REPUBLIC.
In what degree our liberties would be increased should the
House of Commons eventually succeed in,dsurping the whole
Executive Power, we may judge from th arbitrary manner in
which they have exercised that shay it which they have
gained by encroachments on the R 1 Prerogatives. " Po.
pular assemblies, as by, their very n mher they are in a great
measure exempt from restraint of shame, so when they also
overleap the bounds of law naturally break out into acts of the
greatest tyranny and injustice."—Page 59.

CASHIER OR PIIISER AT THE MINES,
P. V YVYAN ROBINSON, Esq., of Nansloe, Helston,
Cornwall.
riIHESE Mines are situated at,Torleaven, in the immediate
vicinity of Porthleaven Harbour, in the parish of Sithney,
Mount's Bay, Cornwall.
It may be asserted without hesitation that these Mines will
prove as abundant and profitable for Silver-Lead and Copper,
as any in the West of England; being upwards of 1000 fathoms
in length on the course of the Lodes, and 470 fathoms in breadth,
with twelve shafts ready for working, one of which is 60 fathoms
in depth below the adit level.
The Lodes which they. contain, having been satisfactorily
traced, are of the largest size, and of the most productive cha-
racter. _ . _

Tbe Penrose Lode is said by Borlace, in his Natural His-
tory of Cornwall, published in 1758, page 210, to have been
wrought upwards of 200 Years, 'and. as late is 1830, When the
work was suspended on account of the low' price of Lead (£8
per ton. of 25 cwt.) and the'heavy-Dues, (one-twelfth paid to the
Lord of the Manor) the vein of Lead produced, in many in-
stances, as much as 11 Tons oTOre per fathein, leaVing at the
bottom of the Shaft a very rich course of Lead Ores for future
workings. The price of Lead is now £lB'2s. 6d. per Ton of 20
cwt., and the assay of Ore Tram theSe Mines is from 30 to 50
Ounces of Silver in the Toth The Wheal Public and Trewor-
vas COpper Lodes which &averse these Mines, 'greatly enhance
their value ; the latter Lode,- Treworvas, is now realising a
large profit, at a short distanCe from the British Silver Lead
Mines.
_ _

There is a large Quantity of whole'Ground above the 60 Fa-
thoms. Level, which can be immediately opened with great
Fa-
cility and Profit.

vember last, paying to the'Lord' of the Manor, the Rev. Canon
Rogers, one twenty-fourth' Dies, till such lime as the outlay
for costs he repaidlo. the Company by the sale of produce, and
then one twentieth permanenfly, 'free of all Parochial and other
Rates and Local Taxes: a.' few InCloSures on the Estate are
held for a similar Term from Mr. Jainei, at 'one-fifteenth Net
