230 Scientific IntelUgence, [March, 



that his Royal Highness the Prince Regent has become its Patron ; 

 and, as this is the first instance in Great Britain in which the 

 attention of the throne has been directed to the promotion of 

 niineralbgical science, it is to be fairly anticiiwted that it may lead 

 our government to the establishment of a School of Mines ; the 

 great advantage of such institutions having been strikingly evinced 



in other nations. 



It was resolved that a deputation should present an address of 

 thanks to his Royal Highness, for the great honour conferred upon 

 them; and that it should consist of the Vice Patrons, Lord De 

 Dimstanville, and the Earl of Yarmouth j the President, Davies 

 Giddy, Esq. M. P. ; and its founder, Dr. Ayrton Paris. 



Apartments have been provided at Penzance, which contain a 

 collection of minerals already highly interesting: among the later 

 additions we may notice rutilute, lately dicovered in the slate quar- 

 ries at Tintagel ; a prey copper ore from Crennis mine, the com- 

 position of which resembles x.\\efrtl-er%, with the exception of lead, 

 (on the authority of the Rev. William Gregor.) Wood tin from 

 Trethurgy Moor, near St. Austel, in a matrix of shorl and quartz. 

 The triple sulphurct of anthnomj, lead, and copper, which has re- 

 appeared at the Antimony Mine, near Port Isaac, after a lapse of 

 twenty years.- Su/phate of larytes, now found at Huel Unity, for 

 the first time in Cornwall.— A large quantity of stream gold, pre- 

 sented by Sir Christopher Hawkins, with an interesting account of 

 its discovery, in which he states that it was found in streaming for 

 tin in a moor in the parish of Ladock ; and oflers some informa- 

 tion, which he trusts may direct future adventurers to a successful 

 undertaking. — Many other communications have been also read 

 before the Society, an analysis of which we shall offer to our readers 

 in the next number of the Annals. — We understand that the Society 

 are preparing a volume of Transactions, wiiich are shortly to 

 appear.
