This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and working two valuable freehold mineral properties, known as the Wheal Fortune and Wheal Virgin Mines. situated 30 miles from the shipping port of Geraidtoe, in the Champion Bay district of Western Australia. The property comprises 230 acres of freehold land with the lad and was obtained direct from the crown in the year 1858 by local adventurers, who subscribed • limited capital, which was expended in the purchase of the land and the necessary moving plant, leaving • balance of only £3OO to com mence operations. Three shafts are already sunk to the respec tive depths of 8, 12, and 23 fathoms, and several distinct copper lodes and lead-bearing crosscourses discovered. From one or two of the former 946 tons of copper ore have been raised and transmitted to this country, and sold at Swarm, by public ticketing', between February 14, 1880, and June 10, 1862, the per centime of which for pure copper averaged 24, and realised the sum of C 18,509 64. 9d., as is evidenced by the following transcript of the ticket sales thereof , in addition to which, about 160 tom of rich lead ore have been obtained from a cross course, and sold for £837. A further parcel of 100 tons of copper ore is advised at the port, ready for shipment. Altogethe e dear profit during the two years was £3,500, on the initial work ing capital of f. 300, exclusive of the purchase as aforesaid. The operations at the mines are continued, and the yield of ore L emma as the works program, se that proportionate receipts may 'be anticipated. The copper ore was consigned to Messrs Wm.

A FRENCH evening paper, once official, and still anxious to preserve or recover the reputation of being the organ of ministerial disclosures, has exhumed the old bugbear of the Franco-Russian alliance. We are far from denying that there ;s a • good deal of intimate communication and mutual support between the Courts of the Tuileries and St. Petersburg. We mentioned, indeed, some days ago, how influential the hostility of Rome to both ' had proved to induce them to make common cause and head against it. But from the language of the Patric, we infer that its writer sees but a very short way into the nature of this alliance. The French journalist, in the first place, informs us that France and Russia have come to an agree ment as tothe best mode of inquiring intoandsolving the difficulties which arise out of the situation of the Christians of the East. But on this subject the two Governments have been agreed long ago. France and Russia have been for these many years manoeuvring, singly and conjointly, not so much really to serve and advance the interests and happiness of the Christians of the East, as to as sume the Protectorate, the one of Catholic, the other of Greek Christians, in order to make them the instruments of their ambit'on and the foot stools of their grandeur. Mut they will con tinue to do so was to be expected, and is nothing new. Nor is there any alliance _ _ required, or, is we believe, concluded for the pur pose. So long u the understanding between the Courts limits itself to diplomatic action, it can be met, u it has hitherto been, in the diplomatic geld. It can only be dangerous when such an alliance assumes an aggressive or offensive form against Turkey. For this Russia is by no means prepared at the present moment. Neither is France. We feel, therefore, perfectly tranquil as to the bugbear of the Patrie. The second announcement of that journal is the agreement of France and Russia with respect to the affairs of Italy. Of this we have as little doubt as of the other : France and Russia regent Italy just as they do the Eastern Christians. They oars as little as possible about its welfare, its consolida tion, or its unity. But they wish to use Italy as a warlike instrument to attack and neutaalise the German Powers whenever those Powers threaten to interfere with their designs. Thee* designs of France and Russia all refer, we re peat, to the future ; but they wish to keep Italy in its present situation, armed, unsettled, imps. IL THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING JULY 15, 1882. tient, and angry, to hold it like a bound in leash, and ready to spring at the throat of Austria, as . soon as it is the Franco-Russian interest that nal"' should do so, but not before. What the Patric says *boot the dispute between Denmark and Germany is simple nonsense. England and Austria fully agree with Russia and with France as to the necessity of maintaining the independence and integrity of Denmark. It is merely the National Union of Germany that has got astride of this question, which the Prussian Government takes up in order to gain some popularity out of it. But that farce has been played too often. In none of these questions can we find a sufficient foundation for the congratulations of the Pairie. The advantage which France is likely to gain from protecting Eastern Catholics appears to be of about the same importanoe as the advantage to be gained from her crusade in Mexico—attended with infinite embarrassment and expense. But Russia has at present the strongest interest in keeping France her friend. Russia is engaged in what is little less than the re-conquest of Poland, and this at a time when the soil of Rumeia itself trembles with disaffection. A word of France to Warsaw, boldly spoken, and Poland would stand up once more a resuscitated nation. Russian flattery, therefore, Russian obsequiousness, Russian alliance, proffered to France we can perfectly understand. NAPO LEON'S credulity in receiving all this, and in' ' boasting of it as a strength and a homage, makes us fear that the vanity of the French DA PI/Wit is strong enough to eclipse his judgment, and make him throw away the best opportunity of his reign. . _ There is no doubt that the recognition of the Kingdom of Italy by Russia at the present moment was warmly solicited by the French Government, and was gratefully received by it. A more con clusive answer to the manifesto of the French Pretender at Lucerne could not be given. The Duke of BORDEAUX issued 114 mandate to the French Legitimists, allowing them to do what they were already determined to do without his leave, vote for the priestly party in the French elec tions. NAPOLION replies by the sanction of united Europe, Austria alone excepted, to the expulsion of the BOURBONS from Italy. Deserted by people and by courts, Legitimacy finds its last and sole patronage in Rome. That patronage may cost Rome dear; ', for certainly whatever sentiments the French I Escrows may have before entertained for the movement of Italy, the alliance which the Church and the Iliouseose have made and proclaimed against NAPOLION 111. must tend to fling the latter more fully into the Italian cause. High authority in Parliament has told us that Prussia, in giving its recognition of the Italian throne, re commends a reciprocal recognition at the same time of German rights. And whatever Russia might have done, Prussia would scarcely have , come forward with its adhesion had it not received some assurance that the territories of the German Confederation would be respected by the new kingdom. But there is little use or validity in promises, even if such promises were given, of maintaining Italy permanently 1 -1 the status quo. "To what "is impossible no one is bound." And to keep Italians content, with Venet's and Rome in the hands of avowed and ever active enemies, is an impossibility far surpassing and surmounting every word, promise, or guarantee that Italian prince or statesman can give. All that can be done or hoped for is to tide over some months, or weeks. And we believe that neither France nor Russia expects or even desires more than • tem porary lull. The two Powers may insist on tike Italians being tranquil for the present. Perhaps such injunctions are accompanied by other words and explanations, giving hopes of • very different solution of the Italian question from the status quo. The government of Italy bows in faint and momentary acquiescence, but meantime does not relax its armaments or bate one jot of its pre tensions. gbe Court. OSBORNE, Jam 14.

(Per Jun, by telegraph to Cape Baer, and via Londonderry.] NEW YORK, domes 7, Evnino. The Confederate general Magruder has been captured ; the report of General Jackson's death is not oonfirmed. Vicksburg has not been taken. The Federals have captured the Confederate gunboat Teaser in James River. Richmond has been illuminated. The Southern newspapers claim that the Con federates have captured 12,000 prisoners, all M'Clellan's siege guns, and supplies sufficient to last the Confederate army for three months. The Federal War Department has ordered all returned prisoners, liberated on parole by the Con federates, to report themselves immediately, and they will be appointed to some duty conip!itible with their parole. The newspapers urge recourse to drafting. General MTlellan has issued an address to the army, declaring that the Federal" should enter Richmond, and that the Union shall be preserved, no matter what the cost of time, of treasure, and of blood. The correspondent of the New York Times states that since the evacuation of James Island, the Con federates are threatening Port Royal, in South Carol'ua. The Governors of all the Union States have issued proclamations for more troops. The Federal commander before Vicksburg is em ploying his troops to cut a canal across the land opposite the city, so as to change the course of the Mississippi, and render Vicksburg for ever an inland town. General M'Clellan has had another skirmish with the Confederates, being the third, which has resulted in the latter being forced to retreat. The Bavaria and Glasgow took two-and-a-half million dollars in specie on freight for Europe on the 6th. THE LATE BATTLES. SEVEN DAYS' FIGHTING. GENERAL M'CLELLAN'S DESPATCH. (Per how via Quebec end Loodoodarry.) NEW YORK, JULY 3, Bviainto. Events of the higheet importance have taken place before Richmond. A aeries of severe and bloody battles, exteud ing over seven days, have been fought before that place, resulting in the defeat of General M'Clel lan's army with heavy lees. The Federal army retreated 17 miles. The accounts received are very oonfused, only one official report having been published. The correspondents state that General M'Clellan's army consisted of 95,000 effective troops, and that the Confederates with their reinforcements num bered 185,000. The Confederates must have suffered very heavily, but appear to have continued to press on in overwhelming numbers. No estimate of loss can be made on either aide with accuracy. The estimates given vary from 10,000 to 30,000. General M'Clellan with his army has fallen back under the cover of the gunboats on the James River, and is throwing up entrenchments. The War Department has received despatches from General IL Tlellan, dated "Berkley, Barri- I eons Bar, July 2, 5.30 p.m.," stating that be had suooeeded in getting his army to that place, on the banks of the James River, and that he had loot but one gun and one waggon. He further states that be had fought a severe battle upon the let, and had beaten the enemy upon the 2nd, that the men were in good spirits, and that reinforcements from Washington had arrived. This is the only official despatch published. The correspondents of the various newspapers mention the ices of several Federal batteries and siege guns. it is reported that the Confederate generals Jackson and Rhett (1) were killed, and that Magruder was captured. ' It is also reported that two Federal generals are captured. The news from Richmond caused great gloom, and a great deal of popular newspaper indignation that General M'Clellan was out-numbered. General M'Clellan's despatch from Berkley caused more cheerful feelings. Some newspapers attack General M'Clellan, others blame the members of the Federal Cabinet. The new levy of 300,000 men is urged on as of more importance than ever, and a more energetic prosecution of the war is demanded. The New York Chamber of Commerce has passed resolutions that it would by its influence continue to sustain the government in the determined effort to put down the rebellion and to maintain the Union. The Count of Paris and the Duke of Chartres, aince the late battles, have quitted the Federal army and returned to Europe. The editor of the Baltimore American is released from prison. General Hunter, in reply to an inquiry from Congress, acknowledges that he has drilled and armed negroes, and hopes by the end of the fall to present to the government 40,000 negro soldiers. His reply will be debated in Congress. The New York Herald says that instructions have been sent to General Butler to cease all further correspondence with the foreign diplomatic agents, and to leave such matters to the States depart ment. (Per Jura, by Teloges& to Father Paint and from Londonderry.) NEW YORK, JOLT 5, Arrmoos. Official despatches from General M'Clellan, of Friday, the 4th, says that no fighting has maned since Tuesday, when the rebels were repulsed with heavy slaughter. The Federal army moved into the position now occupied because it affords greatly superior advan tages for the operations of the gunboats, seventeen of which are now in James River protecting the flank of the Federal army. The Federal forces were not beaten in any con flict, nor could they be driven from the field by the utmost efforts of the rebels. No guns have been ITALY. The address of the Italian chamber to King Victor Emmanuel, on the occasion of the marriage of the Princess Pia, is as follows : By this happy family alliance, the King and Italy give a pledge of affection to a dynasty and people who were our faithful friends in the days of adversity, and were the first to hail the awakening of Italy. The daughter of a King and a people who have taught the world how great nations are formed, will be on the throne the worthy companion of a prince to whose virtues the affection of his people and the respect of civilised satins render homage. This happy union is the presage of the glorious destinies which await the regenerated Latin civilisetioe. AUSTRIA. The Vienna Gazette make.) an announcement which appears to be a sort of indirect response to the recognition of Italy by Russia. It is as fol lows : Baron Winspeare, the Neapolitan Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, who has been accredited to this court, had the honour, oa the 7th, to present to the Emperor in solemn audience his letters of credence. RUSSIA. At Rigs and other towns on the Baltic prepara tions are being made for the reception of the Em peror Alexander, who is shortly expected. The following bulletin has been published by the Russian journals on the health of the Grand Duke Constantine :—" His Imperial Highness is pro ceeding as favourably as possible. The wound is cicatrised ; the pain in the bone, however, con tinues." AMERICAN Ninve AND OUR CONTEMPORARIRS.— The telegram from New York, published by our cootempo mire last evening, and which created some excitement, was but ► copy of one of Reuter's telegrams which appeared in the Expreir as far back as Thursday evening last! The following pasaage of a letter in the Moniteur has attracted some attention The battle before Rich mood is looked upon as • complete driest for the Federal troop,. The most devoted partisans of the North admit that the reverse is of the most serious character, not only for the position of General Weigle°, but also for the Northern cause. Within the space of one week here are two great battles, both lost by the North. Under these circumstances it is hoped that the partisans of ea arrange ment will be emboldened to raise their voice." At the late ball at Hourges, on the Empress Eugenie appearing the mayor presented to her a magoificent bouquet of natiusl exotic flowers set in a rich holder of gold, with a handle of red jasper, besting the arms of the town. The DEbate sees a political intent in the name which has hese given to the newly-born child of the Greed Duchess Constantine. It seems that the name of Weclau, the Polish of which is " Veccesbui," has never figured in the Russian calendar, but " belongs to the grand family of the western &laves, of which the Polish nation is a member." The Electoral Prince of Hesse, who is now at TOME, will. it in expected, remain there till about the 20th inst., when he will proceed with his court to his possessions in Bohemia. It is expected that he will have a meeting with the Emperor of Austria whilst staying at Horowitz. The Parisian world is on the qui rise to visit the Hotel de lit Pais, which has been fitted up with great taste.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mon ooz owl PARIS, MONDAY EV121130. There is no news of the Vera Cruz packet from Mexico, although the government journals an nounced that she was within sight of St. Nazaire on Saturday. The Pays, not explaining that mis take, now says—" in order to prevent false inter pretations of the delay," that although it was cal ' oulated that the Vera Cruz would arrive on the 12th or 13th, it is thought she must have been delayed either at starting or on the voyage. The Patrie says not a word on the subject, which is perhaps discreet ; but it announces that the Mo selle transport left Toulon this morning for Vera Cruz, with provisions for the troops at Orizaba. Bullier's Correspondence receives letters from Cherbourg stating that the reinforcements to Mexico are to be on a much larger scale than was at first contemplated, and that three fresh ships have just been added to the squadron. The Moniteur has not yet given any list of the killed and wounded in the repulse before Puebla on May 5. The names of officers who fell on that disastrous day creep into the provincial papers by degrees, as the news reaches relations in private letters. An Algerian paper, the Courrier d'Oran, makes known a very heavy instalment of the general loss, by publishing the number of the killed and wounded in the single regiment of the 2nd Zousvesi, according to letters received from their comrades by the depot of that regiment now quartered at Oran. The 2nd Zonaves, which left Oran 1,800 strong, only mustered 1,000 in the ►ttack on Puebla. The difference is not accounted for ; the whole 800, it may be hoped, had not fallen victims to the climate, Some of that num ber were doubtless on detached duty ; but of the 1,000 engaged the returns show 89 k. l led, and 19i wounded ; total, 283. The proportion is therefore , rather more than one man in four hors de combat. The loss of officers was in a much greater ratio, there being 8 killed and 10 wounded out of 35 more than every other officer ! The Patric announces in large type that the Em peror will have an interview with the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia early in Septem ber at some place not yet definitively fixed. The following paragraph in the 3foniteur du Puy de Dome is a curious discordant note in the concert of rapturous descriptions given by the official press I of the reception of the Emperor in Auvergne : The proprietor of a house is Clermont having refused to permit oue of hie lodgers to place some flap over the rosin entrance, a decree of the vice-president of the Civil Tribu nal, made executory on the instant, notwithstanding any notice of appeal, did justice upon this householder. The possibility of such speedy justice in such a matter is quite sufficient to explain the uniformity of the outward symbols of public rejoicings, which invariably attend the Emperor wherever he goes. The Empress yesterday paid a visit to the new Grand Hotel de la Paix, and spent upwards of as hour in the establishment, visiting all the principal rooms, the kitchens, and even the cellars, which will hold 300,000 bottles of wine. It is announced that this vast caravansary, which rivals the Hotel du Louvre, and is said to be even more magnificent, will be open to the public to-morrow. It has been run up in fourteen months, at the immense cost of 22 millions of francs. The direction of the Sociite Immobiliere, to which the new hotel belongs, cele brates the opening by a gift of 20,000 francs to the poor of Paris. The speeches have begun in the case of the 64 conspirators. That of the Advocate-General, K Benoist (a comparatively young man for such a position), was little more than a development of the indictment on which he takes his stand. Ho I lpresses for a conviction against all the prisoners, except about half a dozen, but admits extenuating circumstances in favour of several. He was par ticularly severe upon Miot and Greppo, the ex representatives and other returned political trans ports, who, he said, had abused the Emperor's clemency. The defence was opened by M. Renault, an ad vocate officially assigned by K Jules Favre as batonnier to defend Falwell, the alleged founder of the secret society, who was without counsel. K Renault warmly repudiated the insinuation made by K Cremieux that his client was a spy. The principal spy in this case was, he said, a man named Bachelet, who was included in the indictment, but had managed not to appear at the bar. He pleaded insanity on behalf of Yarnell, and contended that at all events there was no sufficient evidence of his having founded a secret society in the legal adaptation of the term. His opinions were as opposed to Vass& as those of the Advocate-General could be, but he did not hesitate to say that if the judges convicted on the present evidence they would scatter well-founded alarm among all ranks of society in France. K Cremienx is now addressing the court for the prisoner Miot. The Bourse has improved. The Route rose 20c. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 50c. and 68fr. 55e. Mobilier rose Gfr. 25c. The Italian Loan was in great favour and rose 40c. Railways were rather weaker on the whole. Southern and Western rose 3fr. 75c. each ; but Lyons fell 6fr. 25c. Lord and Lady Talbot do Malabide and the Hon. Nimes Talbot have left the Cavendish Hotel, Jermya etreet, for the Fits, Bracknell, Berks. Count Teleki hes left for Paris. Lord Napier, the English Minister at St. Peters burg, is am hie way to Landon, having obtained leave of abloom for some tame.

Despatches were received yesterday at the Co lecial•effice from the Governors of the Australiao colonies, Ceylon, and Hong Kong. In preparation for the banquet announced to take place on board the Viceroy of Bapt's yacht, the Paid ; Behead, at Woolwich to-morrow (Wednesday) evening, and to facilitate the arrival of the royal and distimmaised gnarls free from IDCOOVIIIIiOOOII, arrangements have been made for the entrence of a special train through the lower gate of the ^ Arsenal, from London, to pan without interruption to the heed of the pier, and, if necessary, over the turntables.

The Channel fleet have received orders for sea, sad, according to arrangements existing yesterday, will sail from Spithead to-day for the Baltic, calling in at the Dowse for pilots. The present intentions are for the fleet to pro• wed in the first instance to Stockholm, sod afterwards to Riga, calling at Copenhagen on their return from the Baltic, sometime in the beginning of September. The Emancipation Bill proposed by the Minister for the Colonies has pawed the Second Chamber of the Hague by a large majority. Many amendments were inlasa dnoed favourable to the mimes to be freed. The period for declaring emancipation is flied for the let of July, 1863. The maximum term of the government surveillance is ten years. This morning was issued in a blue book of 268 pages a return, obtained by Mr. White, of all persons in England, Soot hed, and Ireland receiving salaries, passions, pay. pmt, fees, emoluments, 'Bowan:ea, or pads of pub. lie mosey the amount of which exceeds 1501, THZ INTERNATIONAL EL lON. There was again an immense attendance at the Exhibition yesterday, notwithstanding the counter- attractions of the national fife at the Crystal Palace. The numbers admitted, as shown below, exceed those of any previous Monday. The English portion of the Exhibition is greatly overcrowded. The wealth of products throng and heap up all available space, and it requires no little capacity of exploring to discover objects of excellence lying out of the way. In one nook of Class 10 the visitor may find a ooloasal fire-clay re- tort, lying like a sphynx on a long table, in an ob- scure angle. This is a specimen of huge retort from the celebrated Blaydon Burn Works of Joseph Cowen and Company. Those conversant with these articles know that the presence of iron in the clay acts the part of a flux, destroying the otherwise good properties of fire -clay. The celebrated fire- brick and clay retorts of Messrs. Cowen are distinguished above all produced in any of the world by the rare property of part from iron. This is accomplished by fol- lowing the Chinese practice of exposing large bodies of clay to the action of the atmosphere of all weathers, for a great number of years, and em- ploying young hands to pick out the pyritous fragments which this disintegrating process dis- plays. This costly care in the preparation of the material, and a certain secret manipulation in the manufacture, produce retorts which will bear the high white heats of gas-making uses continuously kept up night and day, for four or five years. Medals in 1861, and again this year, have been awarded to Messrs. Cowen. The great gas houses of the metropolis and the smelting furnaces of California and Bendigo, are supplied from the Blaydon works. Wherever lasting qualities are indispensable, these peculiar retorts and bricks, and kindred articles in fire-clay, are in requisition. Specimens from the immense international works of Blaydon have easily borne, as they did in 1861, the ordeal of the International Exhibition of 1862. Mr. Tom Taylor's promised Band-book to the Pictures in the International Exhibition has just been published. The principle on which it has been composed is thus stated in the preface—" This hand book does not aim at criticism except incl. dentally and by implication. its main purpose is to give such information as shall enhance the visitor's enjoyment of the feast here spread for him ; shall direct him to the things of mart interest in themselves, or of most value as illustrations of manners, schools, and modes of work." In this spirit the professor in review the chief pic- tures in all the schools . It appears to us that this is _precisely what was wanted by visitors to the galle We ry. understand that a medal for good printing has been awarded by the jurors of the International Exhibition to Miss Emily Faithfull, of the Victoria Press, Great Corson-street. The highest temperature during yesterday, as shown by Negretti and Zambra's patent thermo- meters, was—in the nave, 71.1; in the galleries, 72.6. The thermometer in the galleries stood at • tem- perature of 10 degrees to a fraction higher than on Friday last, when the galleries were crowded.
