr. LUSHLNGTON, in reading the report made by them to the
Bishop of London, said they had reported that the Act of
Parliament had been conformed with, and that fifteen wit-
nesses had been heard in support of the charges, and counsel
for the Rev. Mr. Monckton had also been heard, and fifteen
witnesses examined for the defence ; and as to the charges
contained in the complaint made against theßev. Mr. Monck-
ton, they had reported thus :—First, as to the charge of for-
nication with the women in the house—we do not find suffi-
cient evidence to warrant us in recommending any further
proceeding on that charge. Secondly, as to the charge of
intoxication—we do not recommend any proceeding; on the
contrary, we are of opinion there is no prima facie case to
support that charge. Thirdly, as to the conduct of the Rev. Mr.
Monckton, in his mode of living and his conduct with the women
in his house, especially with Sarah Huggins—we think there
is sufficient ground for, and have recommended further pro-
ceedings, being of opinion that the conduct of the Rev. 'Mr.
Metrickton is unbecoming that of a clergyman, and calculated
to bring scandal upon the Church.
Mr. WARREN then rose and said, as counsel for the Hon.
and Rev. Mr. Monckton, he begged sincerely to thank the
Court for the dignity, patience, and impartiality which it
manifested during this painful inquiry.
Mr. Monckton was in Court, and in his gown, and sat by
his counsel while the report was read.

COPPER MINERS Off ENGLAND.
(THIS DAY.)
The annual Court of the Governor and Company of Copper
Miners in England, established by royal charter in the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, was held this day at the Company's
offices, in Old Broad-street, City; Mr. James Alston, Go-
vernor of the Company, in the chair.
The minutes of the lastmeeting having been read over and
confirmed,
The GOVERNOR read a speech which had been prepared by
the Board of Directors, and from which it appeared that the
operations of the Company since the last year had p
ti rocee
to ide is
d
in a manner well calculated to afford great saon
Proprietary. The coal trade had not
in only recovered from
its late depressed state, but was a most healthy
condition, and by the proosed reduction of the
p
duty which had hitherto been imposed, its commodity was
likely to still further increase in consumption. The tin-
plate trade had derived a considerable impulse, occasioned no
doubt by the great advance which had taken place in the
consumption of iron. The Company had not yet reached its
maximum "make" of a thousand boxes, but every day
brought them nearer to that point. With reference to the
iron trade, the Company were happy to state that the expec-
tations held out to the Proprietary at their last meeting
were in the course of actual fulfilment, and the
Company were now enabled to produce a vast
quantity of this material to great advantage. The Board
cotgd no; allow -that oppottluuty to escape without corp.
