MINING COMPANY OF IRELAND.
At a Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Mining
Company of Ireland, on the 16th October instant, the
following Resolutions were entered on the minutes of

their proceedings :
That the line of Railway from Nenagh, by Thurles
Killenaule, and Fethard, to Clonmel, passing close by
the extensive and productive Coal Fields in the Barony
of Slievardagh, in the county of Tipperary, will afford
great facilities for the cheap transit of the Coals and
Culm, now so generally used for agricultural as well as
domestic purposes, to a large and extensive district of
the South of Ireland.

—„
Resolved therefore,—That this Company will give the
project its best and warmest support, and that a Petition
in favour of the proposed line be prepared, to be signed
by the Chairman and Secretary, on behalf of this Com-
pany, and presented at the proper time to the Imperial
Parliament.

RICHARD PURDY, Secretary,
Mining Company of Ireland.

IRISH COALS

The Resolution of the Irish Mining Company, which we
publish elsewhere, receives additional importance at the
present moment, from the grievances under which the
people of Dublin labour. The Company—the most flou-
rishing that has ever been established in Ireland, has
resolved upon supporting sedulously the projected Rail-
way—the Central Tipperary Line—connecting nudes,
Clonmel, Carrick-on-Suir, and Nenagb, and the grounds
of their Resolution is, that that Railway will facilitate the
transit to Dublin of the produce of the great Slievardagh
Colliery, which the Mining Company have recently com-
menced to work. It is said that the coals raised in those
mines are perfectly suited for household purposes, and
when we have facilities of transit open through the coun-
try, we may expect to see the day, and at no distant pe-
riod, when we shall not be left fora supply of fuel entirely
at the mercy of a combination. Thus it is that Railways
and Mines will mutually support each other, and that
both may be expected to work for the advantage of the
people.--Freeman's Journal.

IRISH COAL MINES

For three or four years past there hes been a vast in-
crease in the consumption of native Coals, and some addi-
tional Mines have been opened, within a month or two,
by the Mining Company of Ireland—one in the County of
Cork, and another in Tipperary. In the latter County,
that enterprising Company have been; for a considerable
time, working the rich Slieverdagh Collieries with great
success, and latterly the demand has so much increased
that the Coals have been drawn off as rapidly as they could
be raised. The Coals in this extensive field are, it appears,
of a much better quality than have been usually found in
Ireland, containing much less of sulphur, and being ad-
mirably suited for the kitchen, as well as for agricultural
purposes. As their value has become known, there has
been a growing demand from a wide district of country,
extending as far as Limerick, Clonmel, Cashel, Tippera-
ry, and Thurles. _

We observe, by Resolutions adopted at a Meeting of
the Directors of the Mining Compaay of Ireland, yes-
terday, that they have determined to give the zealous
support of the Company to a new Line of Railway—the
Thurles, Clonmel, or Carrick-on-Sun. and Nenagh Cen-
tral Tipperary Railway—on the ground that "itis to pass
close by the extensive and productive coal-fields in the
Barony of Slievardagh, County of Tipperary, and thus
afford great facilities for the cheap transit for the Coals
and Culm, now so generally used for agricultural as well
as domestic purposes, to a large and extensive district of
the South of Ireland.
At present, the cost of transit from the Slievardagh
Collieries to Limerick is, we understand, nearly £1 per
ton, and so in proportion to towns less distant. By Rail-
way, the cost would not be more than a fourth or fifth( of
the present rate. The result would be, a great saving and
accommodation to the public, and a vast increase of con-
consumption, as the Mining Comprny would, of course.
employ the requisite amount of labour in raising the
Coals. Scientific persons, acquainted with the subject,
are, we arc told, of opinion that the Coals of this mine
would be suitable for the supply of locomotive engines,
and if this should prove correct, a new source of wealth
would be found in our own soil. The Central Tipperary
Railway is to join the Waterford and Limerick, and by
this means the facilities for transmission would extend to
several counties of Munster.—Mercantile Advertiser.
