This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and working several valuable Copper Mines, situated north of Port Augusta, in the colony of South Australia. The property comprises the " Yudanamutana," " Wheal Gleeson," " Martichudana Mines," and seven surrounding mineral sections (forming one compact block of 800 acres) ; also the " Wheal Blinman Mine," constituting in all 880 acres, in 11 sections of 80 acres each, granted in Leases by the Colonial Government, under dates of August, September, and November, 1861, at a rental of 10s. per acre per annum for fourteen years, with a right of renewal for other fourteen years, upon payment of a fine, to be fixed by the Crown, of not less than £l, and not more than £2O per acre. The valuable character of these Mines is established by men of practical mining experience, whose testimony on oath, before a Committee of the House of Assembly at Ade laide, is subjoined, exhibiting undoubted evidence of the amazing resources of the Yudanamutana property, while practically this evidence is comborated by the fact that about 75 tons of ore, valued at about £2,250, were raised and carted in ten days by nine men, and shipped for Lon don. Large quantities of rich ore can be promptly pro cured by mere quarrying, rendering it of course compara tively inexpensive in raising. The distance of the nearest Mine from Port Augusta is not more than 120 miles, while the farthest is about 65 be yond, with excellent roads. The Port Augusta Tramway Company, moreover, which is now in course of initiation, under most favourable terms from the Government, will speedily give increased facilities of transmission from and to this district. The purchase of these several Mineral Properties, in cluding all ores at surface, has been made on the following equitable terms, without any restrictive rights or royalties, namely £25,000 in cash, and 15,000 paid-up shares, on as signment of the property, none of these shares being trans ferable till six months after the date of the issue. The Capital of the Company is ample for the adoption of vigorous operations at the various Mines, and will leave a large amount in hand as a reserve fund, while, from the profitable results which will accrue, early dividends may be reasonably expected. All charges for promotion, advertisements, Brokers' com mission, besides all preliminary, legal, and other expenses, up to and including the costs and fees of registration of the Company, have been defined and agreed for at 3 per cent. upon the nominal Capital of the Company. Applications for Shares may be made t 3 the Bankers or Brokers in the annexed form; but no application for less than five Shares, or a multiple of five, will be considered, nor unless a deposit of £1 on each Share applied for is pre viously paid to the Bankers;of the Company. To render the allotment as equitable as practicable, the Shares will be appropriated in full, in the order of appli cation, according to the Bankers' book. and the list closed as soon as the required number of Shares is subscribed ; but no allotment above 1,000 shares will be made to any applicant. A Select Committee of the South Australian House of Assembly was appointed in June, 1860, to take evidence on the Mineral character of the Northern District of the Colony. The examination of the following practical Mining wit nesses, by the Chairman, on the Yudanamntana properties is as follows : Mr. Ward's Evidence.—Could you give a rough state ment of what Copper there might be lying in the north ready for cartage ?—I could not say. There is an immense mass of Copper lying on the surface at Yudanamutana. Mr. Alfred Ft ost's Evidence.--Does the ore crop out on the surface, at any places you have seen, to any large extent ?—Yes ; atYudanamutana there is an immense lode. There are two sections, and in the northern section are four lodes running north and south, and one east and west; and in the southern section there is one lode—a very heavy body of green carbonate—varying from 6 inches to 27 feet thick. When you spoke of a lode 27 feet wide, is that solid ore, or rock and ore mixed F—That is all Copper • it stands about three feet out of the ground , as if the rain had washed the surface away and left it standing. At the eastern side of the lode it is very solid. Is the quality of it good ?—I have had some of it assayed, and it averaged 50 per cent. Is it likely, do you think, that a large quantity of ore would be raised ?—Well, Mr. Giles was with me, and he said he thought there was very nearly 1,000 tons of Copper on the surface. Mr. Giles's Evidence.—The quality of the ore you have seen—is it generally good P—ln some instances remarkably good ; at Yudanamutana the per tentage is very high. Mr. Alford's Evidence.—Near Yudanamutana, I think, there is plenty of water for all the year. As far as going to Wheal Blinman is concerned, I believe you can ride up in the mail cart to within 28 miles of the Wheal Blinman, over a very good road. In fact if you keep the Northern road, it is like going over plains, and occasionally winding round the spurs hills. In additiOn to this evidence, the reports of several min ing gentlemen are annexed, namely:— Mr. Giles.—" The hill, where the great mass of Copper is cropping out, forms the Southern or Yudanamutana section. On the Northern section (Wheal Gleeson) ai e five distinct lodes, four running parallel to each other, north and south, and one cross course east and west; the ore is red oxide (Ruby Ore) at least 60 per cent." " The Yudanamutana Creek divides the two sections ; on rising the hill from the Creek going southerly, a great deal_of Copper is on the surface; near the top it is cropping out in great blocks, and the summit is crowned with an enormous mass of green carbonate in detached blocks of many tons weight each; large quantities of ore require only to be broken up to be fit for cartage and shipment." Mr. E. James.—" The lode runs north and south ; it is 12 feet wide, composed of every sort of rich ore. Some, I think, will make a produce of 70 per cent. ; it is the richest place I ever saw—the best, I think, that has ever been dis covered north of Adelaide." Mr. J. Mole.—" I have just come from the Yudanamu tana Mines; it is the best piece I have seen at the north— , the lode being very large, and cropping three or four feet out of the ground, going down almost perpendicularly. There is an immense quantity of ore, showing, at surface, of a rich quality." James Giles.—" Wheal Blinman.—l opened the ground on the course of the lode and ascertained the width of the same to be six feet, two feet of which was solid dark grey ore: The lode is well defined, with a rich red gossan back, and the country soft. I believe that it will prove one of the richest Mines in South Australia; the distance from Port Augusta (about 125 miles) not being a serious disadvantage, as the road to that place is excellent." Captain J. B. Pascoe states, in letters dated Nuccaleena, Sept. 19th and Oct. 17th, 1861: " Captain James and men arrived here from the Yuda namutana Mine on Saturday last, having loaded 26 drays with first-class ore in ten days, with seven men, himself, and horse driver; never such a thing done in mining be fore, and they can do it again at any time." "I have examined the Yudanamutana; there is more ore in that mine than in all the mines I have seen in the north. " mv be here leouldraisel 0, 000 mentioned h tons ef t richat the well-knownore for l 5,000 ." It 13 urra Burra, Kapunda, and other rich mines are north of Ade laide, yet the foregoing reports express the conviction that the Yudanamutana Mines are the best ever discovered north of Adelaide.

A document longer than our readers will care to peruse is now before us—No. 74 in the first of the Parliamentary Papers on North America. It is a letter delivered on the 14th of August last, by Messrs. YANCEY, RUST, and MANN, to Lord RUSSELL, and sets forth in full the object of those worthies in coming to this country. They soon obtained an informal interview with his lordship, and tell us in this letter the purport of their repre sentations to him. They gained nothing by them, as the brief answer of Egli RUSSELL plainly shows. No hope was given them of the recognition they desired —civil war and belligerent rights had already been acknowledged —and for the rest Lord RUSSELL tells them they must fight it out, unless they find a better means of adjustment. Now it is as well these Southern gentlemen should know, that if we look upon the shortcomings of the North as E 0 great as to chill our sympathy— we look upon the great vice and crime of the South as so hateful, that we not only cannot sympathise with their cause—we detest it. We think it bad in its inception, and in its object revolting. We think respectable men ought to be ashamed to belong to it. If we look at Mr. YANCEY'S old plea of State Rights, and the hos tility of the Federal Government to their liberties and rights, we only wonder how these persons can think to impose upon impartial Englishmen by arguments 'which could only pass in Slavedom. We know, as a matter of fact, that the pro-slavery party had the ascendancy till Mr. LINCOLN'S election, and their rights were not threatened certainly then. Their weak tools whom they placed in the presi dential chair, and all the officials appointed by Ithem, and sanctioned by a pro-slavery senate, could have done the tyrants of the South no harm. At last they were beaten fairly ai the ballot-box; and what did these precious lovers of liberty do—these men who had been loyal enough while they could elect their own party man ? Why, they secede ! Never was anything in politics done by free people more unfair, more base, we must confess, as between the two parties. The South accepted the game as long as every throw was in their favour. On the first adverse throw, these mean wretches clutch the stakes and run away with them. If we admit that, in regard to slavery, the North is only not the slaveholder in possession, and hardly better than the South, yet, as between the two parties, no " welshers," no " blacklegs" of the turf ever did a more disgraceful deed than that of the Southerners. Mr. YANCEY omits the chief cause of the quarrel, and assigns a false one. He would palm off upon us the pretence, that the South was for Free Trade, and that that was the chief cause of secession. Nothing of the kind. It was a mere after-thought or bribe to be held out to Europe. It failed any longer to bribe the North, so now it was to be tried on England and France. Why, for the last forty years the South has voted with the North all the hostile tariffs which have yet existed. There have been tariffs worse than the MORRILL Tariff—the South voted them. Nothing in the way of protecting native manufacture against the Dritishers came amiss to them. Of course they wished to have things as cheaply as could get them, so do all protectionists —but like other protectionists they would vote against free trade in one article that they might get support to prevent it in regard to another. The Southerns are all fanatical against free trade in labour. They believe only in the lash, and as long as the North WOuld protect them in th e use o f the lash, and in refusing freedom of labour to the negro, the South would protect the North, in its tariffs, and in refusing free competition to British goods. And these are the hypocrites who come to us cant ing about free trade! The truth is Slavery is the one odious crime which is dear to them as their life •blood. For dear slavery's sake they would vote for prohibitive Northern tariffs ; for beloved slavery they will vote for free-trade with England. Anything they would vote for, so that it did but gain artificial support for slavery. Mr. YANCEY in this document terms the Northerns hypocrites, because Mr. LINCOLN and the North have endeavoured to persuade Europe that their cause is that of anti-slavery, while they propose in America to adhere to a pro-slavery con stitution, and have in all their acts, and in their resolutions of Congress, taken all possible pains to show that they do not intend to free the slaves. " The great object of the war, as now announced, is not to free the slave, but to keep him in subjec tion to his owner ;" at the same time the LINCOLN Government aims to get control over the slave's master. This is, with the exception of the last remark, too true. But the North, after all, has one important superiority to the South —the one thing which, though these gentle men conceal it—caused their utterly unjusti fiath secession—the North is opposed to extending the curse of slavery to soil yet free from it. The restriction of slavery as an evil to its present limits —the prohibition of its introduction into any of the territories of the Union which may yet become States—and the refusal to allow slaves to be brought by their masters into the free States on the same terms as their fourfooted living property ;—these are the real grounds of secession, and Messrs. YANCEY, ROST, and MANN are as hypocritical as the North can be for suppressing this, and putting forward free trade for their pretext. Since the letter of the commissioners, things have altered but little. The South has resisted longer, and the North has longer attempted to conquer in vain. Mr. LINCOLN has shown himself no more hostile to a reunion with slavery than he was then, and the South have certainly shown no disposition to mitigate its horrors. Money has failed in the North as well as in the South ; but in relation to England and to Europe the strife presents no altered features. The blockade may be imperfect, but it is a reality ; some generals may have headed the Executive in their anti-slavery zeal; but the Executive has purged itself of earnest antislavery men, and small battles, useless victories, and harmless defeats are continually recurring. We must therefore wait. Want of success, or want of money, must soon bring about negotiation in some shape; and Eng land will follow, not anticipate, events. Tardy though the tributes proffered by the Lords and Commons to the memory of the late PRINCE CONSORT have necessarily been, they have compensated for their delay by their magnificence. Seldom has there been heard such a superb series of eulogiums—heartfelt we do believe every one of them—pronounced upon a Prince of these realms, passing away in the flower of his life : the encomiasts themselves being among the foremost men of the age. Lord PALMERSTON, the Earl of DERBY, Earl RUSSELL, and Mr. DISRAELI—each in turn spoke of the Royal Consort of Queen VICTORIA in terms that but for their almost tearful earnest ness, and but for the fact that they were spoken of one then lying calmly in his sepulchre, might have appeared to the more cynical the lan guage of extravagant adulation. Of this at least we are satisfied, that no one would have more eagerly deprecated these unstinted panegyrics than the PRINCE CONSORT himself—he among whose distinctive attributes was his graceful modesty and his almost sublime self-abnegation in the laborious assiduity of his life, as the comfort and support of his Queen-wife in all the State anxieties incident to her supreme position as a Constitutional Sovereign. Before the first day's sitting of the Legislature had even commenced, before the ch men proposer and seconder of the Address in answer to the gracious Speech from the Throne in the two Houses of Parliament had risen to discharge their nervous duties by the delivery of their maiden speeches, we felt satisfied that some incidental allusion would be made, in one house or the other, to the noble lines penned in homage to the fair fame of Prince ALBERT-- " ALBERT the Good "—by the Poet Laureate. In this expectation we were not disappointed. Lord DUFFERIN closed his commendations of that lofty and eminently beautiful career by echoing those accumulated benedictions upon the widowed monarch with which Mr. TENNYSON ends his affecting " Dedication." The meaning of all these impetuous and almost impassioned tributes to the Prince, now that he has suddenly passed away from the midst of us— Not making his high place the lawless perch Of wing'd ambitions, nor a vantage-ground For pleasure; but thro' all this tract of years Wearing the white flower of a blameless life, Before a thousand peering littlenesses, In that fierce light which beats upon a throne, And blackens every blot; —the full meaning of all these abounding panegyrics upon the Prince's memory—we take to have been most happily expressed in those simple and truthful words of ALFRED TENNYSON in which, with a world of pathos in every melodious syllable, he writes— . . . We have lost him :he is gone Fe know him now: Adding to this— . . . all narrow jealousies Are silent; and we see him as he moved, How modest, kindly, all-accomplish'd, wise. It is the fact of that o'er late and even posthumous recognition of the nobility and the resplendent worth of this exalted personage—" a Prince indeed !" that explains the depth of emotion, of an emotion half love, half gratitude, all admiration, prompting every earnest word, written or spoken, of the Royal Consort of VICTORIA since the moment of his demise, when— " Commingled with the gloom of imminent war, The shadows of his loss moved like eclipse Darkening the world." Through all these eloquent tributes to the departed Prince, there is manifest, moreover, such a blend ing of appreciation for his excellence with loyal devotion for the widowed QUEEN, as cannot but have yielded to the latter from first to last an exquisite sense of consolation. Her MAJESTY knows full well by this time in very truth and deed that her august husband has not lived in vain for his family or for his adopted country, indi rectly even, it may be said, for all Christendom. Premature (as it appears to us mortals) though his death—his life at its completed round is now co by us, one an d a ll , as h av i ng b een , so far as s n human fallibility could admit of any life being, all but perfect ! It is seen now in its full orbicular completeness. It is loved and revered by a free people, as pure and earnest throughout. An eminently laborious life it was—a life made up for the most part of the didcharge of earnest duties earnestly. And it is the memory of all these incontrovertible facts that in a measure sanctifies with truth and feeling, eulogiums that must otherwise have palled upon the national ear long since, to whomsoever applied. The last choral panegyrics upon the PRINCE CONSORT are those whieh have now been heard in the Lords and Commons of England—and, of all, they will not be the least welcome to the stricken heart of our gracious SOVEREIGN. THE AMERICAN CIVIL TSAR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I have read in The Sun the proceedings of a meeting held under the auspices of the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, at which several of the emissaries of President Lincoln made sundry misstatements in regard to the causes and probable result of the American Civil war. I am a citizen of the State of Pennsylvannia, I took an active part in the last Presidential election, and can testify to the fact that every democratic statesman and orator in the North informed the people that, in the event of the success of a sectional candidate on an unconsti tional platform, which is Mr. Lincoln's case, the people of the Southern States would avail themselves of their right to withdraw from the Union, and I beg to refer you to the speech of Mr. Calhoun, made in the United States Senate Chamber in 1833 on the Force Bill, in which he delared the doctrine of States Rights as understood by the Fathers of the Revolution ; he also expounded the tariff question and gave a prophetic account of what has transpired within the past year. Southerners have always proclaimed that their States would secede, in the event of an infringement of their rights on the tariff or any other matter, the Federal Government having no original, but only derivative powers from the respective States. It is therefore untrue that the action of the Confederate States was the culmi nating point of a " conspiracy." It is also untrue that there has been a " close intercommunication in all matters, educational,ecclesiastical,and social." All the religious denominations, North and South, have been separated for years, with the exception of the Protestant Episcopal Church, which is now divided; in fact, the secular affairs of that Church have been conducted on States Rights principles, the position of a bishop of a diocese being comparable to that of the governor of a commonwealth. Even in my State we have an utter contempt for the Yankees and all persons who follow in their train. I am not at ail surprised that a New York jour nalist and lobby politician should be inexact in his statements, or that the nephew of a historian, who falsified history in the Trent affair, should make wilful errors; but I am astonished to find the head of the church in Ohio creating erroneous ideas in the minds of English gentlemen, at the bidding of a corrupt and wicked Administration. London, Feb. 9. TRUTH. STATE OF ?RADE. MANCHESTER, FEB. 7.—ln yarns there has been rather more business throughout the week, principally from the Germans, and they are a shade dearer than on Tuesday. The market has been gradually gaining in firmness for every quarter for all descriptions of yarns. The amount of busi ness for India and China has not been large, nor hate the home-trade houses bought much. The Germans have been more active buyers, and have cleared out some pretty large parcels of yarns at full prices. The cloth-market remains exactly as it was on T uesday, or, if there is any change, a little firmer. Extremely little business is doing. Both buyers and sellers are disposed to wait awhile, in the expectation of rather better accounts from India in the course of another mail or two, so soon as the news of the settlement of the American question has arrived out there, And it is thought, also, that the continuance of the system of short time must soon result in giving increased steadiness to the market. Manufacturers from the country speak of more mills having been closed, in consequence of the ruinous loss attending the production of cloth at the priees now current. In some instances, and especially where the operatives occupy cittages belonging to their employers, the manufacturers who have closed their mills have agreed to advance the workpeople two or three days' wages per week to keep them from the workhouse, and on condition that such advance shall be repaid when more prosperous times shall enable mills to be re-opened. This has been done (as stated by Mr. Bright at Rochdale, a few weeks back) in former periods of depression like the present, and employers have found their workpeople hon , st enough generally to return and work these advances off as soon as an opportunity was afforded them of doing it. It is to be re gretted that many spinners and manufacturers have not capital sufficient to enable them to ador this course, and that there is nothing for it in such cases but to leave the workpeople to their own resources. The hope expressed by Mr. Bazley, at Tuesday's meeting on the Indian tariff, that boards of guardians would relax as far as possible the ordinary tests to paupers, and no suiject those whose fingers were accustomed to the more delicate processes of the trade to the rough-labour of stone breaking, met with a hearty response from the more generous-hearted of his auditors. The wish is often expressed that it may be well to ask who is to in demnify the relieving officers for such a breach of the law. Have the guardians the power ? In ordinary times the relieving-officers of Manchester are every year sur charged by the auditor for breaches of the rule in sums large enough to jeopardise nearly the whole amount of their salaries, and they can only obtain a remission by a process which involves a long and tedious correspondence with the Poor Law Board in London, so that it may be presumed that they will only follow a suggestion of this kind to a very limited extent. But where this is not done the poor people will naturally avoid the union as long as possible, and, indeed, vast numbers are now tramping over the country begging from door to door, rather than accept the parish dole on the only terms on which the law, when strictly enforced, permits it to be given. Although many of our spinners and manufacturers are successfully using Surat cotton, a far greater number, through prejudice, or rather than incur the expense of adapting their machinery to it, are averse to a fair trial. This accounts in some measure for the great difference iu price, which is fully 3d. per lb. in favour of the buyer as compared with American. The prejudice blinds many to the fact that Surats may now be had of much superior qua lity to that which was ordinarily supplied some years ago ; and of course where employers have a dislike to its use we can hardly be surprised to find that the operatives are pre judiced against it to a still greater degree, finding that they earn rather less wages when supplied with this description of cotton. Lord and Lady Stanley of Alderley and family have arrived at their residence in Dover-street, from Alderley-park, Cheshire.

The discussion of the bill for the conversion of the Four-and •a-Half per Cent. Rentes commenced to-day in the Chamber of Deputies. M. Darimon spoke against the conversion, which, he said, was immoral, on account of the abnormal conditions under which it was effected, and because an association of bankers would, to favour this scheme of the Government, create an artificial rise in ti ,e public securities. M. Darimon maintained that the conversion was impossible on account of the considerable deficits, the large floating debt, and the probability that a loan would have to be re sorted to. M. Barthelemy defended the bill. M. Konigs water opposed it. The Constitutionnel of this evening says : " Some English journals speak of a loan of £4,000,000 sterling having been contracted by the French Government with some English bankers.

It will be in your recollection that after the closing of the Roman Catholic churches in October last, the Protestant church and the synagogue were also shut by order of their respective ministers, in order that they might not be exposed to the same profanation by the Russian soldiery as the Catholic ones had been ; the consequence of this measure was that the Rev. Mr. Otto, the Protestant minister, and the Rev. Mr. Meisoles, Jewish Rabbi, had to share the fate of the Canon Bialobrzeski, in the citadel of Warsaw. It was an extraordinary occur rence, but one redounding much to the honour of all, that the heads of the three different religious denominations should suffer together for the same national cause. The Protestant clergyman has been set at large some time ago, owing to the inter. ference of the Prussian Consul ; the Canon Bia lobszeski is undergoing his sentence in a Russian fortress, and Mr. Meisoles, the rabbi, is still an inmate of the citadel. He has been subjected to a strict examination ; his chief crime consists i❑ having signed the address prese,:ted in February list to the Emperor, and thereby induced many of his co-religionists to follow his example; alil as his prolonged imprisonment is tantamount, accord ing to Russian laws, to a civil death, the Govern ment has appointed his successor. But the ques tion is, whether he will be accepted by the Jews. The authorities not being satisfied with the publication of the charges brought against Canon Bialobrzeski, had the impudence to state, in the official journal, that when examined before a court martial the worthy prelate declared that he ordered the churches to be shut because he could not any longer tolerate the singing of the national hymns. If that were the case, why should he be imprisoned and transported into the depth of Rus sia ? The falsehood of such a statement is palpable, and requires no comment. The Council of Administration has had several times under their consideration the peasant ques tion and the project of the Marquis Wielopolski, which is almost the one framed by Count Andrew Zamoyski, while President of the Agricultural Society. With a few modifications it was adopted in spite of the vehement opposition of Mr. Platonow, who, with two other Russian officials, insisted that the land which the peasants now cultivate should be given to them as a gift from the Emperor and not from the proprietors. He argued that the Go vernment in Poland can only place confidence in the p aaants, and it was, therefore, essential that it should secure to itself their devotion and gratitude. It was further proposed by the Russian members to compel every public functionary who receives a salary of £9O per annum to take two annual tickets for the theatre, which is only half filled with the Itussii.ns, but this also fell to the ground. The schools have at last been opened, but the regulations are so vexatious, and the number in each class being limited to 50, it will be difficult, if to induce the youth t ore - enter t h em. not T i h m e o a s r sb r i es l t e s , never cease, and we have daily to chronicle fresh expotts of the victims, no matter what their age or station, to the confines of Siberia. Sixteen Jews have thus been despatched in com pany with two young boys named Kowalski and Hirbicki, the former 12 and the latter 14 years of age. Can anything else give a more com plete idea of the unheardof tyranny exercised by the Government of the so-called " bene volent Emperor Alexander II." Whilst the Czar drowns his cares and troubles in copious libations, and floats in a sea of pleasure at St. Petersburg, his subjects are oppressed and brutalised for no other crime than that of the love of their country. It is, however, consoling to a certain degree that these unfortunate victims, while on their long and dreary journey, are received by the Russian people with every mark of respect and sympathy. Wherever they pass every one is most anxious to testify his feelings and to alleviate their sufferings. Some bring them wine and all kinds of food, others provide them with linen, clothes, and even money. At Pultusk, the officer in com mand of the detachment allowed the prisoners to enter the church; it was on a Sunday during the service. The whole of the congregation rose,and made them approach the altar, where they were blessed by the priest, and on coming out received a perfect ovation from the inhabitants. The same manifes tations were repeated at Lithuania, and in every part of Russia, even at Kazow, and there is no mis take that a great difference of opinion as to the conduct of the Poles exists between the Czar and his own Russian subjects. Several persons have just been arrested at Wilanow who were in the service of the Countess Potocki. Wilanow, situated near Warsaw, was formerly the favourite residence of the King John Sobieski, is one of the most magnificent castles in Europe, and everything , in it preserved with a re ligious care in the same state as when in habited by this celebrated monarch. Wilanow possesses, besides, a hospital containing 700 beds, founded by the family of Potocki. The curate, who was also the Countess's almoner, the keeper of the lodge, and three or four domestics have been sud denly seized and carried away, without any one knowing where and for what reason. Acts of this nature, which are of daily occurrence in Poland, will hardly be credited in free England, but such is the fact, which even the Russian autho rities themselves cannot deny. THE NAVY. The Lords of the Admiralty have concluded an engagement with the firm of Messrs. Jackson and Watkins, engineers, for the supply of requisite machinery for fixing the massive iron-armour plates to the sides of the iron-cased frigate Royal Oak, 51, under construction at Chatham Dockyard. Pre parations were yesterday commenced for the erec tion of the powerful hydraulic engines, manufac tured by Messrs. Bailie, Westwood, and Campbell, London, to be used in bending the heavy slabs of iron to the exact size of the side of the vessel, where they will be fixed. The armour-plates will be bent cold, to effect which the most powerful hydraulic pressure will be required, the engine now erecting alongside the Royal Oak for this purpose being calculated to exert a force of 2,000 tons to the spuare inch. A considerable number of the armour plates have already arrived at the dockyard, and so superior are they that up to the present time only some two or three have been condemned as unfit, the slightest apparent flaw in the texture or quality of the iron insuring their immediate re jection. Sir William Armstrong's 300-pounder experi mental gun recently received at Woolwich was yesterday embarked, by means of a 20-ton crane, in one of the contract lighters, together with its car riage, platform, &c., weighing upwards of 164- tons. It was conveyed to Shoeburyness for proof. One hundred and ten charges, consisting of a 10-inch round shot, wad, and 381 b. of powder each, were likewise forwarded to carry out a severe test of the gun, which, if found sufficient, will be returned to Woolwich and rifled. It will then undergo a second proof. The hired steam transport Ajax, laden with heavy war stores for Bermuda, has sailed from Woolwich pier for her destination, and her berth ht.s been taken up by the sailing ship Island Home, of 800 tons burden, which has commenced receiving shot and shell, also for Bermuda. The screw steam surveying vessel Rifleman, 8, Master Commander John W. Reed, left Plymouth yesterday for China. There exists a vacancy for the admission into Christ's Hospital of the son of a lieutenant in the Royal Navy who had been killed by the public enemy, or has died in the service. The child selected must be between seven and ten years of age, and must have been born in lawful wedlock. The vacancy must be filled before the expiratien of the next three months, and all applications should be addressed to the Secretary of the Admiralty, White hall. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Francis Darrant to the Excellent, as supernumerary ; James B. Walker, second master, to the Victory ; Edward J. Fellowes and James Frank Rivett Carnac have b'en nomi nated to naval cadetships; David Hughes, first class assist.-engineer, to the Indus, for the Clinker, and John Boswell, acting first•class aesist.•engineer, to the Blenheim for the Heron. 711 E ARM,. The service companies of the 51st (King's Own) Light Infantry, in India, being below their proper complement, volunteering for that regiment has been opened among the regiments at the home sta tions, chiefly those serving in Ireland• Intelligence was yesterday received at Chatham that 120 volun teers will arrive in the course of a few days, and join the depot of the 51st, attached to the third depot battalion, in readiness to be despatched to India with the reinforcements forwarded during the ensuing season. Each of the volunteers will receive the sum of one guinea on joining the depot of the regiment at Chatham. The Slat Regiment em barked for India in 1857. An order has been received at Chatham from the War-office, directing that, with a view to obviate the necessity of the purchase of iron for the cupolas for Martin's liquid shells, all the old and unservice able shot and shell suitable for melting in the cupolos is to be retained in such quantities as the officer commanding the Royal Artillery may con • Bider necessary to meet the supply required for the furaaces. Care is to be taken to have the iron for the cupoi'izs as small as possible, in order that they may be the more easily melted. All unserviceable shot and shell are CP nsequently to be broken up by means of the sledgehammers which accompany the cupolas, lumps of iron four inches square being not too large, although they will melt all the more rapidly if smaller. In breaking up the shell great caution is to be exercised, in case there should be powder remaining inside. The following Gentlemen Cadets, from the Royal Military College, who have been g,,:zetted to com missions as Lieutenants in the Cores of Royal Engineers, have joined at head quarters, Chatham, and are posted to the companies named A. Sargeaunt and C. S. Beauchamp, 17th compaOY ; M. W. Rogers and H. L. Lewis, 22d company ; A. Whitmore and H. Champernowne, 26th com pany; F. Firebrace, IV. Osborne, and T. B. B. Savi, 35th company; J. L. Morgan, A. E. Dummler, L. F. Boileau, and W. Sedgwick, 36th company ; A. D. Brooke, G. W. Gifford, A, W. Baird, and A. H. Hime, 37th Company ; S. R. l'el'Culiagh, R. J. IL Parker, and C. E. Pridden, 38th company. Each of the offioers will forthwith commence a course of instruction in the carbine drill and rifle practice. Yesterday a District Court-martial, which as sembled at Chtitharn on the previous day, under the Presidency of Major F. G. 'l'. Deshon, attached to the Staff of the 2d depot battalion, for the trial of Private George Bowman, of the Chatham divi sion, terminated its sitting. The prisoner was handed over to Sergeant Green, the non commis sioned officer in charge of the guard, to be placed in confinement in the guard-room for a breach of mili tary discipline. During the time he was being re moved to the lock up, after he had been placed in confinement, the prisoner made use of the most violent language towards the sergeant, and more than once expressed his determination to shoot him on the first opportunity. At the termination of the evidence for the prosecution, the Court found the prisoner guilty, hut the sentence will not be pro mulgated until it has been confirmed by the General commanding the district.
