CORNWALL. 
The corporation of Penzance have lately 
replaced a pole on the Geer, a formidable 
rock in the centre of Mount’s Bay. ‘This 
most useful sea-mark was fixed under the 
superintendence of a committee, and in 
conformity with an ingenious plan suggested 
by Dr, Penneck. 
The Redmoor copper mine is about to 
be effectually wrought by a respectable and 
opulent company. Several other mining 
grants on the manor of Stokeclimsland haye 
been obtained from the lessees of nines and 
minerals in the duchy ; and there is. every 
reason to believe that.the upper part of the 
county will ere long be as great a mining 
district as the lower part of it, 
Tt is proposed to establish a school for 
miners at Redruth, with three professors to 
teach the arts and sciences connected with 
mining.

IRELAND. 
At a late meeting of the Catholics of St. 
Audeon’s parish, Dublin, some opposition 
was made to a vote of thanks to Mr. O’Con- 
nell, on account of his “advocacy of the 
wings.’ Mr. O’Connell, in returning 
thanks, stated that he never would have 
approved of the bill for pensioning the 
clergy, if it had not received the sanction of 
two of the most venerable and pious of the 
Roman Catholic Prelates. He also declared 
that he would never again bring forward or 
support such a measure, as he now felt con- 
vinced its effect would be to retard, rather 
than advance, the Catholic cause. This 
declaration was received with much applause ; 
and the meeting separated.
