The property comprises 290 acres of freehold land with the minmaL, and was obtained direct from the crown in the year 1259, by local adventurers, who subscribed • limited capital, which was expended in the purchase of the land and the necessary mining plant, leaving a balance of only 1.300 to com mence operations. Three %hafts are already sunk to the respec tive depths of 8, 12, and 25 fathoms, and several distinct copper lades and lead. bftaing crosscourves discovered. From oar or two of the former 940 tons of copper ore have been raised and transmitted to this country, and sold at Swansea, by public ticketing+, between February 14, MOD, and June 10, 1862, the per tentage of which for pure copper averaged 24, and realised the sum of £18,509 Ca. 91., as la evidenced by the following transcript of the ticket sales thereof : l 0 addition to which, about 109 tons of rich lead ore have been obtained from a cross course, and sold for £837. A further parcel of 100 thus of copper ore is advised al the port, ready for shipment. Altogether the clear profit during the two years was £3,500, on the initial work ing capital of £2OO, exclusive of the purchase as aforesaid. The opthana at the mines are continued, and the yield of ore In creases as the works prowess, so that proportionate receipts may be antlapated. The copper ore was consigned to Messrs. Wm.

LINDSAY'S Motion having suffered a fifth and final expurgation, made its appearance in the House last night, in spite of an appeal from the Member for Hull, founded on the canards of the Liverpool Exchange, which came to life so conve niently in the afternoon. Reduced to a single paragraph, the Motion suggested merely that the Seceded States had entitled themselves to the serious and immediate attention of her MAJESTY'S Government, with the view of terminating hostili ties by an offer of mediation. The expression of rea diness to support her Ms.irsry in "any measures" she might adopt to put an end to the civil war in America had dropped out of the Resolution alto gether ; but it is simple justice to the mover to remark that the animus of the first draft of his Resolution survived in the last. For the end of all the lengthy and rambling survey of the political constitution and geography of the United States, the causes of the civil war, and the consequences of its continuance, in which Mr. LINDSAY disported himself, and aired his information, showed that justice and mercy were both with the South, and that the wise men of the North were tacitly waiting for England and some other European Power to help her by moral force, "or otherwise," out of a dreadful scrape. This was the sum and substance Of Mr. LINDSAY'S interminable farrago of cheap statistics and private letters, received " only this " morning." The rest of it wu nothing but s deooction of SPINCI, flavoured with extracts from the New York Herald. Mr. LINDSAY, in order, as he said, to avoid irritation, favoured the House with a statement of the rights and wrongs of the North and South, such u Mr. MASON of Vir ginia might endorse ; yet all he demanded her Dissserv's Government Irma to present Weahingtou an offer of mediation, breed upon the f~ determination and ability of the Seceded States to support their independence, and at Richmond an offer of mediation based upon the military insufficiency of the United States. It was the most opportune moment for obtaining the opinion of the House of Commons on the whole American question, when the stormy petrels were not only brooding on the deep, but actually coming up the Mersey and the Thames. Nothing, he said, could increase the exasperation of the Northern States against England, so that nothing was gained by silence on this side of the Atlantic, while private letters from the other aide besought England to rush in between the combatants, and divert to herself their mutual blows. If, how ever, this offer of mediation between the irrecon cilable combatants should be declined, then re cognition of the Seceded States and an injunction to the Union to put an end to the war would follow. Neither Mr. Lninaiy, who extolled the civil and military capacities of the South, nor Lord ADOLPHUS VANS TZAIPLICY, who went in for moral and something more than moral interne tion, nor Mr. Warming, who dilated on the pre- Andante of Greece, Belgium, and the Spanish colonies, and Portugal two hundred years ago, informed the House on what terms short of per fect separation of the Seceded States, that is, of the very disunion against which the United States are up in arms, the proposed mediators should nego tiate, or what rectification of frontiers in favour of the revolted States, which at present have none, should be secured by the mediators who are so anxi ously expected by the North. Only, by way of making the proposed mediation more palatable to one at least of the contending parties, Mr. LINDSAY ; whose singleness of purpose is sadly undiploma tic, avowed his belief that whether in regard of the commercial or political interests of England, the American Union as it had heretofore existed was too large. The Member for Sunderland's frankness is engaging, no doubt ; but, as Mr. W. E. Irony= powerfully and convincingly argued, an offer of mediation with such a purpose and such a commentary, was equivalent to a declara tion of war. All the speakers for the recognition and establishment of the Southern Confederacy, —for that is the only meaning of mediation—were profuse in expressions of sympathy for the suffering and distress which the civil war among our kinsmen across the ocean has brought home to the hearths of thousands of the sturdiest and bravest of our own fellow-countrymen. This sympathy, we are persuaded, was heartfelt and sincere, but it would have taken a more practical turn had it been accompanied with some precise indications of the relief which an act of mediation, resulting in the recognition of the Southern Confederacy, or an act of intervention resulting in war, would be likely to afford to capital and labour in Lancashire. Mr. P. Tevios, in a speech marred only by the generous infirmity of a style somewhat too impassioned for his audience, answered Mr. LINDSAY'S well-worn fallacies on the subject of slavery and tariffs, with a boldness and a fervour that raised the tone of the debate, but his most effective passage was that in which he compared the sufferings which the civil war had laid upon us already with those which forcible intervention to put an end to it would entail upon our industry and commerce for years to come. Mr. W. E. FORSTER, with his usual clearsightedness and sobriety of judgment, discerned the growing danger of such vexatious Resolutions. Declining to give utterance, as an English Member of Parliament, to loose opinions on the policy of the American Government, he asked how peace between the North, fighting for union, and the South for disunion, was attain able through a friendly mediation of which the sole object was separation. And he warned the supporters of the Resolution that "if they wished " the war to be prosecuted in a vigorous manner " they could not attain their end in a more in " genious way than by an offer of mediation " such as that contemplated by the Motion." " No less than 300,000 men," he added, "are " wanted by President LINCOLN ; and if we want 300,000 men to be found, all we have to do is to send out intelligence by the next mail that " England, in concert with other Powers, threatens " the North with interference. If we wish "to work up the North to the same pitch of " frenzy as the South, let us offer them foreign " interference." The truth of these emphatic warnings was strikingly confirmed, before the House had adjourned for the night, by the telegraphic in te"igence which we publish this morning. It ap pears that the Mayor of New York has issued a proclamation to the effect that the services of all loyal citizens are demanded, sot only to put down the rebellion, but also repel with becoming sy:rit the first approach of foreign intervention, obscurely threatened, which cannot be admitted without national disgrace. Another of Mr. W. E. FORSTER'S warnings is already, almost to the letter, justified. " Three months after inter ference the negroes would be so many " sepoys in the Northers army." And here by the last telegrams we hear of the New York Times urging " that in case of foreign intervention "Southern negro regiments should be raised." So that the too zealous friends of the South, and the i'l-disguised advocates of a good fat maritime war, are not so much aiding and abetting slave holders as sowing the seeds of a servile massacre. Her Marzsrr's Government, however, we rejoice to be able once more to assure our readers, are not mystified by Mr. WHITESIDE'S international law, nor duped by Mr. LINDSAY'S horror of blockades. In language more than usually calm and judicious the Finer Misurrza declared last night, in substance, that the time for mediat 4 on had not yet come, and that mediation to be free from danger must be asked for by those who accepted it, and removed from all taint of prejudice and partiality in those who offered it.

Captain Wilkes has been appointed to the com mand of the James River flotilla. Two Confederate gunboats and one ram are re ported in Mobile Bay. . . __ ... Ten thousand Confederates are below Mobile on the Shell road. The inhabitants are sanguine that the city could not be taken. General Bragg is reported to be at Lupello with 40,000 Confederates. The New York press continue to urge upon the government more rapid and more extensive war preparations of every description by land and sea. The Mayor of New York has issued a proclama tion, saying that the country demands the services of all loyal persons not only to put down the rebel lion, but also to repel with becoming spirit the first approach of foreign intervention, obscurely threat ened, which cannot be admitted without national disgrace. The New York Times urges that in case of foreign intervention Southern negro regiments should be raised. The Tariff Bill, which has been reported to the Senate, raises the duty on all spirits, except brandy, to 50 cents per gallon. The duty on iron is also increased.

A popular demonstration took place at Venice on receipt of tho news of the recognition of Italy by Russia. The authorities were uneasy at the attitude of the population. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day General Durand° announced the official recognition of the Kingdom of Italy by Prussia. The minister stated that on Monday next King William will receive an ambassador notifying the proclamation of the kingdom. A letter from Vichy, of the 186, says :—" The Emperor pares his time in nearly the lame manner as last year.

(FROM 001 OWN i PARIS, FRIDLT &LIMO. Although you will have received the news by telegraph, I think it material to record at the head of a Paris correspondence the considerable fact that the Princess Clothilde, daughter of the King • of Italy and wife of Prince Napoleon—the next heir but one to the imperial throne of France—has given birth to a son at the Palace of St. Cloud. This event occurred at 6 o'clock this morning. The ac- 1 couchement of the princess was singularly happy ; her sufferings only lasted forty minutes, and she is now doing extremely well. The Empress's mother, the Countess of Montijo, is expected in Paris shortly. The Gironde of Bordeaux hints that Prince Louis of Baden, who has taken service with the French army in Mexico, may possibly be put forward as a candidate for the throne of that country. Prince Louis is the brother of the reigning Grand Duke of Baden, and a near relation of the Emperor Napoleon through the Princess Stephanie nee Beauharnais, with whom the Emperor's constant intimacy is an historical fact. A Marseilles letter in the Massager du Midi states that General Lobceuf, one of the Emperor's aides de-camp, has embarked for Rome, and that he is supposed to have a mission. The evening papers say that the departure of General Forey for Mexico "appears to be ad journed," but they have told so many falsehoods about the expedition that it is impossible to know what the announcement means. The speeches in defence of the 54 conspirators were brought to an end to-day, and the court has announced that it will give judgment to-morrow. M. Ferry, one of the counsel who spoke towards the end of the debate, denounced in stronger terms than any of his ooadjutors the odious character of the evidence, which he said "stunk" of spies from beginning to end. Apostrophizing the govern ment, he said, "You fetter the press because you pretend that the working classes are liable to be misled by it, and at the same time you enoourage a swarm of spies to buzz sedition in their ears. You substitute for liberty of thought the most shameful liberty of provocation" (an untranslatable word, meaning the well-known system of getting up plots by paid spies, who afterwards inform against their accomplices). The Abbd Sisson, who, as editor of the Anti de la Religion, attempted for • long while the difficult task of separating the catholic religion from the retrograde civil policy advocated by the Monde, and was ultimately beaten in the struggle, and driven out of the field of journalism, has just been appointed by the Archbishop of Paris to a very humble rectory at Antony, near &sans. The Bourse was more deserted than it has yet been this summer. All the principal speculators are away. The Rente, in which extremely little business was done, closed, with a rise of Sc. both for money and account, at 68fr. 30e. and 68fr. 35c. In other securities there was very little change. The Italian Loan fell Sc. A robbery of 35,000 fr. was committed the day before yesterday at the residence of M. Tolstoy, secretary of the Russian Embassy, Avenue Mon taigne. The house being unoccupied by the family at this moment, the thieves obtained admission by forcing open one of the doors. An inquiry is being pursued by the authorities. THE WAR IN CHINA. Last night's Oazette contains several despatches which have been received at the War-office from Brigadier- General Staveley, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's troops in China, on the subject of the war with the rebel in that country. Detailed accounts are given of the capture of Taerpo, Hading Tsing-poo, and Najeor, also the forces engaged and the lints of casualties, which are very light. The following agreement an to measures to be taken for the protection of Bhatighae was entered into on the 264 h April, between Sir James Rope, Beigadier-Qeneral Btaveley, and the French Admiral Protet. Ist. That it is neoessary, for the defence of Shanghae, to occupy Kadlng, Tsing-poo, Sung-Keoug, Najecw, and Taw lie, by which means a district of country will be secured sufficient in extent to afford the supplies requisite for the support of its numerous population, and to keep the rebels at a distance which will preclude the continuance of that state of alarm which has presaged during the last few months, and which has been so detrimental to its cow -1 mere.. god. Colonel Ward at present occupies Sung-Ksong, and he undertakes, as soon as Tsing-poo is taken, to establish his head-qusztersithere and to hold it. The Chinese authorities have undertaken, and will be required, to furnish sufficient garrisons for Kadin, Walser, and Tsto-lia. in each of the two first of which it will also be expedient to place two hundred troops, half English and half French, in support of the Cbioese, until Colonel Ward's force is sufficiently seg mented to enable him to replace them by three hundred of his men. _ . 3rd. Previous to the captors of Kading and the other towns from the rebels, proper arrangement* shall be made to prevent any men leaving their ranks for the purpose of pillage; and subsequently, to collect whatever may be of value, in order to its fair distribution amongst the troops, to whom the same is to be made known before the commencement of the operations. 4th. After the proposed operations have been brought to a successful conclusion, it is intended to retain at Sinuighae 500 French infantry, and of English, a half battery of artil lery, 250 European and 350 native infantry. Despatches have also been received at the Admiralty from Sir James Hope relating to the capture of Toing-poo and Najaor, near Shanghse, from the rebels. It wan at the taking of the latter place that Admiral, Prot4t fell at the bald of his men. Our loss was bat trifling. Tax McruicAt. SYISTEM.—The select committee on weights and measures, presided over by Mr. William Ewart., and on which Mr. Cobden his been an active mem ber, Dave arrived at an almost unanimous conclusion that the best course to adopt is gradually to introduce the metrical system. They think the first step should be simply to render it permissive in this country. No com pulsory measures should be resorted to until they are sanctioned by the general conviction of the public. They also express an opinion that a decimal system of money should be, as nearly as possible, concomitant with • decimal system of weights and measures. They recommend that • department of weights and measures should be established under the Board of Trade, and that to this department should be confided the gradual introduction of the metrical system. The govern ment should require its employment in their contracts, in the amounts of the customs and excise duties; thus fami liarising it among our merchasits and manufacturers. It should form • part of the competitive examinations for the civil service. The gramme might be used as a weight for foreign letters and books at the post. office. The Committee of Council on Education should be authorised to furnish schools with the means of giving instruction in the metrical system, and of teaching decimals earlier and more completely. Ia the public statistics of the country, quantities might be expressed in the terms of the metrical system in juxtaposi tion with those of oar owe. In any new acts of parlimireat relathig to weights end measures, the change introducing ebernlii be confined to, or connected with, the metrical system.

His Honour gave judgment in this caw, in which th e question cbiedy kraal on the validity of an assignment t o the Commercial Bank of London, represented by the -bazaar, of among other things two policies of et stuanos in the Victoria Life-office. Thee" policies b e d been taken out by Durdin, the fraudulent clerk, who 'I A subsequently prosecuted to conviction. and by him assign e d to the bank after the discovery of his frauds, but before his conviction. The alleged consideration was the claim of th e bank wink Durdin in respect of the monies of which he had robbed them. The policies were claimed in opposition to the bank by the defendant Beylis, Durdin's solicitor, to whom the policies bad been handed by Durdin. The crown also claimed them, as forfeited by Durdin's convic tion. Catkin real estate had also been conveyed to the bank for the same consideration', and was now claimed by other persons. In giving judgment, his Honour said the law mussel to be —lst, that a person after the commission of felony, t ot before conviction, might sell or assign personal monody for value ; secondly, that a debt owing by such person at the time of the assignment formed a good considerttiou for it; thirdly, that such and all assignment must be bona Me, and out merely colourable ; fourthly, that after the discovery of the felony and until conviction all civil remedies against the person charged with felony were suspended in order that the dignity otter law might be vindicated by the criminal prosecution ; and, lastly, it was immaterial by whon, such prosecution was carried on. His Honour then applied those propositions to the facts of this case, and was of opinion that there was a valid consideration for the assignment to the keit. The money taken by [audio from the bank co. stituted a debt doe from him to the bank, and it was clear that a person robbed might recover his property from the thief, or damages in compensation. It was not for this court to discuss the narrow distinctions which bad been taken between tort and felony, and ail and criminal wrongs, which were near together. The prin. ciples regulating them applied equally to chattels and money, and the only question, therefor*. was whether there was a valid assignment here. No written document we neessiary to such assignment, all that wee requisite was proof of intention to assign. His Honour then referred to a letter written by Durdin before be beaded the polich • to Baylis, to the assurance office, directing them to take notice of his wish to transfer the policies to the bank. This was a good assignment, and therefore gave the bank priority over Baylis as to the policies. As to the real estate the same considerations applied, and, as the bank had acquired the legal estate therein, his Honour held them entitled to the y.

THR ATTORNIT-01120:11AL. Botevirate AND OTHERS lIITEarILVING.—LIOOMMACr. Sir H. Cairns, Q.C., Mr. Forsyth, Q. 0., Hr. Hence Lloyd, and Mr. Everett appeared for the petitioner; Mr. Hanna, with the Attorney-General, Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q.C., Dr. PhMinaore, Q.C., and Mr. H. Mathews for the interveners. This was a petition under the Leetimacy Declaration Act, presented by Mr. John August Shiel Bouverie, of Cattle %wain, Londonderry, and praying for declaration that he was the lawful eon of Mr. Francis Reclaim Bouverie. The petition was resisted by members of the Bouverie family in Northamptonshire. Sir H. Cairns, in opening the case, said that for many years there bad been settled at Delapre Abbey, in North. amptonshire, a younger branch of the &reverie family, the head of which was Lord Radaer. Mr. Edward Bonverie, the owner of the property in the hit century, had four daughters and four sons, the third of whom war Mr. Francis Keoelm %averts, who was born at the Abbey on the 19th of November, 1797. He was educated at Oxford, and afterwards entered the army. In 1826 he wee with a detachment of his regiment, the 62nd, at • pleos called Castle Dawson, then a town of some importance in the north of Ireland. In this town there lived a widow, with an only daughter, named Shiel. Her hurbond was the son of a physician in the neighbourhood, and he had been possessed of a property which had gone over under an entail to bit brother Mr. Jelin Aimmkr. Shiel. Lieutenant Eouverie berm* acquainted with the Shish, and an attachment soon sprang up between him mad the young lady. They became engaged to each other, and the match was in every way a suitable one. Her age was about M, and hie about 28. He had at that time no Mamma but his pay, and an allowance of 100/. a year from his father ; whereas Miss Staid had a eettletneat of 4,C301. which had been left her by her grandfsther. The young couple were married by the Rev. Mr. Vasty, at the church of the parish in which %elle Daween win situated, namely Magerafelt. The family of the lady, sad Mr. Bonverie's brother James (who afterwards became colonel of the 17th Regiment), were present at the ere ,' mony. For some months they lived at the beam of Mn. Shiel, and then the detach meat to which Lieutenant &Mira belonged removed to Enniskillen, where they stayed fat about a year. Thence they removed for another year to Cavan, where Lieutenant Bouverie obtained his cesapny. He then sold out, and returned to Castle Dawns& A correspondence was kept up between Lientemat Bowline and his family. The learned counsel reed an affectionately-worded letter from Mrs. Bourerie, his mother, dated November, 18J6, wishing joy to her eon and her daughter-in-taw, on the return of the 19th and 20th—" the two most eventful days of their live(' as she termed them, they having beep her son's birthday and wedding-day. In this letter Mrs. Bouverie gave (by. tam Bouverie the love of her daughter Caroline, who with her eldest brother and her two surviving sisters now opposed the petition. In 1832 Mrs. Bowene had a still-bore ttter ; and on the 12th of July, 1836, she was again cos- On this occasion she gave birth to • boy, who received the name of hie maternal great uncle, Mr. Jobs Augustus Shiel being at that time regarded as the heed d hie mother's family. The child was always regarded by hi father with the utmost affection, and at his (Ceptal Bouverie's) death ea the 19th of September, 1857, be cow weeded it to the care of his family. The jury sight row perhaps 1/020er how the case came before them at all! At first he (Sir H. Cairns) had felt the same difficulty, for as infotmation could be derived from the pleadings, which seemed have been formed on the principle of denying every. thing. They denied the marriage of the petitioorell father ; sod they denied both the birth of the still-bon daughter, and the birth of the boy. There bad be= however, a commission to examine withers' la Ireland, and he found by that means what was the real meaning of the suit. Although Captor Bonverie had lived on terms of the greatest affection with his wife, there was • period when that harmony was for I few days interrupted. She war unfortunately induced gentleman named Bell to aceocapairy him to Liverpool. Captain Souvenir was greatly distressed at the occurreace. He procured a warrant for his wife's detention, sad sent • trusty person after the fugitives. The step he took were snomesful ; and in ten days she returned to her husband's house.

At Tunbridge Wells the prince received a hearty welcome, which he graciously acknowledged, from many of the prin cipal inhabitants and visitors, who were at the station and its approaches on his arrival and departure. A letter from Darmstadt of the 15th says :—" The Prince and Prince• Louis have not appeared much in pub lic since their arrival, bat to-day they were present on horseback at the cavalry rams. Her royal highness won all hearts by her amiability of manner, and by the graceful management of her steed."

The duchess, after the banquet, bad an as sembly, at which nearly 1,000 foreigners of distinction and leading members of the aristocracy congregated. Visitors began to arrive at 10 o'clock, and it was long after midnight when the carriages ceased to set down. The noble picture gallery and all the principal saloons were thrown open and most brilliantly illuminated. A large number of beautiful flowers were tastefully arranged on the staircase and several apartments. We (Times) have much pleasure in announcing that Baron Itothachild,M.P., who has been for the last fort night suffering from a malignant affection of the throat, which at one time assumed • dangerous character, is now (+revelment. It is not probable, however, that he will be able to resume his attendance in parliament during the pre sent session. AB an acknowledgment of the distinction aed munificent hospitality with which be was received on the occasion of his recent visit to Liverpool, his Highness Said Paths, Viceroy of Egypt, has transmitted to his worship the mayor of that town (Mr. Robert Hutchison), • magni tont gold snuff-box. It is set with brilliants, and is made to rest on • basement of exceedingly fine malachite, and, as • whole, is • bijou of great beauty as well as of high value. A religious service is to take place on Wednesday beak in Westminster Abbey, to celebrate the departure of the mission to Honolulu. The appointment of the bishop and his coadjutors originated, it will be remembered, in an application of the King of Hawaii to our Queen and the Archbishop of Canterbury more than a year ago. Her Ma jelly has been pleased to accept the offioe of sponsor to the son of the King at the baptism of the infant prime, which is to be the first official act of the bishop on his arrival. The mission staff will at first consist of the Diehop and three clergymen, one of whom has already gone out by way of Bntish Columbia in charge of the female emigrants on board the Tynemouth.

Sir Rutherford Alcoa, her Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary is Japan, has preparatioa (nye the Literary Budget) a narrative of his three years' masses among the Japanese. it will appear in two volumes, copiously illustrated with maps and pic tures. The misunderstanding between Mr. Boucicault and Mr. Webster, we (A then/rum) regret to find, still non tizzies. The former supplied the Adelphi with the menu. script and murk of Vie Colleen Bairn, when Mr. Webster had announced ,it for performance at the Adelphi on the name evening with its representation at Drury-lane ; but the latter refuses admission, either to Mr. or Mrs. Bowl omit, to the Adelphi Theatre, notwithstanding the con tinuance of the partnership. The Vine-Chancellor, it is stated, will be spin appealed to; Mr. Boocicault having amended his bill which is now in court. The Era observes that the great influx of foreigners and provincials, by creating audiences that enjoy with the relish of novelty entertainments that have long been familar to the metropolitan playgoer, will probably enable managers of the London theatres to sustain the run of their respective attractions to the doss of the Exhibition mason. The Colleen Baum at Drury-hum, Lord Dundreary at the Haymarket, Mr. Charles Haan at the hincesa's, The Peep o' Dap at the Lyceum, Mr. Robson at the Olympia, comedy at the St. James's, farce and extravaganza at the Stroud, operettas at Sedler's Walls, the Shaisperian drama at the Surrey, and equestrian drama at /Utley's, are nightly furnishing abundant autumns/at.
