PANY.-The eagerly expected prospectus has at
last appeared Of the "Grand United Gold and
Diamond Dust Company" The act is already
in existence-the insOlVent act-to limit the lat
bility Of the shareholders. ....t. f-
To show the confidence felt in the undertaking
on the spot, it is respectfully announced that ff
ty thousand shares are reserved for the locality
where the dust exists, or, in in other words, for
the dust hole. "I
This company is formed. for the purpose of
working the rich deposits supposed to be mbed-
ed in the various banks of an extensive river in
the Brazis, the tide of which is supposed to
lead on to fortune.
They hope, by getting into the right current
to be able to stir up the sources ofwealth alluded
to, when they may anticipate that the numer-
ous s'hats" on all sides will yield an abundance
of the precious ore they are in search Of. Should
these means ofpro6t become exhausted the di-
rectors have the satisfaction of feeling that the
adjacent plantation will enable them to take ad-
vantage of the numerous plants aud thus, the
gold being used up, they can cut their sticks
Immediately. . ........ ....s .,vrg-
1t is proposed by the directors to take further
powers for pocket smelling, aud otherwise redu-
cling the quantities of auriferous matters that
remain uuappropriated, on account Of the man
ner in which the process Of extracting gold from
any place in which it exists, has been hitherto
carried on.
Notwithstanding the numerous arts that have
been employed, the directors hatter themselves
that they are in possession Of machinery by
which gold can be squeezed outfrom'' ''quarters"
where it has, until now, remained SO tightly
held ns to have been regarded as utterly unat-
tainable. The process is one Of refinement, but
it would be obviously imPrudent to say more on
thispoint In public advertisement.
The directors hope that enough money for
their purpose will be obtained at once, and they
anticipate no further calls, but the subscribers
will have the right of fmaking as many calls as
they please-fOr the recovery of their money
at the office Of the company. should the under
taking be remuneratve to the shareholders. ''i
Applications for shares, in the usual form,
may be made forthwith to the secretary pro tenn,
who will be happy to throw samples of the dust
immediately into the eye Ofany applicant. 10
RELIGIOUS ToLBRATI0N.-The is not
truth to be gathered, from history more
certain, or more momcntous, than this; that
civil liberty cannot long be separated from
religious liberty without danger, and ulti-
mate1y without destruction 70 both Where's
ever religious liberty exists, it will, first or
last, bring in and establish political liberty.
Wherever it is suppressed, the church estab-
lishment will, first or last, become the engine
of despotsm, and overthrow, unless it be
itself overthrown,1 every -Vestige Of political
right. How is it possible to imagine that
religion breathing the spirit Of mercy aud
benevolence, teaching the forgiveness Of in
juries, the exercise ofcharity, and the return
of good for evil; how is it possible, | say'for
such religion to be so perverted as to
breathe the spirit of slaughter and persons
ton, of discord and vengeance, for differen>
ces Of opinion, is most anaccountable and
extraordinary phenomenon. Still more exi
traordinary, that it should be the doctuue,
not of base and wicked men merely, seeking
to cover up their own misdeeds, but of good
men, seeking the. way of salvation with up
rightness Of heart and purpose, It affords
a melancholy proof of the intirmity of human
judgement, and teaches lesson ofshumility
from which spiritual pride may learn meek
ness, and spiritual zeal amoderating wisdom.
