The tottering state of the Hotel of the British Em.

fashionables now resident in that capital. Lord GrAwrin.is tat

Lady &mama Sweat presided with so much attraction. It is
supposed the necessary repairs will not he completed before the n-
oting winter, and then it is said the Hotel is to be opened with un-
precedented magnificence*
Saturday evening, Earl WA LslscHAN,teturning from
Cavendish-square to bis residence in Upper Harley-street, wa. at-
tacked by a young faotpad at the end of Nlansfisld Mews in Har-
ley-street, who rushed out of the Mews, and against the liar], with
suck violence, as to stagger him several paces ; the thief at the mo-
ment seised the Earl's watch-chain, and endeavoured to abstract
the watch from the fob; but the chain snapped in the middle,
leaving in the fellow's possession half a gold chain and five valuable
seals, with which he fled up the Mews, and was almost out of right
before his Lordship had time to recover from the attack.
We stated on Saturday,that Mr.Rornscismo had en-
tered into a contract with our Government for the
Welsh Mines. This Gentleman, jointly with some
Noblemen of high rank, has obtained a grant of those
lands in North Wales which were formerly the pro-
perty of Sir HUGH MIDDLETON, but afterwards re-
vetted to the Crown. These lands, although they
have not been worked for a very long period, ate
well known to contain ore of various metals in
great abundance. It is therefore proposed, under the
superintendence of Mr. ROTHSCIIILD and the N.lb!em n
above alluded to,to fin m aCompany and to raise an ade-
quate capital foe the purpose of working this valuab,e
district. The public advantages of this great under-
taking, in forming a most just and useful medium for
the investment of English capital, as well as in fur-
nishing emploment to an almost indefinite extent
to the labouring poor in Wale., need not be dwelt on.
It is not surprising that this splendid undertaking, is
this era of schemes of every description, should have
raised peculiar expectations in the City, an l it is material,
therefore, that it should not be confounded with other on.
dettakings, which might be supposed from their title to
arise out (.f it. This has been the case with the Weld'
Mining Association, which has been mistaken for
that in which Mr. ROTHSCHILD is concerned. It is pro-
per, therefore, to state, for the information of capi-
talists, that no Company has yet been formed in consc-
quence of the grant to Mr. R OTHICH I LD, nor have any
of the preliminary arrangements for that purpose been
made. Nothing, in fact, has yet been done beyond the
completion of the grant from Gcvernment ; but in
few days the Report of the Engineers and Mineralogs3
sent down to inspect We mines, will be published.
