St. Ives
It is truly said that “we live in an age of improvement”, and a more striking proof of the justness of the remark cannot be pointed out than the New Road leading from Hayle into this town. It is notorious, that from time immemorial the road to St. Ives has been so proverbially bad, as to be dreaded by travelers, especially by those who traveled in carriages. For nearly a mile there was a steep hill to descend, the declivity of which was from 16 to 20 inches in a fathom, and so narrow (in some places not more than ten feet) that carriages could not freely pass each other. Large stones would frequently tumble out of the hedges, and, from its narrowness, the [lo]ods often injured the road, so as to endanger the lives of travelers. The present New Road is about 25 feet wide, with a foot-path of 5 feet in addition; and its declivity averages about 4 inches in a fathom. The men are now employed in cutting down the hill from Tregenna Place, and making a road through the Terrace, to join the above New Road already made; and when the work is completed, the egress from St. Ives will be as easy and pleasant as from any town in the county. The expense of the last work is to be defrayed by a parish rate.

She went off the stocks in fine style, and was named "George" after the owner, George Williams Esq. merchant, St. Ives. The Influenza has caused this little place to appear almost desolate; there is scarcely a house but a portion of its inmates are confined; and the places of worship on Sunday presented empty pews.

Letters

Sir:
I have often seen the poor almost wholly disregarded, and borne by a few infirm persons scarcely sufficient to take the body to the grave. Who can look on such things without observation, in a great town like Penzance? Where the poor are infirm and afflicted, should not proper persons, I would ask, be provided to assist at the funeral? I mention this, that the remains of the poor may be respected. Should not the Doctor and the Overseer attend the funeral?

I am, Sir, your obedient servant, OBSERVER

Wesleyan Missions Anniversary
On Sunday, the Rev. Messrs. Williams, Maebraer, and Robert Newton[?] preached at the Methodist Chapel, Penzance, to crowded congregations. It is supposed that Mr. Newton’s audience consisted of upwards of 2,000 persons, who listened with the greatest attention to the impressive and eloquent discourse. The following evening, the public meeting was held, when the audience was more numerous, if possible, than on the preceding occasion. The speeches delivered appeared to produce a deep impression, and the collections amounted to £140, being £60 more than at the last anniversary. On Tuesday morning, there was a public Missionary breakfast in the vestry adjoining the chapel, at which 135 persons were present, who were highly delighted with the speeches delivered by the gentlemen of the Deputation.

On Sunday, the Rev. Messrs. Young and Bustard preached two excellent sermons in the Wesleyan Chapel, St. Ives, in the aid of these missions; and on Tuesday, at noon, the Rev. Robert Newton preached an eloquent and impressive discourse to a large and respectable congregation, who, to testify their respect for the Rev. Gentleman, closed their shops and suspended business for the remainder of the day. On the same evening, the eighteenth anniversary of the society was held in the spacious Wesleyan Chapel, which was filled with such a mass of people as have seldom been witnessed& The spirit of liberality manifested on this occasion is without parallel in this county. In addition to the collections, which amounted to £145.0s.4d, the sum of £57 was placed on the platform, as the produce of a ladies’ bazaar, making the total mount received in aid of the funds £202.4s.4d.

Deaths

At Helleston, on Sunday evening last, after an illness of long standing, and much occasional suffering, George Simon Borlase, Esq., F.R.S. deputy-lieutenant of his county, in the forty-sixth year of his age. The early death of this lamented gentleman will be felt, not merely as a private, but as a public loss. As an active magistrate, ever ready to lend his best exertions to the cause of improvement, as the friend of every useful and benevolent institution, and as the strenuous promoter of every object calculated to advance the best interests of the county, and raise the general standard of intelligence among the people, he will be sincerely regretted by all who shared his labours, or are capable of appreciating their utility. In his native town, more particularly, and its immediate vicinity, the independence of his character, his public spirit and liberality, will long be remembered in their effects, no less than in the grateful recollections of the inhabitants. Of the many permanent records by which his practical worth may be estimated, it may be sufficient to notice the schools at Huel Vor, founded, supported, and to a considerable extent endowed, for the children of the miners in that populous district, by his persevering zeal and beneficence; and many similar undertakings directly as well as indirectly conducive to the advancement of religion and piety, either effected, commenced, or only frustrated by his premature decease, bear testimony equally honourable to his character. He took much interest in the pursuits of science, and numbered among his friends Davies, Gilbert, Dr. Paris, and many other individuals distinguished in the scientific world.

At Penzance, on Tuesday last, Mr. Nicholas Tremewen, aged 79 years.

CORNWALL LENT ASSIZES Tuesday March 28 [condensed]
Philip Corin, 23 charged with the manslaughter of Thomas Rodda. On Saturday, the 30th of July, Thomas Rodda went to Penzance to meet his daughter with a mule and a cart. He waited till the evening and was disappointed by her not coming. He stopped at Chyandour-bridge, and met the defendant. Corin requested a ride home with him, to which Rodda objected. The cart fell on Rodda; he was injured. In the morning he sent for his brother; the doctor was called, but he died the next Monday. Deceased made a long statement to his brother, which differed widely from the evidence given by William Hinson and John Smith, witnesses. Rodda was very inebriated, and was blind in one eye; defense maintained he upset the cart himself. “The Judge very ably and clearly recapitulated the evidence to the Jury, who, after a consultation of a quarter of an hour, returned a verdict of not guilty.”

The Wherry Mine
The first annual meeting of the shareholders in this peculiarly-situated and most interesting mine, in Mount’s bay, was held on the mine, on Monday, the first instant, when it appeared an engine-house with all other requisite erections have been completed. A new forty-inch engine with boilers, &c. is also in such an advanced state as to be ready for work in the course of a fortnight; and a bridge or stage has been built, extending from the engine 80 fathoms beyond high-water mark into the sea, where a strong wooden shaft has been raised 12 feet above the highest spring tides. The progress made in this mine in less than twelve months, from the commencement of operations, gave universal satisfaction. We make the following extracts from the report of the Directors, and the other proceedings of the day:

“The directors have much pleasure in stating that after considerable difficulties they had to contend with at the onset, they succeeded in securing to the undertaking the valuable service of Capt. Nicholas Vivian, a mine-agent of the first celebrity in the county; whilst they were also fortunate enough to have the engineer’s department presided over by Mr. Samuel Grose. Nothing is due from the mine for any supplies to the end of March inclusive; by such prompt payments the concern has had the advantage of cash prices.

But for the unprecedented state of the weather through the winter, added to the delay in the delivery of castings, the mine would have been working before this. It is, however, pleasing to find that the erections, even when incomplete, withstood the severest gales; and now that the shaft is built up to its full height, and the bridge extended to its full purposed limits, the shareholders can have no reason to anticipate the possibility of damage or obstruction from any weather in future. Nearly the whole of the castings have been at length delivered, the engineer calculates that the engine will be completed, so as to attach to the flat rods [in a] fortnight, and that the communications with the shaft, with shears, bobs, &c. will be effected so that the engine may be made to work, and the shaft in a state of clearing up by the middle of June.

Among the resolutions of the day, thanks were voted to the resident directors for their valuable services, which they were requested to continue; and Henry Pope, and Joseph Raleigh, Esquires, of Manchester, were appointed honorary directors, to facilitate communication between the directors of the mine, and the shareholders in Lancashire.
