KENT RAILWAY COMPANY.

rirtHE Directors of the Kent Railway Company, to prevent
I- any misconception, beg to inform the Subscribers that the
whale of the proposed line has been surveyed by Mr. Walker,
their engineer, who is ti,:w engaged in completing the field
surveys. and that in about ten days the solicitors will cmumence
their application to the proprietors of the land through which
the line is 'intended to pass.
The line fixed upon by Mr. Walker, is extremely desirable in.
every point of view, at once beneficial to the public by the ac-
commodation which it affords to an immense population, in-
flicting no injury upon any ornamental property, and promising
to the subscribers an ample return for the money invested in the
enterprise.
The shares of the late Gravesend and Dover Companies con-
tinue to be exchanged for those of the Kent Railway Company,
at the offices of the latter, between the hours of 11 and 3 daily.
By order of the Board.

vVrEsT ST. AUI3YN is situated in the Parish of Crowan,
in County of Cornwall, and is held on 'Perm, of which
twenty years are unexpired: It is in the midst of an immensely
rich Milling District, being in the vicinity of, Binnar DawnS,,
lielistian, Copper Bottotn,'Wheal Vor turd G W .Great ork, Pol-
crebow, Cara Brea Mines, and many others ton numerous to
mention. ,Yet notwithstanding such advantages, the Proprie-
tors are desirous that WEST .ST:AVIIYN be valued only by its.
own present worth and apparent prospects, which, if not sur-
passing, are considered at least equal to those of, any Mine in
the County of Cornwall, however rch, 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 nol the least interest in the Mine in any way, men of
high character and acknowledged integrity—Captains Alexan-
der Teague, Nicholas Laugdon, James "Southy, 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 for the pur-
chase of materials, especially a Steam Engine to draw the water
from the Mine, and. to stamp the Ores, of which considerable
quantities might be raised even from its present shall.w 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
£6,00) be raised, in 6,(E0 shares of £1 each ; towards which a
deposit of ss. per share has been naid, and a further instalment
of ss. per share is to be paid on the 2l 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 for 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 Ltviiaroot, 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 unforseen
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 in conjunction with
the Managing Agent, shall have the conducting of the opera-
tion' of the Mine.

MI 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-
PHENS, Penrvn; and to Mr. C.. 1. \VEsTLEY, Broker and Ge-

Since the publica4v of the original Prospectus, the Mine
.examined by the undc,muntsnined parties (referred to
above), an u tro-nr-tirei, orgoty ravourame
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.

Vest St. Aubyn, 30th June, 1836.
Sir,—Agreeably to Ytlur request, we whose names are here-
unto subjoined, have this day inspected West St. Aubyn Mine,
and now send you our 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 being a Tin Lode of such strength as not to be in-
jured by any change of Strata that may take place in depth.
We were not a little suprised to find at the present working
shaft, which is only about five fathoms deep, a Lode varying
from three to four feet over, or in breadth, on the course of
which about sixteen fathoms have been driven at the bottom of
the said shaft, on the;' average worth about £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 five 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
shaft, 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 draping the water by Whim Barrels,
and drawing stuff at the same time if necessary, 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-
perous, we then would s.iy, 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, &c. a
very considerable sum. We also should not omit saying, that
the inclination of the surface to the west of the said shaft is
favourable for Metal; this we have observed, in the course of
our practice as Mine Agents, iu some of the most extensive
Mines in this County.
We are, Sir, your most obedient Servants,

Richard Stephens, Esq. St. Agnes, Bth July. 1836.
Sir,—l have your favour of the 4th instant. If my labours,
by inspecting your-Mine at any time, will promote your interest,
I shall do it with the greatest of pleasure.
I have been a practical miner for upwards of forty years, and
I never was so pleasantly disappointed by inspecting a shallow
Mine in all my life as I was at the prospects of West St. Aubyn
Tin Mitie, in the Parish of Crowan;_ neither have I
.ever wit-
nessed such strong large Lode, and so productive for Tin, at the
depth of five fathoms below the surface, as West St. Aubyn.
If there were a Steam-stamps erected ou the Mine, you might
return large quantities of Tin, even in this infant state of the
Mine. And I think the Lode, when it is explored down iu
settled ground, will be found more productive, and the Tin,
that is now scattered throughout the Lode, will be collected into
a settled leader,
and produce more Tin in a less quantity of
work.

I never saw the large Copper Lode that von say is about one
hundred fathoms to the north of the great 'fin Lode.
n Mine appears to me to be in a good mining
\edistrictVst v SantlAhlu‘v3o.uld recommend you to open costeen pits on
the back of the great Copper Lode, and every other Lode in the
sett. It is not an uncommon thing to find Tin-backs on Copper
Lodes, therefore I think von may expect, reasonably, to find
Tin on the backs of all the Lodes in St. Aubyn Mine.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) JAMES PROUT.

'Wheal Kitty, July 7th, 183fi.
DEAR SIR,—I am in receipt of your favour, anil in reply beg
to say, that I never saw a Lode at the present depth so kindl
and likely to be so productive, as that of West St. Aubyn
Still I would advise you to see the Lode at a sleeper level before

the 2(3-fathom level; fer I never saw such a large, strong, pro-
mising, and so productive a Lode at the depth of five fathoms
below the surface, in all the .course of my mining, (which is
nearly forty years.) This Lode, which you call the West St.
Aubvn Great Tin Lode, is on an average three feet wide, car-
rying two regular ,walls, and will produce from seven to eight
pounds' worth of Tin per fathom, at the depth of five fathoms
only from the surface. From looking at the above-mentioned*
Lode, together with the chance of two or three other large pro-
mising Gozan Lodes in this sett, in my opinion West St. Aubyn
Mine is one of the most promising speculations thatl have seen
for many years.

TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4, M 6.

A general impression has prevailed since Friday that
the reported defeat of Gomez by the constitutional forces
will turn out to be a fabrication, to which currency has
been given for Stock Exchange purposes. If this should
prove to be the case, or if the particulars are unduly ex-
aggerated, it will reflect but little credit upon the mer-
cenary individuals who have been thus guilty of saeri-
fieing truth at the shrine of unhallowed speculation. A
few days, however, will put us in possession of authen-
ticated accounts from the seat of war. It is stated that,
in consequence of a general disbelief in the report which
reached Paris last week, the Spanish securities had there
suffered a considerable depreciation.

A reaction in public feeling appears to be about to take
place in Lisbon, from which city we have advices of the
25th. Strong remonstrances have been made against
the late movement by persons of weight, and we are in-
formed that M. Van de 'Weyer had suggested the pro-
priety of applying to England for assistance, on the
ground that every attempt to set aside the charter of Don
Pedro should be considered as a Miguelite movement.

The resent proceedings of the Improvement Committee
in our town council, in reference to the sale of the land in
John-street, on which the Globe Chambers are erected,
carry with them strong symptoms of jobbing. It is a very
difficult matter to understand the grounds upon which it
was decided that Mr. Rotherham was the " first offerer"
for the land. From a careful examination of the several
documents on the subject, which were submitted to the
notice of the council, we are led to believe that the
Tradesmen's Bank had a prior claim upon the committee
arising from the circumstance that they had acceded to
the terms proposed by the council before Mr. Rotherham
had intimated his readiness to close with them. There
seems to be a great deal of confusion introduced into the
discussion of the question in consequence of the anoma-
lous position occupied by Mr. Franklin, the surveyor.
If he was really authorised to treat definitely for the sale,
how does it come to pass that his agreement with Mr.
Parry is set aside so unceremoniously. There is a glar-
ing- discrepancy between the statements of these two
gentlemen ; one says that a bona fide sale was concluded,
subject to no contingency but the ratification of the
council ; the other as confidently affirms that no compact
was entered into for the land to the Tradesmen's Bank
directors. We think thatlVlr. Franklin's personal honour
is deeply involved in the matter as it has been left by the
council. But there is a further topic which requires
elucidation. It is currently reported that Mr. Rother-
ham's claim was cherished by the committee because
certain members were deeply interested in the success of
his application. How far this is true remains to be ex-
plained.
On the whole we cannot but express our belief that the
Tradesmen's Bank directors have been treated unfairly,
and that private interest has been suffered in some way
to warp the judgments of our immaculate town councillors.
A full examination of all the parties concerned in this
transaction is required, and ought to be imperatively
demanded.

We are glad to hear that the following distinguished
individuals have accepted the invitations of the Trades-
men's Conservative Association, and intend being pre-
sent at their approaching dinner:—Lord Sandon, the
Hon. C. J. Canning, M.P. for Warwick, and W. E.
Gladstone, Esq. M.P. for Newark. Answers have not yet
been received from several other eminent and noble con-
servative statesmen whose company on the occasion is
anticipated. There appears very little doubt that this
glorious gathering of the Liverpool tradesmen will rival
if not eclipse any recent display of constitutional feeling
which has been witnessed. At the monthly meeting,
held in the large room at the King's Arms, last evening,
the number of new members enrolled amounted to 115,
making a total of 1014 in the short space of eleven
months from the origin of the society ! The great ad-
dition which took place last night must be chiefly attri-
buted to the anxiety manifested to obtain tickets for the
dinner, to wbich the members have a prior claim in
making their applications. We are sorry that there is
not in Liverpool a room large enough to allow of a more
unlimited issue of tickets. We are positive that the
Amphitheatre will not acommodate a third of those who
would be glad to attend. The privilege of introducing
a lady,-as spectator, renders each ticket an object of more
than double the value. Wti believe it is the intention of

OCT. '4, 1836.

the Operative Conservative Association to have a se-
parate dinner, to obviate that disappointment which ."
would otherwise be inevitably felt.

Father Maguire is at length most unpleasantly fixed
between the horns of a dilemma. Between the unan-
swered challenge of Mr. M'Ghee, on one side, and the
repeated challenge of Mr. M'Neile, on the other, the
rev. gentleman must feel in a very uncomfortable posi -
tion. It is evident that it is now too late for him to at-
tempt retracing his steps—he is too fully committed by
his public appeals in this town to think of skulking from
the contest which he has himself provoked. What will
his besotted admirers say if he now grows sly, after the
braggart vaunts and magniloquent threats which he re-
cently indulged in ? If he is conscious of having a gooi
cause to defend, he need not make any display of his
modesty on such an emergency. We particularly re-
quest the attention of our readers to the important let-
ters which we publish in another column on this subject,.

Tim WATERFORD DINNER.—Mr. Henry Villiers
Stuart, of Dromana, M. P. for Waterford county, the
recently slime-flattered patriot of O'Connell's worthless
muse, descending from his " Corinthian capital," has
performed the drudgery of tolling an after dinner knell
of poetic prose malignity, abounding in fiery metaphor,
against the conservative leader of the House of Lords;
but the political funeral of John Singleton Copley, Baron
Lyndhurst, will not take place at the chaunting ipse dixit
of such short-sighted, justice-loving gentry, as the enve-
nomed choir of papists, so ably represented by the ran-
corous speech of Mr. Villiers Stuart, although supported
by a Barron ! That life is at this moment in the zenith
of its splendour, the full vigour of its truly gigantic
power, and fostered by the approving commendation of
all that is valuable, honourablr;, and independent within
the three kingdoms, (exempting of course, the rampant
bands of popish revolutionary demagogues, that infest
the soil of Ireland, and choke up, by their unhallowed
proceedings, the few remaining springs of her prosperity
and her hopes,) its possessor may look down upon them
from his lofty elevation, and proudly exclaim with
Horace—

" Falsus honor juvat et mendax infimia tercet,
Quern nisi mendosum et mendacem!"

Yes, indeed, the Corinthian patriotic worthies, who
vociferate " justice,".and shout " liberty," and who, at
the same instant, with their poisonous breath, condemn,
and would with callous effrontery, and the bigotted zeal
of depraved principle, trample under foot that sacred
Institution from which all liberty has arisen, are the na-
tural and moral "Aliens" to the soil of their birth—
" Aliens" to the true interests of their fellow-men—
" Aliens" to RELIGION, and " Aliens" to themselves,
worthy alike the satire of the classic poet, and the fitting
denunciation of him, who has had the virtue and the
manhood to stand forth and brand them—false mock-pa-
triots as they are, the imbecile tools of a knavish adven-
turer,—Aliens by becoming the obsequious slaves of a
designing tyrannous priesthood, on the one hand, and
the clinging fawning parasites on the other, of one who
has polluted the very name of freedom, by associating it
with the pestiferons exhalation, which exudes in all his
movements from his contaminating lungs, breathing a
moral pestilence around,—the arrogant pretender, who
presumes to lead the destinies of Ireland,—the rankest
ALIEN that ever infested a society of intelligent beings ;
but the theme of Mr. Stuart's muse ! From the acrirl
genius of this modern Pittacus, (what an insult to the
Lybian patriot is the association !) and his dangerous-
doctrines, have alone arisen that mental and moral alie-
nation—that separation of soul, character, sentiment, and
interest, which has placed unhappy Ireland in her pre-
sent degraded position. Yes, Mr. Villiers Stuart, giving
you the credit for a misled head rather than a corrupted
heart, we boldly repel your charge, and dispute your pre-
' raises. Under the scourge of your favourite leader,
whose patriotism we have had a fair opportunity of put-
ting to the test—by means of his restless agitation has
Ireland become depraved in political principle—conta-
minated in morals—and corrupted in religion—this we
undertake to prove, if not to your satisfaction, at least to-
the satisfaction of those around you, and, we trust, the
benefit of the English people, whose judgment you would
vainly endeavour to pervert and to confound, in the maze
of your own frenzied idolatry—your grasping of Utopian
perfection in government, under the gentle sway of your
Milesian chief ! We will cheerfully compare notes for
Lord Lyndhurst, with Mr. Villiers Stuart; and leave to
his Irish auditory, and to Sir Richard Keane, the patron
saint of the Waterford liberal dinner, the full benefit of
the polished sentences and flowery rhetoric sent forth, in
support of the great Pittacus of Derrynane ; and con-
tent ourselves with balancing the account in argument,
by iterating the just pretensions of that misnamed
Lybian prototype, as set forth by the Knight of
Dromana, in his woeful assault on the House of
Lords—his foil against the falsely-declared enemy of
Ireland. And now, Englishmen, hereditary freemen,
let us biographise the " modern Pittacus," that, whilst
yet lie lives, he may enable us to do further justice to
his virtues and his expiring fame, should we lack of duty
in our present representation.
We will begin with his career of manhood. Here is
a trading lawyer (without desiring to disparage the
honour of the profession at large) who pretends that,
being imbued with notions of freedom greatly above the
usual comprehension of his fellow men, he sacrifices the
honourable rewards of his vocation at its shrine, and
makes himself a voluntary martyr at the altar of his
" much-injured country;" by very cheerfully relinquish-
ing- a profession, yielding almost some four or five
thousand pounds a-year, lie sets up for a flaming agita-
tor, being previously deeply • impressed with original
prejudices against a protestant institution, long establish-
ed in Ireland, he scours the Roman catholic provinces of
that ill-fated country whose already ignorant priest-
ridden population already presents the very materials for
his refractory lever to work upon—the very means.for
creating a momentum of political strife, and, by abuse
of language and misrepresentation of facts, tortured to
answer his design, he turns this deluded and warm-
hearted, but credulous, population to his own crafty pur-
poses of deep-laid mercenary ambition ; he tells this ex-
pectant population that the nation which has over and
over again, by its freely-bestowed—its voluntary bounty,
relieved it from positive starvation, is a nation of
foreigners—aliens in country, in religion, and in blood
—a nation of sassenaghs and tyrants, whose impious •
sons, trampling on Ireland's soil, have " polluted her
Hearths," robbed her people of their lives, of their in-
heritance—their civil rights, and introduced an alien
creed of religion, with an illegal impost for its mainten
ance, for which they are unjustly called upon to pay--
that their landlords are their greatest tyrants, and that
legislative union with England was a i obbery of their
independence, and is an unnatural curse upon them—a
yoke they are bound to shake off; and a protestant estab-
lishment, for the support of which nineteen-twentieths
of them pay nothing, is the sole source of their poverty
and misery; and that, until that church is entirely up-
rooted, or its ascendancy put down, and the corporate
interests and tithes which support it abolished, their con*"
dition cannot be bettered ! For all this mock display or
patriotism its flaming propounder obtains credit at' We
hands of his deluded votaries; and, although hisfalse6
hoods are open to the most irrefragable refutation, lie
obtains a real compensation of some eighteen thousand
pounds per annum, wrung—extorted by all this desPi°'
ble artifice ; he is foisted into parliament, and, by the
aid of his biggoted priestly associates, he sells the Irish
boroughs to the highest bidders, obtains an unconstitu-
tional ascendancy in the government and over the com-
mons of the otherwise independent English nation-4n-
solently abuses every one who has sagacity to discover
his spoliation league—insults the peerage with treason:
able scurillity, and charges it with dishonourable and
irresponsible despotism, when, in the due execution
its high constitutional office, it resists the march 0f 1,i51,
combined infamy and revolutionary designs ! _1
