A GREAT MEETING Will he held at Paris, between the Ist and 9th of June next, to which, for the first time, foreign live stock will be admitted. Among the classes open for competition to British ex • hibitors there are premiums for short-horns amounting to 1801., and for any other breeds of cattle, to 2241. ; for Leicester and other long-woolled sheep, to 2251. for South-downs and short-wools, 1121.; for swine, 961. Medals will, in addition, be given with the different money premiums—of gold with the first, silver with the second, and bronze with the others. The ex penses for conveying stock, after passing the French frontiers, will be repaid; general arrangements will be made for housing and feeding in Paris during the whole time of the exhibition, and when it is over, those animals which are not intended to be sent back will no doubt find an easy sale at the auction which will take place. The duties payable on animals entering France are now reduced to 2s. 11d. on oxen, and 2id. on sheep. THE prospectus has been issued of the Tergrove Mining Company, formed for the purpose of develop ing a mineral property in Croatia, obtained by a concession from the Austrian Government. The capital is to be 50,0001., in shares of 21. 10s. Between 1842 and 1816 the Austrian Government tested the district at an expense of 30,0001., and obtained a report which led to arrangements being made for active proceedings, copper and lead ore of considerable value having been brought to surface. The works were suspended on account of the Hungarian war, and the resolution has since been adopted, per mitting the enterprise to be carried on by private bands. aftarktts.
