WEST ST. AUBYN is situated in the Parish of Crowan,
in County of Cornwall, and is held on a Term, of which
twenty years are unexpired. It is in the midst of an immensely
rich Mining District, being in the vicinity of Binnar Downs,
Relistian, Copper Bottom, Wheal Vor and Great Work, Poi-
crebow, Cain Brea Mines, and many others too numerous to
mention. Yet notwithstanding sucliadvantages, the Proprie-
tors are desirous that WEsi ST. AtStYN be valued only by its
can present worth and apparent prospects, whieh,if not sur-
passing, are considered at least equal to those of any Mine in
theiCounty of Cornwall, however rich, at the same depth. But,
without further remark respecting the value of Mine, Capitalists,
especially those who may not have the means of inspecting her,
or of getting it done for -them, are respectfully referred to the
annexed Letters, from well known experienced Mining Agents,
who have not the least interest in the Mine in any way, men of
high character and acknowledged integrity—Captains Alexan-
der Teague, Nicholas Langdon, James Smithy, and James
Prout, agreeably to whose recommendation the sinking of the
new Shaft, so as to cut the Great Tin Lode 15 fathoms under
the present level, is already begun, and in course of prosecution.
Although the nominal Capital of the Mine is £6,000, yet it is
confidently expected that not one quarter of that sum will be
expended (except for materials) before the Mine will be yield-
ing immense profits ; and therefore it is hoped that no call will
be made after the Deposit of ss. per share, except fur the pur-
chase of materials, especially a Steam Engine to draw the water
from the Mine, and to stamp the Ores, of which considerable
quanti!i.!s might be raised even from its present shallow level, so
.as to give immediate profit to the Proprietors, if there were a
Steam-stamps erected for crushing the Ores, as may be seen
from the annexed Letters.

To meet the supposed expense of the Mine, and secure a fund
for the erection of a Steam Engine, and the purchase of the
necessary materials, it has been determined that a Capital of
1:6,000 be raised, in 6,000 shares of El each; towards which a
deposit of ss. per share has been paid, and a further instalment
of ss. per share is to be paid on the 21 of January, 1837 ; before
which time, it is supposed, the Great Tin Lode will be cut at the
twenty fathom level, and, therefore, the erection of a Steam-
stamps is necessary, in order to facilitate the making of returns.
But no further call is to be made until authorised by a Special
General Meeting of the Shareholders to be convened fur that
purpose one month's notice of which to be given in two Cor-
nish, two London, and two Liverpool newspapers, viz. :—The
Mining Journal, The Watchman, The West Briton, The Cornwall
Gazette, and the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, and Journal.
The next General Meeting of the Shareholders to take place
some time in December (notice of which will be given in the
above newspapers), unless sooner called for by some unforseeu
exigence, of by a majority of the Shareholders; when the ac-
counts shall be inspected, and when,if required by the meeting,
two or more Directors shall be elected, who i❑ conjunction with
the Managing Agent, shall have the conducting of the opera-
tion of the Mine.

All accounts to be made up monthly, and open for the in-
spection of every Shareholder.
Application for Shares to be made (if by letter, post paid) to
Mr. RICHARD STEPHENS, Penrvn; to Mr. ANTHONY STE-
rHsNs, Penryn •' 'and to Mr. C. J. \NT us-rLizy, Broker and Ge-

Since the publication of the original Prospectus, the Mine
has been examined by the under-mentioned parties (referred to
above); and from their highly favourable report the shares are
now at a premium of two pounds. A few hundred shares are
now offered to the Public, and as it is confidently expected that
the next report will occasion a large addition to the premium,
an early application will be necessary to secure them. The
addresses of the Examiners are attached to the Letters, that
persons wishing for more extended information may refer to
them; upon enquiry being made in the neighbourhood, they
will be found men of long experience and known integrity, and
that the prospects held out to the Public are much more limited
.than the present appearances would justify.

Richard Stephens, Esq.
West St. Aubyn, 30th June, 18.36.
Sir,---Agreeably to your request, we whose names are here-
unto subjoined, have this day inspected West St. Aubyn Mine,
and now send you Ou” joint opinion of present appearance,
and the manner in which we recommend your future method
of working the said Mine, so as to explore as much of the Lode
as can be on the least expensive scale. We conceive the Sett
to be a valuable one, having, we believe, upwards of 500 fa-
thoms in length, on the course of the large rin Lode; which
Lode is worthy of notice, its component parts being such as
indicate its bein!, a Tin Lode of such strength as not to be in-
jured by any chanite of Strata that may take place in depth.
Ve were not a little suprised to find at the present working
shaft, whioh is only about live fathoms deep, a Lode varying
train three to four feet over, or in breadth, un the course of
which about sixteen fathoms have been driven at the bottom of
the said shaft, on the average worth about I:7 10s. per fathom.
We do not 'recollect ever seeing a Tin Lode so regular in size,
and making on the north and south walls so regular at only five
fathoms from the surface. Its underlay, about live feet in the
fathom, we consider a good underlay.
We agree in the opinion, that you should at once increase
your number of workmen, by putting nine men to sink a new
b haft, south of the. present shaft, so as to take the Lode at twenty
fathoms deep, the said shaft to be eight feet long by five, feet
wide, so as to have room for drawing the water by Whim Barrels,
and drawing stuff at the same time if neeessaiy, and also for a
footway. We strongly recommend your doing this without loss
of time, as the summer season is the best time for accomplish-
ing such an object. If you are fortunate enough to cut the
Lode in this new shaft (as we have every reason to 'expect) pros-
perouswe then would say, erect a Steam Engine for draining
the said Mine, and for stamping or -crushing the Tin stuff, by
doing which you will save in carriage to water-stamps, :stc. a
very considerable Soot. We also shouid not omit saying, that
the inclination of the surface to the West of the said shaft is
favourable fur Metal; this we have obServed, in the course of
our practice as Mine Agents, iu souse of the most extensive
Mines in this County.
We are, Sir,'your most obedient Servants,

•Agnes,
Richard Stephens, L's.,. St. Bth July. 1833,
Sir,-1 have your favour of the 4th instant. limy labours,
by inspecting your Mine at any time., will promote your interest,
1 shill do it with the greatest of pleasure. •
1 have been a practical -miner for' upwards of forty y6ars, and
1 never was so pleasantly disappointed by inspecting alihallew
Mine in ill my life as 1 was•at theprospectsof West St. Auhyn
Tin Mine, iu the Parish of Crowan ; neither have" ever wit-
nessed such Strut-1;4.1,u, Lode, and so pi oductive for Tin, at the
depth of five fathotns'below the surface, as West St. Auliyii,
If there were a Stoani-stainips erected on the Mine, you might
aeturn large quantihes a Tin, even in this infant state of the
Mine. Awi. I think the Lode, when it is explored down in
sewed ground, will be found more productive, and the 'Fin,
that is Way scattered throughout the Lode, will be. collected into
-e,settled leader, and produce more Tin in a less quantity of
work.

I never saw the large Copper Lode that you say is about one
hundred f ktivims to the north or the great Tin Lode.
West St. Aubyn Mine appears to me to be in a good mining
distrtet ; and I would recommend you to 'open costeen pits on
the back of the great Copper Lode,,and every other Lode in the
sett. It is riot an uncommon thing to finiTin-backs on ppper
Lodes, therefore I think you may expect, rstasonably, to find
Tin on the backs of all the Lodes in St. Aubyn Mine.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) JAMES PROUT.

DEAR Stu.—l am in receipt of your favour, and in reply beg
In say. that I never saw a Lode at the present depth so kindly;

FRID,4r MORNING, SEPTEMBER 23, 1536.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday inclu-
sive, but their contents do not -add materially to the
information we furnished on Tuesday on continental
affairs generally.
The La Pais states that on Saturday forenoon another de-
spatch was sent off to Marshal Molitor at Compeigne, at the
camp of which he had, only a few days previously, tendered to
the prince royal a respectful but decided refusal of acceptance
of the Porte feuille. There must be something " rotten in the
state" of la jeune France when the post of honor is thus refused
by its most chivalrous soldiers. Well, nous r•errons la suite, as
Napoleon said at Marengo. In truth the greatest object of a
French soldier's ambition is now going " a begging ;" for such
is literally the case. In other times the hands of ten thousand
Frenchmen would have been held up; as it is the ministry is still
incomplete. Even General Guillennnot had left for Conipeigne
after, with General Delort, tendering a formal refusal; and, as
the marshal had been again sent to, it is supposed that Bernard
had declined also. M. Lalana Mobaing had been appointed
ambassador to Madrid, a successor not yet being fixed upon for
Belgium. M. Martini de Nord had been attacked with enterites,
(an inflammatory affection of the intestines,) which it was even
fearful might prove fatal, and he was only accessible to the
Count Muhl and his physicians. The whole of the journals
nearly are occupied in discussing the merits of the quadruple
treaty, and especially the question—'' Had France acted as an
honourable party thereto?" On this discussion we found our
leading article of this day. No news of the events at Lisbon
appears to have reached Paris.
The latest intelligence from Madrid is to the 11th. The
vague rumours gave out that the Spanish ministry had been
formed, composed of Calatrava, Mendizabal, Lopez, Olozaza,
De la Cuadra, and General Rodil. The emigratio❑ from the
capital was most extensive.

We must not permit the recent proceedings of our liberal
Town-counzil to pass without remark, or we shall incur the
censure of a certain contemporary print, for delaying our anim-
adversions until the interest of the public in the subjects agi-
tated at the Town-hall has subsided. We triter the mere cheer-
fully upon the task of reviewing the extraordinary measures of
our muntcipal representativei from the consciousness that the
election is approaching, when these malignant advocates of the
voluntary principle will have to appeal to the suffrages of their
constituents, from whom, we have no doubt, they will receive
that indignant negative which their tyrannous and irrational
conduct so richly deserves. But, considering all things—re-
flecting upon the just indignation, the absolute disgust, which
their proceedings have excited—viewing the silent but triumph-
ant progress of the reaction which is taking place in the town—
and calling to mind the many unfulfilled pledges, upon the
faith of which they obtained admission into the Council-cham-
ber—we really feel rather sceptical as to their courage, or, we
should say, their tgmerity, in appearing again before the elec-
tors, to claim a renewal of their confidence. There is no
knowing, however, to what mad extremes the infatuated beings
may be driven, in their morbid craving after popularity. If
they should venture to propose themselves as candidates for the
future, we can promise them one thing—they shall obtain
notoriety enough to satisfy their most ardent longings; but it
shall be the notoriety of men receiving, in the unenviable ele-
vation of the pillory, the merited execrations of their indignant
townsmen, whose opinions they have despised, whose persons
they have
.insulted, and whose rights they have outrageously
violated.

It appears that the Bye-Law Committee have framed certain
measures for the suppression of all nuisances in the town. We
shall be curious to know what these bye-laws are; and we pro-
mise our readers, that, if they bear any resemblance to the
stolid instructions furnished, some time ago, to the police, we
shall have great pleasure in affording the wiseacres who may
have concocted them the benefit of our criticism. Of one thing,
however, we shall be greatly surprised: we shall feel asto-
nished if the churches are not enumerated among the most
conspicuous of our local nuisances. The actions of the town
council, ever since their 4u/cession to office, have indicated this
persuasion. In the first place we find them endeavouring to set
aside the act for the endowment of the clergy; and, being foiled
in this their primary attempt against the establishment, we next
find them engaged in the laudable euterprize of superseding the
ministers of the established church in the management of the
corporation schools, for the purpose of making these institutions
nurseries of popery and socinianism. Here, again, they were
miserably disappointed. The sympathy of a christian public
with their accredited ministers frustrated their 'Nefarious designs.
This did not tend to diminish their rancorous hatred towards
thechurch, but rather to increase it. They have been, however, at
a loss for some time how to gratify the malignant antipathy which
they entertain against protestantism. Th ey have been, for a
lung time, prowling about for fresh victims. Their attack upon
the clergy has proved innocuous; their vindictive proceedings
in reference to the schools have been laughed to scorn ; their
violent, rhapsodical, and Quiloiic tirades against the Bible have
only served to cover them with,confusion ; then what are they to
do to signalise their attachment to the voluntary principle, and
. their uuiuitigated hostility to the church of England? Whom
do they next pounce upon as the victims of their unconquerable
propensity for spoliation ? Against whom do they now carry
'on their destructive warfare? Listen, gentle reader, and vie will
inform you of the formidable antagonists against whom the re-
doubtable heroes of the council chamber have, at length, taken
the field. They are—not the bishops, the deans, the rectors,
the vicars, or other dignitaries of the church; no, but the organ-
blowers, the sextons, the old women who open the pews, the
organs, and the music books ! But we must be serious. Our
councillors will soon have to render a vety serious account of
their doings; and our townsmen will also handle their preten-
sions with seriousness at no distant period.
Passing by the elegant phraseology of Mr. Thomas Bolton,
in which he characterises the clergy as "certain functionaries,"
whose exclusive privileges he bowed to, only because the law
rendered obligatory his acquiescence, we come at once to his
undisguised attack upon the church, upon which hateful object
he poured forth his concentrated venom. 11e makes it pear
that.all the payments which have been made from the year 1552
to the different subordinate officers attached to our churches
have been illegal. Think of that, people of Liverpool! Your
former corporate authorities, in defraying the expenses of your
clerks, sextons, organists, &c., have been guilty of a serious in-
fringement of the law. What law ? Nay, we cannot tell.
It is quite consistent in Mr. Bolton, whose religious tenets
consist in a bastard kind of philosophy, divested of every super-
' natural sanction, and stripped of every scriptural attribute—to
view the question of attendance upon public worship as a
"mercantile question " But we are convinced that the en-
lightened protestant community of our good old town will view
the subject under a totally different aspect. They consider the
service of God in the temples of christian worship as an act of
religious solemnity. They learn with disgust that this gentle-
man has flippantly treated the matter as a mere question of pro-
fit and loss.. They take their bibles, and not their ledgers, as
their guides in reference to the absorbing topic of religion. in
comparing the expenditure incurred in providing church ac-
commodation fur the iubabitauts of Liverpool,. with the receipts
derived from the different churches, the people of Liverpool take
into consideration the large provision made for the attendance of
