the right honourable gentleman in their eye , &c. &c. 
But where is the civilization of Great Britain, when the 
Welch, the Irish, the Scotch, the Border, the Yorkshire,, 
the Lancashire, the London, the Somersetshire, and the 
Cornish dialects, are mutually unintelligible to the inha- 
bitants of each ? Bring together an inhabitant of Orms- 
kirk or Poulton in the Fylde in Lancashire, and Redruth 
or Truro in Cornwall, and although each would talk 
English, they would understand each other, about as 
much as an Hottentot and a Cherokee, There is no such 
disgrace in America. Five and twenty years may have 
lessened it in England, but it existed in great force at 
that period. 
We went to the Parys mountain, which is about a 
mile long. It is excavated from the top downward. All 
is open to the day. No shafts, no levels, the ore is drawn 
up to the top. 
The kinds of ore, are the common yellow sulphuret of 
copper— azure or mountain blue-*— malachite or mountain 
green ( carbonat s) — Black copper ore, contaminated with 
sulphuret of lead, black jack and calamine— sulphuret 
of copper or blue vitriol chrystallized, and in solution, 
which is pumped up— sulphat of lead, and the dog-tooth 
lead ore. 
There is also found in small quantities, native copper— 
and some native sulphur. 
The copper and sulphur in the best part of the ore, are 
about equal in quantity. The dirt of the gangue or ma- 
trix amounts to nearly one half. 
In roasting the ore, the miners have a notion that the 
metal becomes concentrated in the middle of the lump. 
But this is a mistake. The middle part is most solid and 
heavy, because it is less acted on, by the heat, the air, 
and the sulphuric acid formed during the combustion of
