A.A. Company report - Respecting the Coal Mines at Newcastle, of which is a former Report, it has been stated that His Majestys Government had consented to grant a lease to the A.A. Company for a period of 31 years, the Directors have now to observe that their plans for working the mines n the most advantageious manner, have been gradually matured, and it is expected that in the course of next month, or the beginning of March, Mr. Henderson who is engaged as principal Manager, will be prepared to embark for the Colony, accompanied by an efficient but moderate establishment of assistants, and an adequate supply of Steam Engines and Machinery; it may therefore, be fairly anticipated, that in a few months these Mines will be brought on account of the Company , into a state of more active operatons.
