April 4th, 1863. j Sir,—I have pleasure in handing you my report on the j samples of Lime, the complete Analyses of which I en- close herewith. Both Limes are very well burnt, are very pure, when slaked, are remark- j ably white. Tliis is more particularly the case with the sample of The China Bed Lime," whose purity and whiteness well adapt it for many uses in the arts, more particularly for Bleaching Powder" manufacture. Both Limes are well suited for Chemical purposes generally, where a pure lime is desired also for building and other uses, to which lime is applied. From the great freedom of the limestones from which these limes were prepared: from and and silicic acid: they would, in my opinion, bo well suited for fluxing purposes in the smelt- ing of iron ores, &c.

Lester, Dear Sir,—I have some reluctance in j raplying to your letter, regarding the quality of your Lime, n>t having had sufficient time to prove its quality. But I may in the mean time state, that your Lime is more profitable than the other Minera Lime, because there is less refuse, and consequently it goes farther in the way of ) making more mortar for either building or plastering. T have not yet had sufficient time to prove the strength of the mortar. We shall be glad to have another truck as soon as you can send it to Pulford, I am, Dear Sir, Your's &c. John Morison.

William Lester, Esq., Minera, Dear Sir,—From a care- ful examination of your extensh c i-ange of Lime Rocks at Miaera, and from the plans submitted to me for working the same. I am of opinion that you hare by far the best Rock in the District, in point of quality and situation. Indeed, the quantity is unlimited, and from its regular bearings, and massive proportions, it clearly proves itself to be the Parent Rock, and as such, of superior quality to those around it. This is also proved in the greater purity oJ the Lime and its well known superior quality for plastering and building purposes. Your working plans are well arranged, and will soon enable you to supply any quantity of both Lime and Limestone of first rate quality, I am, Sir, Your's truly, Hugh Davies, Borough Surveyor, Wrexham.
