The Principality

CARDIGANSHIRE MINES. Some of the lead mines in Cardiganshire were,, as is well known, worked by Sir Hugh Middleton'during the latter half of the sixteenth century and the beginning of the seventeenth.. After his death they fell into the hands of Mr. Thomas Bushell, who worked them extensively, and kept a mint in operation at the silver mine in Cardiganshsre from the bullion produced. He is said to have clothed the army of King Charles the First from part of the profit, and during the civil wars sacrificed his fortune in the King's defence. Aberystwyth Castle was beseiged by the parlia- mentary forces and the mines were in coi isequence aban- doned. These particulars ore stated in an interesting paper by Mr. Robert Hunt, keeper of Mining Records to the Geolo- gical Survey of Great Britain, and published in the Memoirs of that Establishment, Vol. II. Part II., in which will be found the authorities whence the statements are derived. This paper is followed by another, by VYarington \Y Smyth, M.A., F.G.S., mining geologist to the survey. The mines extensively worked at the above-mentioned period were called Cwmsymiog. Gog-rum, and Darren Vawr, these three producing lead containing a larger proportion of silver than most others in the district. Manv attempts appear to have been made at different periods to renew operations in this part of Wales, but nothing (iicetive was done until the early part of the present century. Of the above three mines Goginan alone has been very pro-r I table for some yeai s past, while Cwmsymlog and Darren, after the expenditure of considerable s'ims, have not hitherto been sufficiently productive to encourage much further trial. Two cases have, however, very lately occured, which seem to confirm that part of their history which assigns their iibaudonnient to some sudtlen unlooked-for cause, such as is said to have taken place in Mr. Bushel's time. The first of these is at a mine now called East Darren, where trials have been made on one of the Cwmsymlog lodes, and now pur- suing into the old mine so called. Here, in clearing up some ancient workings, at the depth of only seven fathoms from the adit level, which, though crushed and choked in several parts, existed at the early periods referred to, a.lode was found, producing rich ore, in quantity to secure profit- able working, and it sc.emedlikely to extend under other ancient excavations. At this moderate depth, under an adit drainage could not be very difficult or expensive, even with the means then in use, ami we must refer the abandonment to some sudden cause, such as the catastrophy which is re- corded of Mr. Bushel's ruin. The second case lias very recently occurred at Cog,iiian. y 11 Here the main lode has been very extensively worked upon by the present adventurers with considerable profit for several years. The mine has now attained the depth of one hundred and twenty fathoms, and is furnished with all necessary machinery. Some' time since a branch, or, as it now appears to be, another lode, went off from the main lode in the direction Of E.N.TC. Near the junction it produced some ore, and a level at the depth of 26 fathoms from the surface was commenced on it; but the ore failed ai d the level was discontinued. Of late working in this level was renewed, and a course of ore discovered, in pursuing which it lately intersected some ancient workings, no kind of appearance or indication of which existed on the surface. These are now cleared through the length being only 5 fathoms, and good ore is found not only where the level entered these excavations, but at the other end and bottom of them. Situated as these workings are, on a hill, so that an adit of great depth might have been made, there being now one driven by the present adventurers 00 fathoms below the bottom of the old workings, it could hal dly be the difficulty of drainage which put an end to the pursuit of such a discovery, and we must again look for some extraordinary cause for its abandonment. The entire absence of traces of work on the surface tends to prove also that what was done there took place at a remote period.

THE LATE Sm ROBERT PEEL.—In London and through- out the country the spirit still prevails to do hononr to the memory of the departed statesman; committees continue to be organised for the advancement of the various testimo-- nials, and subcliptiolls pour in from all classes-the humblest vying with the most opulent in forwaiding their Z7, contributions. On the subject of the Working Man's Tes- I ee timonial," Mr. Hume has issued a circular recommending that persons desirous of promoting the penny subscription for its erection, should form in each parish, or district of parish, a local committee; who. should appoint one respect- able person to act a" chairman and treasurer, and another as secretary; that the committee should appoint receivers of subscriptions, and that printed forms should be conspieuosly placed on their premises; and no subscriptions paid except to persons thus authorised. A correspondent of the Man- chester Guardian tells the following anecdote respecticg the late Sir Robert:—Old Sir Robert was extremely solicitous in advancing his son in his tender years. To this end, he requested him to furnish the heads of the sermons he heard at Burv Church, upon arriving home from divine service. On one occasion, a stranger having to officiate, lie was in; vited-to partake of the hospitalities of Chamber Hall. As usual, the future statesman was called upon to go through his duty. When he had completed, his father turned to the minister and inquired whether be had given a próper ac- count. sir,' he replied, he has preached a much better sermon than ever I did in mv life.' THE LATE OCTIUGR "ON FREDERICK DOUGLASS.— Mr. Douglass has addressed the following letter to the Times, dated Rochester, June 2iJth Sir, Although I fear it be an unwarrantable intrusion upon your time and at- tention on my part, I must yield to the strong desire which moves me to'thank you, in the name of justice and humanity, for your timely remarks in the Tunes of June 11, on the subject of American slavery, and more especially for your aniiina'lversioiis OIl the brutal assault made upon me by a mob while I was quietly and inoffensively walking on the Battery at Now York. The influence ■exerted upon the more intel- ligent class of the American people by the judicious expres- ion of British sense of justice and humanity is immense, and, I believe, highly beneficial. The outrage committed upon me in New York was the work of low and vicious people. Yet, sir, you were perfectly right in taking that outrage, and the remarks made upon it the Globe, as a fair illustration of the bitter antipathy which is entertained here, even by the uetter class of white people, against coloured persons, Po- lished American gen tlemen would applaud a deed of ruffian- ism like the one in question, althongh they might shrink from the performance of the deed itself. My offence is alleged to be that walking down Broadway in company of two wnite women." This, however, is not a fair statement of the offence. Mv offence was, that I walked down Broadway, in company with white persons, on terms of equality, Had I been with those simply as a servant, and not as a friend, I should be regarded with complacency by the refined, and with respect by the vulgar class of white persons who throng t'1at neat thoroughfare. Tho clamour here about human equality is meaningless. We have here an aristocracy of skin, with which if a man be covered, and can keep out of the state prisons, lie possesses the high privilege of insult- ing a coloured man with the most perfect impunity. This class of aristocrats are never more displeased than when they meet with an intelligent coloured man. They recognise in him a c mtradiction to their ungenerous and unsound theo- ries respecting the negro race, and, not being able to icason him dow I to a level with the brute; they use brute force to knock him down to the desired level. I am, perhaps, ties- passing too long upon your time, and although it may be a s^iall matter to .you as to how I may feel with respect to "vour uoJfle defence of injured and insulted humanity, 1 .» iouid not be' sa'tified with myself without expressing, lu my humble way, mv sincerest gratitude for that defence. ery re pectfully yours, FREDERICK DOUGLASS."

STEAM-PACKET EXPLOSION AT BRISTOL, AND FEARFUL SACRIFICE OF LIFE. Bristol was on Monday night the scene of one of the most terrible calamities that has occurred in this country lor some time past—-the explosion of the boiler of one of ,the river steam-boats, by which a large number of persons were killed, and many others were so dreadfully mutilated and injured as to be in a state of great suffering and danger. Until recently the whole of the between the city and the Hotwells, whence the Irish, and other steam- packets start, was carried on by means of cars and omnibuses, and by hand-rowed wherries plyingaip and down the floating- harbour; but some months since a small steam boat was put on, and was speedily followed by others of larger dimen- sions. Amongst the first packets of this kind used was one called the Red Rover; she was an iron boat, brought by her owner from Waterford, where it is stated she had previously, had a great deal of use. She was capable of accommodating somewhere about sixty passengers, and since being put on the float, and up to the time of the melancholy and fatal Occident by which she was destroyed, plied regularly. At half past eight o'clock on Monday night she was lying off Hawlins's Wharf, Cumberland Basin, and taking oil board her passengers for the trip to the Stone-bridge at Bristol: some forty or fifty persons had got on board, and others were in the act of doing su, when, without anything haying previously occurred to excite the smallest apprehension,'Ivor- boiler suddenly exploded with such violence as to rend the vessel into pieces, hurling the fragmeiits. and some of her passengers into the air, and casting others into the water., A scene of the most terrible and heart-rending kind fol- lowed; the mutilated bodies of some of the unfortunate voyagers were cast with violence to the shore; others were seen in the act of drowning, struggling with the waters for life, while from the persons on the shore, many of whom had friends or connexions on board, the most piteous cries proceeded. A number of wherries were lying off the point, and ten or twelve of them put off with all possible speed, and succeeded in rescuing many persons who must other- wise certainly have swelled the list of the killed, which, as it is, must be a heavy one. Some idea of the violence of the explosion may be gathered ironv the fact, that a large piece of the vessel, weighing more than a hundred weigh t. was thrown on to the roof of a boat-shed some hundreds of feet distant from the spot where the vessel blew up, while smaller portions were scattered to much greater dis- tances. As soon as the passengers were got out of the water, such of them as were not dead were con veyed either to their homes or to the Bristol Infirm,ary, where they received every care and.attention; such as, had ceased to exist were laid on the wharf, awaiting to be recognised by their friends. Among the killed is the engineer of the boat, a man named William Nicholls; the captain, William Puddv, had his leg fractured, and the fireman, Davidbmis, was severely scalded. The owner and his wife were on board, but were not wounded, although the shock was so great to the nervous system of the wife that she is stated to have been ever since in a state of insensibility. Men are now em.ployed iu drag- ging the liver for the recovery of missing bodies.

NEW EXPEUIMENT IN AEUOSTATION.—On Monday evening the Vauxhall Gardens were densely crowded, in consequence of an announcement that Mr. Bell, a medical gentleman, would ascend from thence in a balloon of new construction; and carrying machinery capable of propelling it in any direction wished by the occupant of the car. At halt-past seven o'clock the machine was liberated from its fastenings, and it rose slowly to the altitude of about 1,000 feet. The rapid motion of the fans couid be distinctly perceived, and presented a very curious appearance. Their effect on the balloon was evident, as the machine was repeatedly turned, and slightly prop lied in various directions. It did not appear, however, that they succeeded in moving it against the wind. The fineness,.of the evening was such that the balloon remained in to-some time, apparently never ascendin.g to any considerable altitude. LOCOMOTIVES WITH ANTMAL-POWHR WITHIN TIE"f.-8inor Clemente Masserano, of JPignerol, Piedmont, has patented a new machine analogous to the American treadwheel coach, some time since described in The Builder. In the present instance the horses work on a platform, called a pedivella, inside the vehicle, and the power of their weight, as well as of their motion, is made use of by means of ropes communicating with the axle- trees of the leading wheels. It is alleged that a speed of even sixty miles an hour may be realised by means of the mechanism, without any increase in the rapidity of the motion of the horses, which is merely a walk, in which the animal does not actually advance beyond a single step, the platform retreating instead. A model •' linpulsoria," as it is called, has b.een brought to this country, and is at work, but at a much more moderate speed than the maximum boasted of on the South Weatcrn Railway It is thought that as feeders on branch lines, such vehicles might be both economical and useful.— The Builder. „ THE cheap postage system works well in America.

A DREADFUL fire broke out on the 15th inst. at Fontenay, near Versailles. The celebrated Horace Yernet, wearing his uniform as Colonel of the National 'iu-u'd, was on the spot at the head of his men. A BLOCK of gold-bearing quartz, weighing about 1251b., had been sent from California to the United States, as a contribu- ion towards the Washington monument. DEPARTURE OF TAB NEPAOJ.BSE EMBASSY. His excellency the ambsssador from Nepaul and his two brothers and suite will take their departure from this country in the course of the second week of next month. In consequence of the severe sickness the ambassador experienced in coming from Alexandria all the way j by sea, arrangements have been made for his return via Marseilles, so as to shorten the marine trip. The Lords of the Admiralty have directed the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean squadrt n to have the Growler steam frigate at Marseilles on the 1st of Sep- tember, in readiness to receive the distinguished travellers, and to Gonvey them to Alexandria. The French government will direct the arrangements tor their transit through France. THE HOUNSLOW POWI)EIL-MILT,S.-Oll Wedesday. evening week at about a quarter to six o'clock, another explosion took place at Mesi-rs. Curtis and Harvey's powder-mills, Hounslow-heath. The consternation excited was not allayed until it was ascertained 'that no person was killed or injured. During the latter part of the afternoon, the lightning was extremely vivid, and the men, women, and children—of whom there are nearly two hundred employed in this dangerous occupation—left their work much earlier than usual in consequence. In a short time afterwards (he lightning struck one of the buildings, the roof of which was blown off and everything in the building destroyed. WRECK OF A STEAMER OX LOCH LOMOND.—We regret to announce an unfortunate accident on Loch Lomond. About three o'clock on Friday, the Pilot, one of the steamers carrying excur- sion passengers up the Loch, while making a trip, suddenly struck on a sunken rock, within a short distance of the shore, near Ross Point, south of Rowardeninan, The shock was so violent that many of the passengers were upset on deck, and the greatest alarm and excitement prevailed. The sensation felt by those on board was as if the vessel was being sawn asunder. The first shock was so sudden that the machinery was not stopped, and no sooner had it been felt than another succeeded. The alarm now felt was gently increased. The Pilot immediately reached df'ep water, and the captain, with great presence of mind, steered the e sel direct for the shore, which he succeeded in reaching without ranker, bringing tie steamer aground in the bay between Rosa 1'o.Tt iihd Rowardenman We. are happy to hear that no lives were list. The.Pdot is the property of Messrs. Burns, the owner of the ill-fated Orion, which was lately wrecked on the rocks of Port^ atri.-k.

MONEY MARKET. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENIXO. The market for the English funds was exceedingly quiet to-day, and very little business was transacted. The first quotation for Consols.was VG. to t for monev, alîC19Gi to J ior account, at which the also closed; the only variation that occurred during the day being a temporary rise te 96J for casli, from which, how- ever, they almost immediately, declined.

LONDON COlLN EXCHANGE. MONDAY.—There are reports of an unfavourable character from Ireland, respecting potatoes • but this did not produce any effect on tin; trade, which was dull for evesy article.. There was a slightly increased show of wheat from Essex, but the display on the Kent stands was very small, and from more remote counties there was scarcely any fresh up. Factors refused, therefore, to give way, but the tritiing improvement of Friday was lost, prices being precis, ly the same as on this day WCdL 'i he tezt,.isactioiis in foreigil wlieltt were oil a retail scale, but there was no parricular anxiety to realise, alld needy buyers had to pay former terms for good useful qualities. Flour- of "all descriptions hung heavily on baud. There was no English barley worth naming, and its value remained nominally as before. Foreign met with less attention than of late but sellers were generally firm-, and not inclined to accept lower rates than on ( Monday last. Prices of malt underwent no alteration requiring notice. There were very few parcels of oats fre.-h up coastwise, but we had an abundant supply of foreign, and the dealers declined purchasing at previous prices. English beans were rather easier to buy, but Egyptian were held quite as high as before. Peas moved off slowly, one sample of new appeared (of good quality, but rather r soft)., for which 27s. per qr. was realised.

Upwards of 8,000 quarters of foreign wheat have readied us this week. Selected samples were held firmly, at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds. very little business doing. Scarcely any English Barley was on show but the quantity of foreign was extensive. Malting parcels sold steadily at full prices but grinding and distilling sorts were neglected. Malt the supply of which was I sinail, moved off slowly at late rates. Good sound oats were quite as dear. Damp qualities were almost non>inal. Heal:s" peas, and flour commanded very little attention.

LIVERPOOL. TUESDAY,—We had a fair attendance of town and countrymillers at our Corn Exchange this morning, but the wheather proving very fine, their operations in wheat and flour are limited, and a decline on the price of this day week was noted of Id. per bushel and 6d. per sack. Band flour was not any lower. Good mealing oats are scarce, and id. per bushel dearer. Oatmeal was in limited request. Grinding barley was Id. to 2d. per bushel,iind beans," peas, and In- dian corn each fully G(L per quarter-higher than last Tuesday.

PROVISIONS. Monday.—The Irish butter market ruled very dull dur,ing the past week, and but a limited amount of business transacted to make progress in sales lower rates would have to be submitted to. Foreign was in a free supply, and prices declined 2s. to 4s. ptrcwt. The sales of Irish butter on board and landed were few and un- important. Prices scarcely so firm. The report of an advance, in Ireland had no effect here.
