But this is perhaps more than is at pr sent to be expected or hoped for. The truth of the matter is, that the present proprietors, so lone as they retain the faintest hope of " making a good thing " out of their property, feel reluctant to allow other parties to come in for a share, and so are content to labour on utder their great and evident disadvan tages. Were this selfish feeling once got over, and British capitalists invited freely, and on liberal terms, to associate with the present holders of shares in the pursuit of one common interest, the probability is that the value of the ores exported yearly from South Australia would be from one and a half to two mil lions sterling, instead of only 250,0001. or 300,0001.

SIR ROBERT PEEL AND HIS TENANTRY. The following letter has been addressed by Sir Robert Peel to his tenantry: TO THE TENANT-FARMERS ON THE ESTATE OF SIR ROBERT PEEL I wish to communicate with you on the pr e sent state and the prospects of agriculture, so far as they concern our relations of landlord and tenant, and I know not that I could select any better mode of com munication than this which I have adopted. There can, I think, be no question that the effect of the recent changes of the law in respect to the free import of the main articles of subsis•eince, will oe to maintain a range of low prices in average sea sons, and to prevent very high prices in seasons of dearth. In other words, their - effect will be to ensure, so far as legislation can ensure it, cheapness and abundance of food as the ordinary rule—to diminish the risk of scarcity—and to mitigate the suffering from it, should it unfortunately occur. It is because I believe that this will be the effect of the changes to which I have referred, that I look upon them as irrevocable, and that I advise you to dismiss altogether from your calculations the prospect of renewed protection. It is my hrm persuasion that neither the present nor any future parliament will consent to re-impose duties upon the main articles of human food, either for the purpose of protection or of revenue. I would at once act upon that persuasion, and pro ceed to consider in what degree the free import of provisions affects the relation in which we stand to each other, if I did not believe that other causes, less permanent in their operation, have had • material influence upon the present value of agricultural pro duce. I allude in parti:ular to the general scarcity and high prices which recently prevailed for two or three successive years, not merely in this country, but throughout great part of Europe—to the extraordi nary stimulus thus given to production—and the na tural, consequence of that stimulus—a temporal and undue depression of price. I propose, therefore, to defer for a time that general review of the relation in which we stand to each other, which, bat for the circumstances to which I have referred, I would at once have undertaken. When undertaken, it will be upon principles which I think you will admit to be just. I shall not refer merely to the diminished price of one article or an other, but I shall take into the account all the consi derations which fairly enter into the question, shall try to estimate the effect of recent legislation and of improved means of conveyance, in reducing not only the price of produce, but the cost of production also —and shall compare the disadvantage to which the tenant-farmer may be exposed from competition with producers in other countries, with the benefit which he may derive, if he has ordinary skill and capital, from the abolition of duties on many articles, which are, or may be, profitably consumed on a farm. I do not undertake to make a general and indiscri minate abatement of rent, but, aided by good advice, I shall consider the special ewes a wash farm, and the circumstances under which it was entered upon; and in the instances in which I shall be satisfied that there is a fair claim for an abatement of rent, I will favourt, and make it with much greater pleasure in of an old and improving tenant, than in favour of a stranger. Although, as I have before observed, I do not con sider the present the suitable period for this general review of our position, yet I am prepared without delay to co-operate with you in preparing to meet, not foreign competition only, bet that competition with domestic skill and capital, which will be at least as formidable to those farmers who are insensible to the rapid progress of agricultural improvement, and neglect to keep pace with it. I have not the presumption to offer you advice as to the practical management of your farms; but I may try to impress upon you this truth, that if there be any of you who produce, on the h a not more than eighteen or twenty bushels of wheat per acre, and if there be other farmers who, in not more favoured positions, and on land of equal quality, produce forty—and if they produce this, not by expensive farming, but by yr economy— by the command of adequate capital—by the app li c ation of scientific skill—by the liberal employ ment of labour—by the saving of every patticle of ' manure, and the restoration to the earth of those eyes meats of fertility which are withdrawn with every crop—l may, I say, without presumption, try to im press upon you this truth, that there is no amount d protection from foreign produce, no abatement at rent, which would enable you to meet the competition of you own countrymen. To aid the exertions which are required to en counter successfully that competition, I make to you the following proposals : The rent doe at Michaelmas last will be payable, atmodi to custom, in the course of a fry days. In the c ng ue of all those tenants, occupying more than ten acres of land, who shall pay the Michael mas rent, and discharge any former arrears that may be doe, I will set apart 20 per cent. of the last half-year's rent, and will forthwith apply I the amount, under the general direction of my agent, I but in concert with the tenant, in such improve-I menu as may be most beneficial to the farm. I shall give the preference to drainage, to the removal of nn necessary fences, and to the means of preventing the I waste of manure. On this expenditure no return will be required from the tenant The irme course shall be taken with regard to the half year's rent, which shall be due at Lady-day next. 1 1 If upon any of your farms additional draining should be still requisite, I will execute the work upon the same terms as heretofore; the tenant I drawing the materials and paying 4 per cent. upon I the outlay. As to other permanent improvements, requiring an expenditure which the tenant cannot conveniently meet, but on which he may be willing to pay a reasonable rate of interest (such, for jemmies, as additional shedding for the feeding of cattle), I will consider favourably any propounds that may be made to me on that hea d It is hardly necessary to refer to leases of longer duration than one year, as they are so few in number In the cases, however, in which they do exist, I will commit to release th e tenant from his engagement, on his giving, at the proper period of the present year, the same notice which would be required in the case of yearly tenancies. Such tenancies are, as you are well aware, the almost invariable rule in this immediate neighbour hood; but if any of yon are desirous of expending money on the improvement of your farms, and wish for the additional 'scut ity of a lease for years, I have no disinclination to grant it, being satisfied as to the skill and capital of the tenant requiring it. If you prefer to a lease a written agreement, sti pulating for reimbursement on account of unex hammed improvements, on the principle long acted upon in certain districts, I am willing to enter into such agreement It does not occur to me that there are any other points to which it is necessary for me, for the present at least, to refer. I have thought it would be for your advantage that I should fully explain to you my views and intentions with regard to matters so deeply concerning your interes:s, and I hope I have done so in a spirit becoming the long connection that hes subsisted between us, and the friendly intercourse we have always maintained. Believe me, with every .o.d wish for your welfare, sincerely yours, ROBERT I EEL. Drayton Manor, Dec. 24, 1849. P.S. The payment of rent will be made as usual on t`.. Ist and 3rd of January, but as this notice will reach you only a short time previously, I will not ex clude from the benefit of it a tenant who may make all payments due by him within the period of one month following. THE NATIONAL FOCIETY AND THE COM. MITIES OF COUNCIL ON EDUCATION. The National Society has addressed the following letter to the secretary of the Committee' of Council on Edu cation: "National Society's Office, Dec. 11, 1849. "S am instructed by the Commi tee of the National Society to express to the Committee of Council on Education their conviction of the propriety of terminating their cone spondence on the subject of the management clauses. " The Committee of the National Society deeply regret the resolution finally adopted by the Committee of Council, to exclude from all share or the parliamentary grant for educa tion those church schools the promoters of which are unwilliner to constitute theft trust deeds on the model pre scribed by their lordship.. The committee ere by no meats insensible to the value of the modifications which have been adopted at their sugereatien ; but so lung as this resolution is maintained, they cannot acquiesce in the hope expressed by their lordships, that the most material causes of difference between the society and the Committee of Council are removed. The Committee of the National Society entered on the present negotiation from an earnest desire—a desire which they still retain—to act is concert with their lordships ; and, to secure this end, were reedy to acquiesce in any measure consistent with the principle which they have always main tained, th.et local views and feelings are to be studiously consulted. But since the committee now find, to their deep regret and disappointment, that if they are to cc-operate with their lordships in constituting school trusts, they must be prepared to set aside the general principle of local free dom, and to treat the proposed clauses as indispensable to the efficiency of all ceurca schoo:s, th. y consider themselves under the necessity of resuming their original position.

Lloyd, who mid he had been brought up to the medical profession, wee charged with having violently assaulted a catrdriver, and with refusing to pay his fare. R. A. Norton, a cabdriver, said, about three o'clock this morning, he was mauling with his cab on the rank in the Haymarket, when the prisoner asked him if he had a good horse. Witness replied that he bad, and the prisoner jumped upon the box, and directed him to drive where be ;deemed, as he wanted to ride. Witness drove the horse to Kensington, and on reaching the turnpike-gate the pritoner told him to turn round end drive to places where there were no tolls. Witness drove him to Brompton, and ultimately to Tottenham.courbrond. On arriving at that place, witness asked the p r isoner to pay his fare, which amounted to 51 . , and he refused to do so. The prisoner then used most din gusting language, sad struck him a violent blow behin d his ear, end which down. The prisoner then jumped „upon witness's hat a im nd literally smashed it, and struck witness a second blow upon the che,t. The prisoner denied that he ever went to Kensington or Brompton. He hired the cabman to take him from the Hay market to Tottenhani.court road, which he did, and he offered him a shilling for his fare. The cabman said he had several witnesses, who were not present, and they would prove the defendant was in the . constant hisbitof hiring calm, and directing the drivers to drive to di ff erent parts of the town, and afterwards refusing to pay the fare. Tee ashisaset wild he went into a pnblie-hotse with the cabman in Tottenkam-coutt-roao, arm wnite TUT* ne wu k n ocked down by some persons and robbed of his money. The small bone of his ankle of the left foot was broken in his fall, and he could no t p ut it to the ground. The gaoler said the foot appeared very much swollen. Mr. Jardine said the defendant should have had medical advice directly on his being taken to the station Mouse. The defendant said he asked for a surgeon to examine his foot, but they refused to call one. Mr. Jardine said be should not dispose of this case, but direct a constable to take the defendant home, aid obtain his real name and address, so that the cabman might take out a summons for the assault. The defendant, who seemed very reluctant to allow the constable to go with him, ultimately gave the cabman is. 6d. in lieu of all demands, and Mr. Jardine then permitted him to leave the court by himself. W ORSIIIP• ST REST. ABILCOLT AT TIER ALBanERT threatening to stab J. White. The complainant stated that yesterday evening he was on duty in the Albert Saloon, when in the course of the per formances the prisoner who was in the body of the theatre left his seat , jumped into the stalls, and from there on to the stage, where he immediately. begun dancing, and exhibiting a variety of antics. Complement went up end ordered him to go away. He refused, and said that "if he (eom plainant) attempted to move him he would stab hien." Complainant seeing that he was putting his hand in his waistcoat pocket, seized hold of him. u pon which a clatp - knife tell on the stag v e. The hones was in great confusion in conaequence of theviolence of the pr i son er. Complainant, after a severe struggle, got his away and gave him into custody. The prisoner denied the charge.

Tte non-arrival of the Dutch and Belgian mails to day prevents us giving our usual report of the conti nental bourses. Letters from Palermo of the 15th, mention that a royal decree was about to be published, imposing a duty on the export of sulphur of two tans per eantar. No farther particulars bad transpired, nor was it known when the duty was to take effect, whether immediately or a month or two hence. The exchange on London was 57; for 90 days. After a lapse of years, the imperial board of babel at St. Petersburg has published in the Russian lan guage only a report of the foreign trade of the em pire in its various branches. The latest statement le for the year 1846, from which it appears that the total valise of the imports was 86,995,789 silver rubles, and the exports 102,714,778 silver rubles, making a total of 189,710,567 silver rubles, or about 2t,25(.,0001. Acording to the latest official returns published of the foreign trade of Sweden, it appears on the ave rage of three years, ending 1846, that the total &a erial value of imports was 20,103,333 Swedish dollars Basco. and the exports 23,646,667, making a total of 43, - 50,000 Swedish dollars Banco, or about 3,600,0001. sterling. These returns are commented on in the GO theaorg's Handela Mining wherein the writer laments I the unimportant position that Sweden holds compare-' lively with other European commercial nations. This is ascribed to the attempt to foster native industry sad maiufactures, by imposing high and unreasonable dunes on foreign products and fabrics, thereby mai ficisg an important and lucrative foreign trade, and prerentiog Sweden from availing herself of her highly favourable maritime situation, as well as many other neural resources, which a more enlightened policy world develop to the great advantage of the country and the revenue. The value of the trade of Bremen for the years 1847 and '4B is thus computed. The value of the imports into Bremen in 1847 was by sea 19,895.000 L'dor dollars, and by land 14,340,399 dollen; making, a total of 34,435,399 dollars L'dor. The exports by sea 13,854,403 dollars, and by land 16,021,804 dollars; I making a total of 31,873,209 dollars. The total of exports and impors together was 66,310,608 dollars, L'dor, or about 10,800,0001. sterling. In 1848 the value of the imports by sea was 11,256,233 dollars, and by land 13,889,587, making a total of 27,175,840 dollars. The exports were by sea 11,921,937, and by land 10,418,131, making a total of 22,340,088 dollars. The total of exports and imports for the year was 49 515,928 dollars L'dor, cr in round numbers 8,000,0001. sterling. There are not, we believe, any official statements published of the value of the import and export trade of the countries comprised within the Zollverein ; but taking the market value of the goods, of which the quantities are given, we obtain the following results for the years 1843 and 1846, the latest published: — The total value of all descriptions of goods, both duty free and subject to duty, introduced in 1845, was 219,693,099 Prussian dollars, and the exports 178,035,630 dollars, making a total of 397,728,849 Prussian dollars, or about 69,000,000/. rerling. In 1846 were introduced 221,488,812 dollars, and 170,764,480 dollars were exported, making a total of 392,253,292 Pruesiau dollars, or about 58,000,000/. sterling. The value of the goods which passed Os transitis was in 1845 63,792,118 dollars, and in 1846 69,915,378 dollars making an average on the two years of about 10,000,0001. sterling. The latest official statements of the value of the foreign trade of Austria, which enable us to give the average of three years, end with the returns of 1846. The annual average of the value of imports fur that period was 119,170,281 florins, and the exports 107,660,506 florins, making a total of 226,830,787 florins or golden silver, equal to about 20,620,0001. sterling. It is necessary to observe, that the foreign trade of Hungary is not included in the above esti mate. We must also point out that these valuations are according to a tariff, which exceeds considerably, as was the case in France last year, the actual market value of the goods; but as, owing to high import duties, and prohibitions, smuggling . into Austria is carried on to en enormous extent, it is not improbable that the actual value of the foreig . n trade may on the aggregate exceed the amount given in the official returns. The list advices from Adelaide inform as, that since the amalgamation of the two Port of Adelaide Rail way Companies at Adelaide, nothing u to their move ments had transpired. The attention of the joint committee has been duetted to the details of the line. From the constitution of the board of management it is to be inferred that the interests of the colonists will aot be made subservient to those of the London constituency. We have been enabled to procure an accurate state ment, showing the amount of the produce of the South Australian mines shipped from Port Adelaide during the season 1848-9. From this it appears that the total amount of copper ore so exported was 15,598 tons, of which 13,745 tons were sepplitd from the Burrs Burrs mine alone, and 944 tons from the Kapunda, the small remaining export being the pro duce of six other mining companies. The total ship ments of lead ore during the same period were 300 tons. Taking the copper ore as averaging 201. per ton, and the lead ore at 101., these shipments would yield in this country 314,9601. B leut perhaps thists average may be thought too high ;t us then l the copper ore at 161. per ton and the lead at 81., and we shall still have as the gross returns of these ship ments, spreading over a single year 250,198/. This, it must not be forgotten, is principally the produce of one mine, the Burrs Burrs. Some idea may thus be formed of the vast amount of wealth contained in the soil of this colony and requiring only energy and skill for its extraction to an almost incalculable extent. The large amount of produce obtained from the Burrs Burrs, is to be ascribed to the extensive deposits of ore found so near the surface of that mine originally, and from which the proprietors have been enabled to work it with so much success. But, j u d g ing from the extent and richness of the mineral beds, it is utterly inconceiva ble that many of the other mines will not eventually, sad perhaps speedily, turn out highly prodoct . ,ve un dertakings. Tint they . bare out hitherto done so, the Kapunda excepted, is mainly to be attributed to want of ea tat to work them, and to the petty taster of of th e operations.

I article; from the annexed monthly statement of prices of 100 good ordinary native Ceylon, which may be termed the eon - toe sols of the market (regulating ell other descriptions), it will be be seen that an unusual advance has taken place. The 25 lowest price of the year was 30s. Gd. to 31s. 61. in June , the 121: highest 04s. to 641. Gcl., the present quotation. It would api 10 pear that a very large speculation was entered into some time •• since. The purchases in Holland and Hamburg have been im- 20 moose, and were frequently anticipatory of an advance in our 25 market. The prices in Holland have advanced from 18 1 3,1 to 32 cents. during the yea r, but at the moment the fa- 7 0 reign markets seem to watch the progress of the Lon- 24 don market; very large operations have taken place the last 2e tkree mouths, and, as frequently happens, there appears to be 20 i mar. confidence in present rates than when they were twenty 14, per cent. lower. Toe foundation of the speculation was L t , ' that the stock on band in Europe ha d d mineshed much be- kj, low par, and that the next year's importation would not be • adequate to the consumption, and time only will decide this point. Added to this, the cheapness of money and the sue- 40 cess that has hitherto attended this speculation encourages 20 4 operators to go on, and we may yet see higher prices. 20 Prices of good ordinary native Ceylon for the year 1849 : Kt.

There was very little English Wheat fresh up for this morning's market, whether by land-carriage samples from Essex or Kent, or arrivals from the coast, and factors endea voured to establish a slight advance in prices, but the demand was of too limited a character to admit of it, and prices both . of English and foreign were unaltered from Monday last. 6 Holders of foreign evinced mo re firmness than of late, and so MY evido ntly dispomd to take their Wheat to granary rather 15 than submit to lower rates. Fine malting Barley fully sup si ported previous rates; but secondary finalities of malting and all descriptions of grinding and distilling Barley were easier U to purchase. Oats moved of blowhole the currency of 13 Monday. Beans unaltered in value. Wilts bailing l'ess 7 could hardly be bought so well as at the beginning of the 2 0 week.
