The expectation of the public patronage 
to the Bath-Fafton Mining Concern has been 
éompletely realized. The propofed number 
of fhares (two hundred) are iubfcribed for, 
and there has been a prefling demand for 
more ; but as the fund is deemed amply 
fafiicient, the fubfeription is clefed, in confe- 
quence of which we underftand the'prefent 
ihares bear a premium. Two pits are open- 
ed, the works are well executed, and the 
undertaking proceeds with the greateft {pirit. 
In addition to the improvement of Briftol 
harbour. by the new cut, which is going on

-or towing path is to be made on each fide

gacilitate the progrels of veffels.

recently fet on foot for accomplithing this

already begun. The fcite of the theatre is on 
that cligible and central {pot, Beaufort-fquare.
