The above operations of the now celebrated Vigra and Cllogau Company, situate near Dolgelly, Merionethshire, :showing the results of 191 months' workinr prove the ex istence of gold in th e quartz reefs of North Wales " in such quantity and richness as to be largely remunerative. The ab ove Company, alth ough it has been in operation less than two years, has yielded in profits more than double its ori ginal outlay, and is at the present moment making returns annually at a rate approaching three 'times the amount of its capital, from operations on a very limited scale, and by processes which are, no doubt, capable of great improve /neut. This Company is established for the purpose of carrying out o perations on a very large scale, and by the best known Methodet of extraction, and the directors have secured a po surrounding itnines imniediately contiguos to, and alrfkost the famous Clogau Gold Mine; they erdhsist of the Cambrian, the North Vigra, the Wellington, the Hendreforion setts, ce,mprising an extent of upwards of 1,500 acres, and abounf!ting in 'magnificent quarta_lodes. 7.lyhich are in appeara•nce identical with the Clogau gold 10 de, and may be -prmounced to be inexhaustible. h ave bee The mn ines have b een opened, and important discoveries mad e. In the Cambrian are several lodes already have been ci prov e d to cor;tem gold, and levels to a considerable extent tons of Aven upon them, opening up many thousand Within q Ar tz. Rich visible gold has been broken there l argo i 1 ,va last few days. Buildings, stamps, machinery, a arg e . rater-wheel, dressing floors, tramways, and other „,., 413 ,,P"' Aces, have been constructed at a lare expenditure, F o `t, Alt least three years' time has been hereby . saved. The or . ,, ce Apany is thus enabled to commence active operations at .„, The Dire c t ors h ave availed themselves of the presence !in - Ariglau c l of Captain Thomas Treloar (late Chief Captain of 'the St. John del Rey Company), to obtain hi s va l uable 'opinion on th e several properties, and th e y re f er w i th satis faction to his report, as bearing out their expectations of successful results. In the W e lli ng t on and North Vigra Mines, levels have b een driven on large lodes, which Captain Treloar has pro f„,t,cunced as identi ca l i n c h aracter with the quarts of the St. Dav id's Gold Lode, and this is confirmed by the opinion of !lie,other competent authorities, including Captain Parry, of *Vigra and Clogau Mines, and Captain Pascoe, who all 'eiYak that one of the lodes now working on the North Vigra is a co ntinuation of that now famous lode. No steam power will be required. The property possesses an unfailing supply of water amply sufficient for all pur- Piee s, and everything is in so'fo rwar d a state that the Cora sy will be abl e to stamp at the rate of 70 to 100 t ons o f g ll kriz per week within one month from its formation. The Di rectors have made arrangements to purchase the Qitire interests of the several proprietors, embracing all pre- Nious outlay on the mines, wed every expense up to the for- Mation of the Company, am', including buildings, machinery, stamps, waterwheels, tramways, watercourses, ore upon aurface, &c., upon thr j „25,000, and 25,000 following terms, viz. :—The sum of slares with £1 paid, which the vendors have stipulated to b.ave appropriated to them. That on nearly one thousand tons of quartz crushed by the Vi gra and r i.; l ..ogau Company, an average o f nearly 71 oz. of standard g ) 01,c1 per ton has b een o bt a i ne d , i s an indisput able fact ; f/v.t it would be too sanguine to expect a result so favourable. ,on the large scale of operations contemplated by ! tiliB C°f rspany. Yet the Directors feel bound to call atten been r ion to `araother fact, viz., that a profit of nearly.Eloo,ooo has dari• Mother by the St. John del Rey Company, in Brazil, ire,.,_ ay, the past year, from ore containing an average of only e' - quarters of an ounce of gold per ton, and they are ad- V ieei that very large dividends can be made by this Com- Par.y if an average of only half an ounce per ton can be ob tal.ned. Samples of the gold ore from the Cambrian Mines to be teen at the Exhibition, Class 1, E astern Annex, and co pi es of the R epor t s of Captain Thos. Treloar and other mining authorities, may be had at the offices of the Company. A large portion of the capital has already been subscribed Prospectuses and forms of application for the remaining shares may be obtained of Messrs.. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, 29, Threadneedle -street, the br,okers of the company. A deposit of 10s. upon each share applied for must be paid to the Company's Bankers prevmusly to the application being Sent i n ; this sum will be returned if no allotment is made fe the applicant.

" Cambrian Consolidated Gold Mines Company," London. e gold field agreeably to your request, visited -u° , l g e 'll'y gold field in North Wales. r a „„ Of _ til e• 'existence of gold in Wales, I have been aware for q u — a ,,Ye.ars, but that it occurred there in any appreciable wi t l t 't'.Y, I' did not believe until a few days ago. Indeed, place'' you asked me to inspect some gold mines at that ray impression was, that I should find there a little ae precious metal manifestly out of its place. I was t'reeably disappointed. beb The future of North Wales is in the womb of time • but the result what it may, at present there is a goldfield te en Dolgelly of high promise, one which merits the atten ° of the miner and capitalist, and my regret was that I ."C t tOt more days at my disposal than I had hours for in- Pecting it. ca.reful geological e xam i na ti on by me was out o f the Tiestion, owing 'co want of time ; but I may state that, on my arrival at tke gold field, the rock, the hilly nature of taro sUrface, ezie rugged outcrop of the lode, and the moun ze:l,3,of Ca'Zter Idris in the distance, forcibly reminded • A st `.?_ Prjrtion of the gold mining field in Brazil. beeiin't° bolgelly gold fields a kind of green stone seems to „,`" mime rock of the country, but the rock enclosing eve ',all,ferous lode is a tolerably hard dark slate. To the 4 itir tc e latter appears wanting in the mineral life, but this op e . l ae is contradicted by the lodes, for they, so far as yet Ad, present great mineral and metalliferous vitality. uf the number and extent of the lodes in the Dolgelly lßold field, or the extent of the field itself, I believe no one 'e e r t e „ kll °Nvs• I saw mines and surface diggings at nine dif vb - t Points, and I believe they are on six different lodes °se leading characters are more or less the same. They 11.") Parallel, they run easterly and westerly, underlie a trifle bin; form in many places high angles with the cleavage Wiles of the containing rock, and consist chiefly of aurife s'llAs qartz, iron, copper, iron pyrites, and blende. ' l ' B a class, they are not so wide as the auriferous rock formationsl in Brazil. They do not average, perhaps, more al l three feet wide ; but, as I shall show directly, the 111,1,41,43 r compensates for the difference in size. DL -le names of the mines, or infant diggings, are St. at,',; yl d's) 'Wellington, Vira, Hendreforin, Liao h-Faith, C ambrian. Of these, g St. David's and Cambrian r have Corded the greatest quantities of gold, because they have ;t ae ll more extensively wrought. In both the precious etal was visible when I was there, and handsome sped b were quarried in my presence, especially at the Cam -11141. Seem'was g believing. vettinthge Wellington sett mineral lde is wide, so it is capable of large supplies of, which in all respects, k ept visible gold, is similar to St.. David's Lode. 41,-Lhe l ongitudinal extent examined by me was about two j s Il es, or from Wellington to Cambrian, and this distance aufficiently large for extensive mining operations. Bt. David's Lode, in the Clogau Hill, is the most eaten flvelY developed, but even this, I must repeat, is in its in allcY. Taking, however, the results already obtained here Bela basis, I feel of to say that the Dolgelly gold is a locality of very high promise. The excavations en th e lod e consist of a couple of levels, a winze, and a little atoping. The total quantity of mineral quarried does not perhaps exce e d 2 ,0 , 0 tons. Of this I find by the official returns supplied me that 942 tons have been treated, that it yielded 7,041 ounces of gold, or 74 ounces per ton, and that its net value amounted to £26,579, The rich ore has been very properly separated from the Door fo r t rea t men t, an d w hil e the former has yielded nearly 400 ounces of gold per ton, the latter has given upwards of an ounce. Even if the ore on the bank were worthless— Which is not the fact, for it consists of the ordinary atone age the Mine—still the gold extracted would give an aver 4ge standard or yield for the Mine of upward s of three o unces of gold per ton. Viewing, therefore, all the poncescitcum as to the quantity of the ore yet untreated, and the of treatment, the average value of the lode is perhaps 'Awards of five ounces of gold per ton. Now the ore at the celebrated St. John Del Rey Mine does not average three 411arters of an ounce per ton. doubting to the Exhibition would, I . belie , v th e, e c D on o v ig in e c n e y e g ve o ry ld e i d. mind as to the high promise of tai tM . a rL y not be amiss to m . ention g b th y a d t r i i n vin w g o a r u k d in s g ink g i o n l g d 1 " ' 1 rock formations, quarrying —Lettld be avoided as much as possible, and underhand sto r p_- 1 1 : i ig be the mode tesorted to.

There is no time to inquire into the origin of their disaffection, but it dates from the time when their Glorious Three Days of strike produced the tyranni cal Act of Parliament which compels them to be tolerably honest and civil, except when their fares are women, stran gers, or other unprotected persons. The foul wrong which placed means of redress within the reach of any person who has plenty of nerve and perseverance, and a week to throw away, has rankled in the minds of the cabmen, ancl the exultation into which they have been thrown by the plun der which they have made this Exhibition year, has brought them to exploding point. They now announce, in fiery placards, headed " Awake, arise, or be for ever fallen," that they are resolved and united, and that they are about to make a great demonstration in favour of their right to commit highway robbery. When cabmen conspire, good men must combine. They announce that they are going to meet, several thousands strong, in Exeter Hall, and that on the day of their meeting no cab shall be brought out after twelve o'clock. They say, in print, that they wish " to give the public a notion of the inconvenience of hav ing no cabs." What the innocent public has done to de serve that the whole business and pleasure of a great city should be stepped, in order to promote the interests of the pockets of any set of men, is not worth dimming. Be this as it may, the licensing authorities have :he matter pretty much in their own hands. If the cabmen want the law altered, the same means are open to them that are employed by her Majesty's other subjects for obtainirg a revision of the law. But if they proceed to conspirac3 and coercion, they should be made to comprehend that the law of cabs is made for the benefit of three millions of Lcndoners, not for that of three thousand drivers. Suppose Eomerset House announces that the licence of every cabman who strikes, as threatened, shall be, ipso facto, cancelled. Doubtless there will be some inconvenience to the public :or some time. But we shall be relieved, at once and for the future, from a system of extortion and ruffianism. REMINISCENCES IN CHURCH AND STATE. A new generation has sprung up since the 'using of the Reform Bill. The working of the older system is begin ning to be but faintly understood among us. Bribery, in deed, and treating, with all their attendant scones of vice and blackguardism, will not suffer themselves t. be shaken out of our memories; but with all the elasticity which be longs to living and active forces, they have contrived to fasten. themselves to the new system, and to feel themselves as much at home in it as they did in the old ; but though the principle was the same, its manifestation and modes of work were different. Our cleverest electioneering agents now-a-days would be puzzled to get through the work that fell to the lot of their luckless predecessors. We can fancy a man not necessarily of sensitive conscience, or needlessly dainty about the cleanness of his hands—a man who has, as it is termed, the poorer voters of his borough under his thumb, sigh in dreary despondency at the approach of the election day; and as he thought of the dirty work he must get through by evening, feel inclined to say with Falstaff—" Would it were bedtime, Hal, and all were well.' " But what would he say if that pressure upon his conscience, and those switches upon his hands— to say nothing of the strain upon his wits in looking after the interests of his client, bribing the voters for his oppo nent, and preventing his own voters from being bribed away from him —were to last not for the day, but for 14 ? It is hard enough now upon a candidate to hunt up all his voters in a town, and in his course to make such acquaintance with its holes and corners, and out-of the-way places, as none but a parliamentary candidate or detective policeman can boast of? But what is that com pared to the endless labour of seeking for stray voters in every county, almost in every town of the kingdom? Trac ing them through all their peregrinations, and coming upon them at last only to find that, before you can have the be nefit of their vote you must take their clothes out of pawn —perhaps their persons out of prison, pay the expenses of the journey to and from their native places, and allow them reasonable expenses for the loss of employment (which pro bably they never had), and for staying at home a short time after the election to see their friends. And when to this is added that the worst scenes of revolting rioting and drunk enness which we now hear of in some of our modern bo roughs, were then kept up during the whole fortnight of the election, it will be understood from what a sink of abo mination the Reform Bill has delivered us. ---- • ---- My recollections in this matter relate to a seaport in the North, which enjoyed its full share of these unenviable distinctions. In some respects it was more favourably situated than others of our old corporations ; it was not a close borough, it had no patron, it was open to generous impulses, and it was rare indeed when one of its mem bers was not to be found on the Liberal side. In its better days it had been a pure democracy ; in its latter it had degenerated into a perfect form of oligarchy—that is to say, one privileged class in the borough. The freemen de cided by their votes in Guildhall all points of internal ma nagement and regulation. There was no town council, nor committee, nor representative body in the place. The bur gesses managed all by their direct action. Was there a street to be paved, or a lamp to be put up, or a piece of the town land to be let, a guild was called in a public hall, some 200 or 300 noisy freemen decided upon the right and the fitting; and the right and the fitting in their eyes was just what may be expected from such a course. It happened that the lands in possession of this sapient body were extensive and valuable. James VI. of Scotland, on his way to take pos session of Elizabeth's crown, first set foot on English ground there, and was entertained by his new subjects with gene rous hospitality, and what he liked as well, a flattering ad dress. In gratitude he endowed them with a large slice of crown lands that lay round the town, the appanage of a royal castle that had once played a conspicuous part in bridling the Border. These lands, the burgesses at a very early period came to the resolution of appropriat ing, not to the benefit of the town as a com munity, but for their own individual advantage. With the single exception that they could not be alienated from the corporation nor transmitted by hereditary descent, they treated them exactly as the neighbouring squires treated their estate, as existing entirely for their own be hoof. The burgesses therefore th rove, but the town languished ; for as every improvement and reform of the public property must be paid for out of the fund, thus otherwise appropriated, it may easily be supposed that the patriotic freemen regarded with jealous eyes all propositions that involved expenditure, and looked upon them as so many downright robberies committed on property. And in the long run it was found that these estates did not even benefit themselves. They operated 4 1 this way. There was not enough to divide among all the burgesses; so the residents, who, of course, bore rule, Passed a law that all their brethren living beyond the borough bounds should be excluded from the benefit. So rigidly was this enforced, that a burgess living on the opposite bank of the stream which divides what for all practical purposes is one town, had no share in the division of the effect of this was to deaden the spirit spoil. The natural of enterprise among the freemen ; to induce them to remain at home, vegetating upon the pittance they received from the public property, rather than to seek for wealth and independence farther afield. But even with this restriction the pigs wore more than the teats the burgesses than common land. A farther discrimination was therefore resorted to, and the lands were given according to age. The oldest burgess had the fattest share ; the benefit gradually diminishing as it reached the juniors; and there Was a considerable pro p o rtion of young fellows who kept lo a fi ng about the town, with or without work as the case /night be, in expec tation of the older men whose obstinate vitality kept them out of their inheritance, dying off at la s t , an d admitting t h e m upon the first step of the ladder. Their earn in g s at other work were eked out in the meanti me by the i r attend ance at the guilds, where a shilling or two might often be for or against picked UP by voting proposition whi person might have private reason's f or ta ki ng an inte restsonie in. Then there were the agents fo r t h e s itti n g mem bers, and the attorney who aspired to be the agent for some future member—all men of proctica4 benevolent turn of mind, who would not see a poor fellow—of course a burgess —want for a half-crown at an odd time. All this was cellent training for the great septennial orgies when they came, and produced a gradual sapping of the independence of the whole body which it required no small amount of moral courage to resist. But these special municipal privi leges operated to the disadvantage of the borough in another way. They were so valuable, and their value depended so much on keeping down the number of those who could claim a share in them, that the utmost jealousy was shown in admitting any one to the burgess roll, who. had not an indisputable claim. The only terms of admission were hereditary right or apprenticeship; for which latter an enormous fee was charged, and not the fee only but actual service for seven years was rigidly exacted. This of course prevented any man who had come into the town from becoming a burgess. He might, by his energy, 'industry, and enterprise, have risen to be the richest and most influential man in the borough, but he could not hope to have as much voice in the election of members of Par liament as a drunken day-labourer whose father happened to have been a burgess before him. Every new election in the borough brought a contest. Such a thing as an unopposed return was hardly ever known. Thi s, arose from the position of the out voters. The residents might have been bribed into quiescence by the old members, but it was not in their power to persuade the electors who had gone away to forego their visit home to see their friends, their three weeks' or a month's holiday members, eou otakin g have been their earned seats a and their bein g p a i d for idleneei `at a far higher rate than d ever n their one election, irw°rkSo t might hatthe reckon upon it' as a matter of course that they must en counter a " third man" at the next. A. requisition was got np for some gentleman, whose existence was never heard of before, but who was suddenly discovered to possess all the virtues under heaven; and to that requisition there was sure to be appended the names of all th e ea t_. voters. The sitting members resorted to various ex pedients to defeat the practice and enlist the out-voters in their favour; but they rarely succeeded. There was honour among thieves ; and the voters were true to the man without whom they felt they could not have enjoyed the advantages the sitting members were offering. Here and there cases were found where a mean-spirited wretch had signed the requisition for one man, and when the poll. ing came had found reasons to vote for another, but he was held " ruddering " by his stout Saxon companions, who stood stiff upon their - honesty that they were invariably faithful to the first briber. Sometimes the bribe was trans ferred from the voters to be conveyed to the person who conveyed them. One such successful trick still lives in the memories of the borough. The great body of the out-voters were to be found in London ; and from London the voters were conveyed, generally in one vessel, by sea. Au in genious sitting member bethought him of opening com munications with the skipper of the smack that was to con vey them; and the result was seen in the poor fellows — some hundred or more—being kept tossing about in the North Sea during the days the election lasted, the cross grained elements only allowing them to reach the port after the return was made and all was over. The trick was only played once, but it was often apprehended; for in those days steam was not, and in the capricious elements that vex our eastern coast, a seven or eight days' passage, even with the most pushing of skippers, was of no uncommon occurrence. When such a delay took place with the ves sel that was freighted with electors, and the fortune of the election, what an agitation and speculation and general state of fidget there was all over the town. How many anxious eyes were turned seaward to the grand expanse of dark blue water that rolls through that bay. How every flow and puff of wind was watched as indicative of a coming change 1 For one of the peculiarities of election here was, that though the poll could be kept open for a fort night, that was only on condition that voters were con stantly coming forward. If a given time elapsed—an hour, if I recollect right—in which no voter appeared at the hustings, which in those days was synonymous with the polling booth, it was held that the list of voters was ex hausted, the poll was closed, and the members declared. Therefore it behoved the candidate who was lowest on the poll, but who expected his out voters to turn the scale, to husband the resident votes that remained to him. If his supply had run very short, he would expend them in drib lets, one vote an hour. The candidates in the majority on the other hand withheld their remaining votes altogether— to send a man to the poll was only to help their antagonist ; for the law did not care en what side the elector voted, every vote recorded left the poll open for another hour. And the burgesses at large did not care how the poll went, or how long it was likely to last. It was enough for them that the public-houses on both sides centinued open, and that drink was to be had in them during the fortnight with out stint and without pay. What exhibitions used to be made 1 How the pot-valiant electors used to strut about the streets shouting out the names of their favourite candi dates, while others, in a more maudlin state, insisted on slobbering and kissing the candidates or their principal agents as often as they met them in the streets. With much drunkenness there was little or no fighting. The practice of hiring "roughs" to decide elections by club law did not then exist, and as for the electors themselves they were not enough in earnest to fight for their favourites. Tongue-doughty warriors there were in plenty; but the brawl seldom or never proceeded to a riot. At that time a single constable sufficed to keep the peace for a town of 6,000 inhabitants. The temper of the burgesses on those political questions which they might be expected specially to look after as the theoretic guardians of the constitution, may be gathered from one characteristic incident. While the agitation for the Reform Bill was at its height, the great majority of the burgesses were Tories, and opponents of reform. Their opposition did not stop the measure, which in due time became law. When the measure was passed,a motion was made by an anti-Reformer—a drunken bell-ringer—that each burgess should get a sum—a sove reign, I think —out of the common fund of the borough, to "drink the Reform Bill's health." It was seconded by ano ther man of the same kidney ; and though opposed by the Reform party among the burgesses, yet as they were in a small minority, the motion was carried. On this the Reformers took counsel together : they held that though it was a monstrous waste of the public money, yet, as the waste was to take place, they might as well go and take their share. And so they did, and for once in the borough annals the two parties exhibited an edifying spectacle of drunken unanimity. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WOLVERHAMPTON RACE S.-WEDNE SDAY.

A conference was held yesterday, in the Council room of the Royal Horticultural Society, between a deputation from the Manchester Cotton Supply Association and the commissioners representing countries contribating specimens of cotton to the International Exhibition, in reference to the growth and cultivation of that article. The deputation consisted of Mr. S. Cheetham, President of the Association ; Mr. E. Ashwortb, Vice-President : Mr. H. Mason, Mr. E. Walmsley, Mr. T. Mosley, Mr. W. Armitage, Mr. W. Wanklyn, and I Mr. S. D. Sutton. Mr. CnEETIIAM having been called to the chair, in opening the proceedings, said that the cotton manufacture of this country was in an unexampled state of depression, owing to the difficulty of obtain ing an adequate supply of the raw material. As an individual, he looked forward to the next few months with feelings of the greatest anxiety, amounting almost to despair. The cause of this state of things was the civil war in America. Hitherto our main supply of cotton had been de rived from America. The value of the American crop for the yea rlB6O was estimated at £40,000,000, but it was now evident that for many years to come America would not be able to attain the position she had lost, and indeed it was held in some quar ters that under no circumstances would she ever attain that position again. He thought that in future other countries would at least obtain £20,000,000 worth of the supply previously mono polised by America_ If the representatives of dif ferent countries whom he saw before him wanted to extend the cultivation of cotton in their respec- tive countries, he recommended them to make the American planter their guide, and to remember that the quality whioh he had produced with so much satisfaction was the quality which they should attempt to produce. The country which came second in point of quantity was India. The pro duction in that country was 400,000 bales annually, but they had nothing whatever to learn from India, except that it produced the worst possible cotton on the face of the earth. The question for the meeting to consider was, whether they could look steadily forward to remuneration, if they could induce the various countries they repre sented to enter upon the cultivation of cotton. If they could produce cotton at from sd. to 6d. laid down in Great Britain they had a perfectly safe market. Mr. MAnsll, M.P., observed that, as had been fairly stated by the chairman, cheapness was the essential element to be borne in mind in the consi deration of the whole question of cotton supply, because inasmuch as it was used to clothe all man kind, from the most civilised to the most savage, the question of price became of the most paramount importance. He warned them against deluding themselves, or the Cotton Association, or the starv ing population of Lancashire, by vain hopes and expectations of supply from the colonies, especi ally that of Queensland, in Australia, unless a con siderable change took place in the rate of labour. He presumed that in Queensland, which he repre sented on the present occasion, the class of bullock drivers might fairly be taken as representing the class of men who would be cultivators of cotton ; yet that class would earn about 160 a year, includ ing rations, and it was quite useless to expect a cheap cotton to be grown that could at all compete as respected labour with other articles. Under the circumstances, he considered it was impossib le that a good description of cotton could be produced under Bd. or 9d. a puund. There were , however, fertile ka th at districts extending towards th e Gulf ?f Carpentart of the ia,l the climate of which was m ore tropics, where they had reg ular rains li an d monsoons our could be six months in the year. If cheap lab sa mple of cot obtained in that distr ict an would excellent be cheap and ton could be produce , w w ould be possible to bring good. He thought it both Chines© and Coolie labourers, and therefore he was not prepare d to say th a t in future the cott on for the English market would not be produced i n Queensland. is ix„ who represented Barbadoes, Mr. WE, o bserved th at he bad some knowledge, as c h a i rman f Committee,cap a bili t i es of the of to the Indian that coun try for producing cotton, and altho ug h he quite admitted that the West Indies could produce cotton , y et the real fact was, th at t h e cul tivation of sugar paid better, and it was in vain to suppose that cotton would he grown while other things paid better. Various gentlemen from different cotton-growing districts addressed the meeting, from whose state ments it appeared that the principal difficulty wast the dearnes s o f l a b our, but the general op i n ion of the speakers app eared to be, that if there was any thing like a Prospect of continuance of the demand, there would be no difficulty in obtaining an effi cient suppl 3, of cotton. Mr. Asinvorrit observed that this was one of the most important meetings that had grown out of the International Exhibition. With respect to the cutton question, there could be no doubt that the Northerners bad sti mulated the cotton Producers of the South, but the withdrawal of the Northern ca pital would probably shackle her One-third, and instead of four millions of bales, one-third of that would not continue to reach England. It was the cotton -producing countries that had to consider this, in order to see which country should produce it. There could be no doubt that the cotton culti vators were men of vast energy, education, and talent, and they had their associations for the pro motion of the J ust like we had growth of cotton, j o ur agricultural ass oc i a ti ons for the p romotion of 4 A agriculture, and those would be the elements of success among the 35 new countries now opening- Colonel Miss° crc BET, as representing Turkey,, stated that the question was one of great interest to the Sultan and his Government. He had had many oppertunities of knowing their desire to in crease the production of cotton, in reference to which the Turkish Empire offered so important a field. He believed that a great increase would be derived from that quarter. _ Some further addresses having been delivered, the proceedings terminated. A sumptuous enter tainment was subsequently provided by the Cotton Association to the commissioners in the refresh ment department of the Exhibition. ALLEGED TVILFUL DEST.RUCTIOA r OF SHIPS. For some time past plc,cards have been extensively circulated throughout the country and advertise ments inserted in the nevi spapers stating that it had tecorne known that divers ships had of late been unlawfully and maliciously cast away and destroyed by fire or otherwise, with intent to defraud under writers and others, at the instance of fraudulent shipowners and their accomplices, and that a reward of £2OO would be paid and a free pardon given to would ouia pers ons leadt to the e w cm o v u i l e d tie g n iv o e f t s h u e c ir h information aeeemplices as . A upon the above was yes case involving facts bet-rring terday brought before Mr, Rain e s at the Liverpool Police-court, when Thomas Jamieson, late a sea cap tain, and we believe a part owner of some vessels, was brought upunder the following circumstances : —He had written a letter to a shipowner and mer chant, in which he intimated that unless Ruckston gave him money he would expose some joint villany connected with the destruction of ships. This letter was handed by Mr. Ruckston to his legal advigerw, and ultimately on Jamieson refusing to retract the assertion as to Mr. Ruckston's culpability he was given into custody on the criminal charge of en deavouring to obtain money by intimidation. The information was yesterday laid against the pri os ner under the Act 24 and 25 Vie., cap. 96, which provides that whoever shall send any letter or writ ing, knowing the contents thereof, to any person, with menaces, and without any reasonable or pro bable cause, for the purpose of obtaining money, shall be guilty of felony, and liable upon conviction to penal servitude for life. It appeared that some ten years ago the prisoner became acquainted with the prosecutor, and he then suggested the purchase of a ship called the Roscoe. Ruckston and Jamie son then became joint owners of the ROSCOC, and after she had made several voyages was (as Jamie son alleged in his letter) purposely lost at the re quest and instruction of Ruckston. The following is an extract from Jamieson's letter demanding an arranrment :—" Now my intentions are that I must have a settlement, for I cannot lose the op portunity the advertisement gives me of exposing our joint villany when you reaped all the reward!' * * * "I would advise you to come to terms immediately." The prisoner and Mr. Ruckston had also transactions with another vessel the, Ma. rino, about which there was some difficulty respect a mortgage-deed, and Jamieson had quarrelled with the prosecutor several times about it. The solicitor for the prosecution stated that on several occasions:the prisoner had been most abu sive to his client before` lie had sent the letter of in timidation. For the defence it was contended Jamieson would be able to substantiate the allegations made in his letter if a remand was granted ; and that he would not only be able to substantiate these allegations, but expose a gigantic system of swindling practised upon underwriters. A remand was then granted, bail being refused. THE SINKING OF 7HE IRON SHIP GANGES IIV THE RIVER. It has now been ascertained that five of the crew of lascars of the iron ship Ganges, which capsized in the river off the Shadwell entrance of the London Dock, perished in the vessel when sac went down. On the crew being mustered at the Home for Asiatics, at Limehouse, on Tuesday night, five were found to be missing, and there is no doubt they were drowned in the ship. They were the lascar doctor, or compounder of physic for the men, and a lasear who was sick, two other lascars who were cleaning out the hold, and a little boy, an Asiatic, servant to the captain. It appears that the little fellow was in the cabin, and, probably being over whelmed by the rush of water, he perished. On the fall of the tide yesterday vigorous efforts were made by the Thames police to find the bodies of the missing men. The officers mounted the side of the hull of the ship, which had been left several feet out of the water, and after working about some time the bodies of the doctor and the sick man were discovered in their bunks in the outhouse on deck. A drowned dog was lying near the latter body. The remains of the deceased men were sent ashore and deposited in Shadwell bone-house, and the police continued their search after the other sufferers, but nothing could be seen of them. It is expected, however, that they will be found in the ship. During the ebb tide of yesterday morning and last evening gangs of shipwrights were engaged in getting the masts out of the ship, but owing to her being fitted with wire rigging the work was one of much difficulty. It is anticipated that in the course of to-night they will be got sway, and operations will be at once commenced to lift the sunken wreck. Application was made to the East and West India Dock Company for the use of the powerful floating fixed. t ehre. vie derrick, which is in the East India Dock, to raise the ship, and which would have made short work a of it when oncethech however,ainswereto grant firmly g the The dock o c ck of n dY decline d, e rrick, on the ground that, by the terms upon which they held the machine, they were precluded from employing it outside the dock. a ppeal was then made to the Thames Conservancy Board for the attendance of their powerful chain lighters. They also at first declined, alleging that it was not usual to grant them except when the board undertook the wor k . commerce of r ee thee of ship t he w whole o The application was followed up, and it being pointed out that the reallyposi tion affected the navigation and m port, the board directed the chain lighte rs t o be thought placed at the service of those who are employea in raisingthat chainsvessel . w iwill Should be got go well, it i s under the s un k en s hi p i n th e c ourse of to-morrow the the morning's ebb, and the lighters being " pinned " down alongside her, she will float at the afternoon flood. At present she is a very serious obstruction, right in the fair way of the stream, and a foreign barque in coming up the river yesterday afternoon touched, it is thought, the upper part of her starboard bul wark, and remained so for 10 minutes. Fortunately the tide was not falling, and a tug being a t hand the foreigner was towed off, but whether she sus tained any dam age or not we cou ld not l e arn. Capt. James, the principal harbour master attached to the Thames Conservancy Board, has taken every pre caution to protect the shipping passing upend down Green (wreck) during the day, an d li g h ts a t night. At h i g h wate r flags are placed nea r the wreck yesterday afternoon she w as perfectly covered with broken water. It appears that the ship had only 40 tons of bal last and 20 tons of water in tanks in her. Her top masts were also not struck, and some of her yards were not sent down, w hi c h would all tend to make her topbeavy. She was intended to have been placed on a bert h in the London 1)ock, for Austra lia.
