Government, with a view to reduce the 
price of copper, which is now at about 1601. 
per ton, ftandard, have had it in contemplation 
to prevent the exportation of the article, for a 
period to be himited. The gentlemen now 
. Loudon, who are principally interefied in 
the Cornifh mmes, have had two interviews 
with certain inembers of the Privy Council 
on this bufinets.. John Vivian, of Truro, etq, 
and Robert Hox, of Falmouth, efq. gentle- 
men diftinguifhed for probity and honour, ag 
well as extentive ‘knewledge in mining affairs, 
repaired to London, to be prefent at the fe- 
cond meeting, and to reprefent to Govern- 
ment the actual ftate of the copper mines 
in this county. . Were our opinion of any 
- Weight, (fays the Editor of the Cornwall 
Gazette,) we fheuld advife that the mines 
and the copper market be leit free and un- 
reftrained as at prefent; and in that cate, 
there is little fear but the evil would foon 
work its owa cure. The prefent high price 
ef copper is ithe effect of its fcarcity. The 
produce‘oft the mines is brought regularly to 
the weekly market, when the whele, be the 
quantity what it may, is told, and much more 
nught be feld, if the miners could produce it. 
_ This tearcity of copper ore is the effect of the 
late low prices of copper: in contequence of 
which low prices, many mines were obliged 
to difcontinue working ; thereby reducing the 
grois produce of copper im the market. The 
necent rife in the price, has encouraged ad- 
venturers to refume the working of thefe 
mines, and to fearch for new ones; the na- 
tural confequence of which will foon be, an 
iucreate of the grofs quantity of copper ore 
in the market, and, py this Gian a fall in 
the price.” 
The following fingular faé& will be intereft- 
ing to the lovers of hatural hiftory :-—-A fimall 
mongrel bitch, the property of a gentleman 
in Pruro, having lately a litter of puppies, 
and being detained from ‘them for the {pace 
sf three or four days, upon her return found 
that another bitch (her offspring in a former 
bites, and then about feven months ald) had 
“Cornwall. 419 
adopted the litter as her own; and, though 
fhe never had borne puppies herfelf, actually 
fuckled her adopted ‘children: and fo co- 
pioufly did: the milk flow from this virgin 
nurfe, that the alone nourifhed and reared 
the whole litter, while their own mother 
abandoned them. 
A meeting was lately held at Bude, to con- 
fider the practicability of making a fafe and 
commodious harbour at thet place. It’ ape 
peared fromthe report of the furveyor, that’ 
the plan is very practicable; and that a fate 
and commodious harbour may be forined 
there at the triflmg expence of S5@0l. A 
fwbfcription was immediately opened for the 
railing of this fum, above one-third of which 
was fubferibed upon the {pot; and a-Com- 
mittee appointed to carry the plan into exe- 
cution. The proprietors and eecupicrs of 
lands in the neftth-eaftern parts ‘of Cornwall, 
cannot but be fenfible of the many advan- 
tages which mutt accrue to thei if this project 
thould be carried into execution ; and, it exe- 
cuted upon a liberal.and enlarged fewle, there 
is ne doubt but’ that they and their pofterity 
will be amply rewarded for their ¢pirit and 
enterprize. 
A valuable quarry of ftene, with an im- 
menfe vein-of beautiful - clay, has lately been 
difeovered on the Bartdn of Pénnance,; in 
the parith of Budock. Tt has been found by 
teyeral experiments, in ‘the fires of the Staf- 
fordfhtre potteries, and elfewhere, that this 
ftone and clay may be converted into excel- 
lent fire-brick ; and as the place affords every: 
other facility, it has been recommended to 
the public to form a relpectable company for 
the purpofe ef eftablithing a-brick-matufac- 
tory on an extenfive fexle.’ The quarry is 
fituated at a {mall ditance from Falmouth, 
near Swan Pool, on a cliff contiguous-to the 
fea, where boats may eafily approach and 
fvad with the Rone or brick, without any om 
pence of land Carriage.
