Mexico is a country well known to be teeming with in exhaustible mineral resources, from which Spain formerly derived enormous riches, and thus added materially to her Ereatoess and prosperity. The intervention in the affairs of Mexico by the Allied Po wers—England, France, and Spain—by givieg confi • dence. ; to British enterprise, will, undoubtedly, add wealth to those who early embark in the mineral developments of thr,t country. _ e This Company i PROSPECTUS. th s formed for th e p urpose o f purc h as i ng rich and extensive copper, gold, silver, and lead mines, called La Purisima and Dos Amigos, with their Pertenen. situatectas coveling 56 acres, including all lodes and veins therein, in Huacayvo, Chihuahua, adjoining the State of Sonora, ion the Gulf of California. Also "for the purchase of a large tract of land surround mg these mines, held in perpetuity by virtue of a decree of th e State thickly covered with wood s an d f orests, the Whole estimated at 142,000 acres. ~And further, for the purpose of working the above mines, t,tied erecting works for the reduction of the ores, by which 1. 14 Company will reap the double profits arising respec tively from mining and smelting. 4 , The rivers Fuerte, or Urique, and Papagochi running urough the prop er ti es a ff or d ample and most valuable water P we r. The Government has conceded, for a period of five years, absolute exemption from all taxes, levies, and duties of 'Whatsoever kind or nature. _ The pre sence o f r i ch ores cropping out and appearing on the surface of these mines, and the-lialtilriirthe lodes, is lablished by the survey and report of Mr. Robert L. Aurnaile, an English engineer resident in Sonora, and t he accredited Government mining engineer and assayer for t hat State, and fully corroborated in a valuable paper road by Mr. Charles Sevin, F.R.,G.5., before the Royal Geogra phical Society of London, so far back as January 24th, .1 859 (See Journal of that Society for 1860).—Extracts from e'dorts to be seen at the Company's offices and in full rospectus. The richness of the lode is proved from assays made by D'Aumaile on the spot of ores taken promiscuously from every part of the vein, by which an average of 33 per eent. of copper has been obtained, while those assays tested Europe by 'Messrs. Johnson and Son, Basinghall-street, -London, anct by Mr. Thomas Penrose, assayer to Messrs. Richardson and Co., Swansea, give still more favourable results, heading to the inference that the yield of metal ex ceeds east of any copper mines yet discovered.—Statement A A ssays s to be seen at th e Company's offices and in full . It is proposed by the Company to smelt the ores upon the tround, adjacent to the mines, and only to transport the metal to the coast, thereby lessening the expense of carriage to the port of shipment. It is estimated that the very large alloy of gold and silver which the metal contains will be etzfficient to pay the cost of transport of the copper to a trropean market. Very rich gold deposits are also found in various parts of the main vein. Under these circumstances it is scarcely necessary to say that the profits of the undertaking, with ordinarily prudent management. must be large, in further proof of which the liendors have consented to postpone the payment of half the Purchase-money until the net profits shall amount in any one year to 20 per cent, on the called.up capital. , The purchase of this valuable m i nera l p r operty, includ ,ng the existing reduction works, plant, machinery, &c., tog-ether with the territorial grant, and all privileges attached thereto, without any reservation of rights or royalties, has been agreed for w ith th e propr i e t ors upon t h e following advantageous terms : That £lO,OOO be paid, and 5,000 paid-up shares be allotted to them on delivery of the property to the Com th s confidential agent, to be d es p a t c h e d t o M ex i co for a't, purpose. That a deferred payment of £lO,OOO and an additional allotment of 3,000 paid- up shares be made when the net Profits shall amount in any one year to 20 per cent. on the c alled-up capital. , That, on a dividend being d ec l are d, th e shares given to t he proprietors, in payment for the property, shall only bo c o - nsidered in value the same as the shares of thesubscribing s hareholders, whatever amount may have been paid up on Juan A. Robinson, Esq., of the port of Guaymas, Gulf of California, Sonora, has undertaken with the assistance of the Company's confidential agent, the management of the !Vries, and the establishment of the reduction works on ' Lie spot, until such time as the enterprise shall have proved remunerative and a. dividend shall have been declared. The long residence of this gentleman in the country, toge ther with his great practical experience and high commer cial standing, ensure to the Company an additional guaran tee for its success. Samples of the ores, as well as of th e copper, go ld , an d ilver extracted from tile mines, together with maps of the locality, may be seen at the offices of the Company. All charges for agency, promoti on , a d vert i sements, brokers' commission, legal and other expenses, i nc l u di ng thl costs and fees of registration of the Company, have been , ee,timated not to exceed 3 per cent. on the nominal capital cf the Company.

Established 1824. Empowered by Special Act of Parliament , 1862. The Report presented ßONUS at a eetin MEETIN M g G held on the 2d January last, for the declaration of the Seventh Bonus, showed, in evidence of the progress of the Society, that during the quin quennial period which terminated on the 30th of June, 1861, New Assurances for a total sum of £1,486,370 had been effected, being an increase of £62,215 on those of the previous five years ; that The Income had increased from £166,800 to £195,400 per annum; that The Assurance Fund had risen from £4154,276 to £1,422,191; and that a Reversionary Addition to the Policies of £275,077 was then made, as against £212,479 at the prior division. In illustration of the results of the Division, that the Reversionary Addition above named averaged 48 per cent., or varied with the different ages from 33 to 89 per cent. on the Premiums paid in the five Years ; and that the Ca , h 80111.19 averaged 2.% per cent. on the like Premiums, Wing - amongst the largest ever declared by any office. The Report explained at length the nature of the invest ments, and the bases of the calculations, the results of which, as above shown, are eminently favourable. The following are among the distinctive features of the Society: Credit System.—On Policies for the whole of life, one half of the Annual Premiums during the first five years may remain on credit, and may either continue as a debt on the Policy, or be paid off at any time. Policies for Te?rns of Years may be effected at rates pecu liarly favourable to Assurers. Invalid lives may be assured at Premiums proportioned to the increased risk. Prompt Settlement of Claims.—Claims paid thirty days after proof of death. The Ac •ounts and Balance Sheets are at all times open to the inspection of the Assured, or of persons proposing to assure. Tables of Rates, Forms of Proposal, the'Report above men tioned, and a detailed account of the proceedings of the Bonus Meeting, can be obtained from any of the Society's Agents, or of GEORGE CUTCLIFFE. Actuary and Secretary, 13, St. James's-square, London, S. W. The Next Division of Profits will take place in January. 1867, and persons who effect New Policies before the end of June next will be entitled at that Division to one year's additional share of profits over later Assurers. p R OYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BO A T INSTITUTION _,___ FOR THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM SHIPWRECK, (Incorporated by Royal Charter).

DECAY OF THE OTTOMAN POPULA TION.-A MORAL LESSON.—Some time since an article in the Times, on the decay of the Mussulman popu lation in Asia Minor, attracted much attention, both amongst politicians and physiologists. Referring to the visible and portentous fact, the writer did not hesitate to ascribe it mainly to one peculiar and vitiating influence, which is more destructive of happiness, health, and life than any other in dividual cause that could be named. The truth and soundness of the writer's views were ad mitted. It would be moat salutary if we could gather from his reasonings and demonstrations instruction applicable to our own social condition. Is it not a fact that, In innumerable instances, matrimonial disappointment and misery, unwilling celibacy, physical and mental anguish, the existence of which is known only to the sufferer himself, hay:: their source in causes the germ of which is often planted in early life, and ttie bitter fruit tasted long afterwards. Dr. LAMERT, M.D., &c., is the only qualified practitioner on the Medical Register, and has been engaged for 20 years in the treatment of these unhappy cases, which, through the disappointment of just expectations, seriously compromise family objects and prospects, and prevent the accomplish ment of designs on which important interests depend.

Mr. Street's wife, whose maiden name was, Wheatley, has e._ ,ml relations in America, h.er parents and several of her brothers having emi grated to that country some twenty years ago. In January last, a letter was received, pnrportiog to be from one of her relatives, stating that her father had died possessed of considerable property, which: he had left among the members of his family, -im equal shares, of which she was, of course, entitled to one. The death of the father was said to have bean caused by accident, the partict, Jars of which were detailed. Nothing more was hears) till Satur day last, when Mr. Street was sent for to the Sir Isaac Newton, where, he was told, a person, wanted to see him. On going to the hostelry he found a stranger, who, after some prCirninary questiunp, introduced himself as Mrs. Street's brother, arrived from America. After partaking of a sociai glass together, the new found relative was invited to Mr. Street's house, where he embraced his sister,., an 3 soon became quite at home in the hcißtin of the , funily. Mrs. Street had, however, sums doubt" as to the stranger being her brother; but the ;members. of her family had been separated many.yoirts, and therefore she thought possibly it might be e• brother of whom she had lost all recollection. Tie stranger seeing that she did not feel quite sum about him, as she kept saying, " I can't think ass you really are my brother, " got up to go away ; f s e a e i li , ng " Nonsense, man, take the hospitality of his house he at husband, stake: d ebr youth ga e ; t i s aZi s off your coat and s it d own to t ea ." Th e asked Lis s t ra nger complied, and a f ter d o i ng su b s t ant i a l anc of the house of Wheatley, the death of the .

He also showed them one of his fingers, which had been bent inwards, and said, " How odd it was he and the old man should have a finger injured int the same rnanner."—Mrs. Street's father had suf fered from such injury; and gradually the doubt& as to his identity passed away. In the evening, after Mr. Street had finished his day's business, he and the stranger went out and had a glass or two toge ther, the American insisting on paying his share of the reckoning, saying, " that was the way they did things in his country." • He further pulled out some American coins from his pocket, and talked about them, and how he got them, and what an excellent place he had in America on one of the railways as guard, -where he got 50s. per week, and should not have given it up, nly he had now come into a share of old Mr. Wheatley's money. Hefurther pointed)~ to a cut on his forehead, saying he had been throv, - 73z from an express4rain, and had a very narrow escape, almost as providential as his escape from the well before mentioned. By the following day, which he said was his birthday, he had made him self perfectly at home; and a plum pudding wag prepared by Mrs. Street, and her aunt living in the:. town was invited. As soon as be saw the good lady coming, this affectionate relative went to the door and kissed her, saying how glad he was to see her, and so forth. The next morning he borrowed some clean linen, saying he had only brought a dickey with him, as all his things were coming by the goods train, his boxes being too heavy to move by ordi nary conveyance: - Another difficulty occurred—all his money was in notes of America, and paper not negotiable all at once ; and, as it would cost him more than £1 for carriage, he borrowed 30s. of the Streets, and then went up to the aunt's and bor rowed L 1 from her on a like pretext. He then went out to fetch and pay for his boxes, and has not since been heard of. It turns out that the coins he produced, as having just brought over from America, were obtained from Mr. Street's children; but the father did not find this out until too late. When he took his departure he left behind him an old shirt in the place of a better article borrowed, which has on it the name "ti'V. Horn," and the figures 2,205, with the letters E. Y. M. Gm This, with the de scription of the person given to the police, is all by which he can be traced. PRICE..... —..4d. STAMPED ....sd. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGIS- I RATEs.

THE PRISONS. The reports from the prisons were brought up and read. In Coldbath-fields House of Correction there were 1,688 prisoners. In Westminster Bride well 615 females, and in the House of Detention 183, on remand or committed. The report from the Industrial School at Feltham stated that on the 31st December there were 468 juvenile offenders there, and gave a very satisfac tory account of the progress that, under the auspices of the committee, had been made in reforming the children. It was reported from Coldbath-fields that the cell accommodation was insufficient, and that a sum of £26,930 would be asked for to provide that which was requisite. Lieut.-Col. WOOD moved, pursuant to notice— " That the employment as governor of the House of Correction, at Coldbath-fields, and the command of a volunteer regiment, are incompatible."

He knew, from a military experience of over 40 years, what the duties of a commanding officer were. The governor of Coldbath- fields was in command of a regiment numbering about 700 rank and file. He (Colonel Wood) had a regiment about 300—less than half—and the issuing of orders, and corres pondence which was absolutely necessary, discipline properly carried out, and constant attention, left but little time for a commanding officer to anything but his corps. It required constant and unvarying attention. Who was, he would ask, answerable if anything went wrong ? The commanding officer, who was responsible to the Government. And how could the governor of a large prison, with 1,800 pri soners in his charge, properly attend to his duties in that capacity, and at the same time have the com mand of a volunteer regiment ? It could not be. Suppose a riot occurred in the prison while the governor was at drill, far distant from home. The governor had a good salary (Z6OO a-year) and a house to live in; and the Act of Parliament said that no person should be engaged in any i c.other occupation. The governor must, therefore, he maintained, relinquish one office or the other. The motion having been seconded, a long discus slim took phtee4n which Mr. Armstrong, Mr.Kems head, Mr. P. N. Laurie, Lord Ranelagh, Lord En field, and Mr. Turner, took part. By a vote of 31 to 21 " It was resolved, that the Court duly appre ciating the spirit in which the letter from Lieut.- Col. Colville to the visiting justices, C.C.8.F., has been written, offering to resign his appointment of lieutenant-colonel of a volunteer corps, should be accepted,which he accepted with the sanction of the visiting justices ; but the Court,having regard to the paramount duty of a governor of a prison, feel it incumbent to accept the resignation tendered to the visiting justices." Agreed to by 31 to 21. A letter from Col. Colville was appended to the report, the substance of which was that he did not seek or solicit for the appointment ; he obtained permission to take it, and was ready to resign it when required. Not the least fault had been found as to the duties of the lieutenant-colonel of the vo lunteers corps (the 39th Middlesex) interfering with those of his duties as governor of the prison, the actual business of the corps being done by the ad jutant and secretary. There were occasional refer ences to him as commanding officer.

These stalls have now been replaced by an elegant and com modious building, in every way suitable to the requirements of the district. The building, which is in the Venetian style, is two storeys high, and has a frontage of 90 feet to London-r)acl, where is the principal entrance. There are also two entrances from Birmingham-street, and two from Swarbrick-street, by both of which streets the market is bounded. The lower part of the front portion of the building is divided into shops, which are already let off to persons in different ways of business. The upper storey is used for offices, some of which have been taken by Messrs. Carver and Co. carriers, and some by the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company. The market itself is behind these shops and offices, and covei''ttti space of 90 feet by 70 feet. It is approached by a. porch, over the doorway of which is a pyramidal device showing the purposes to which the market is to be devoted. The cornice contains the words " Goadsby, Mayor, 1862 ;" above which are the Man c h rum e ss s , at t rhr e ak r adse A et aremvo surmountsen s r , s yi c s a tp r sl v en ed afst i i ht n nheg s r t ow o ne n hffb e oea , l cey a t. a n . d a nT a Tph n hpe o eo r rir n net eta isedm r i e bao n ycr i piotraifollant the pilasters, liars, and lighted by skyli g ht s .

Taylor. The market will be opened on Saturday the 26th inst. The visiting justices, in their report, said the dis cipline of the prison had been well maintained, and they had not called upon the governor to give up the commission he had been permitted to accept. The salary of the matron or keeper of the House of Correction, at Westminster, was increased from £250 to £3OO a year. Several superannuation allowances were granted to prison officers. A good deal of formal business having been gone through, the Court adjourned. AN AMERICAN::GUERILLA. The name of this mysterious marauder, John Morgan, is on the lips of every one, for his cool ness and disregard of fear has become a byword even among our own army. This Colonel Morgan, for so he styles himself, is said to be a native of Lexington, Ky., whose father was a respectable manufacturer of jeans. From his youth this Mor gan has won the admiration of all who knew him for his dare-devil recklessness, which even now does not seem to have diminished in the least. We first heard of him when our brigade (the eighth) was, a portion of them, encamped at Pilot Knob, Mo., in September last. Our pickets were shot by some mysterious agency, and report stated, in camp, that a tall, heavy man, with flowing beard, mounted on an immense black stallion, fleet as the wind, was several times detected in the act of retreating. Shot after shot was fired after him, but he seemed to bear a charmed life. We lest sight of him until just before we left Cairo, when he appeared one night suddenly, and shot two of our pickets. Again he appeared at Bacon Creek, Kentucky, and burnt the railway bridge under M'Cook's nose, shot one of his pickets, and rode on before the army had recovered from its surprise. You remember his bold attack upon our lines on Saturday, the Bth of March, in Mitchell's division, and again on Sunday morning, at daylight, upon M'Cook's camp, on the Franklin pike. The very same Sunday, this Morgan, dis guised as a countryman, and dressed in butternut coloured clothes, obtained a pass from General Mitchell, who did not know him, and had the auda city to dine at the City Hotel in company with our own officers, making good his escape with p erfect nonchalance. He came very near capturing General Nelson on e d a y l as t wee k. The plot was di scovered in time to be frustrated, but not to catch the rogue. He has since captured the railroad train running c between Louisville and Nashville at Gallatin, taking 30 bridge-builders prisoners, but re leasing them, as be seeks higher game. one of has boasted that h of our generals as an off set he favourite. H e ha s o ff ere d pe c being Buckner's es i I a reward of 1,000 doffs. to any citizen or officer who will catch him and his steed, and, strange to say, disguised, has made those bets openly before our officers, who at the time did not know him. Such is Col. John Morgan, the famous rebel scout, who, though he deserves hanging, yet wins admiring opi nions from enemies as well as friends for his daring. —.New York Times.

CH 1N ROME. Up on the Pincian, next to the different branches of the French service which always muster there in force, and form a separate class from the unkempt Papal musketeers and solitary ruminants of the foreign brigade, the ecclesiastics do most in the way of costume to vary the scene: Even the gaunt Capuchin condescends to scuffle up thither, and to become infinitesimally less ugly and gloomy amidst the green and the flowers than he always is in his haunts down below. He is genera lly accompanied by a brother half or twice his own height;_ but the short, thick-set Carm e lite is pretty sure tobo alone, and appears to be g e tting as much asceticism as he can out of the half-hour for which he throws him self into the unsanctified world around him. The other orders of regulars and grades of seculars are less distinctive or worth particularising, but the unfledged priesthood of the seminaries press them selves upon the sphere of observation. In divers colours, and cassocked to the he els, they emerge, two a l a l ina lld n two, rtnce ro r t n i t tn, the andless set frequented example of lugu ibnriu their , c must find it diffi cult to avoid bur lesquing.

After a peep down into the deep fosse of the walls of Aurelian, u glance at the Arcadia of flee Y,orghese grounds, and another thoughtful survey of the conspicuous edifices of modern Rome, among which the creamy richness of the travertine of St. Peter's fur nishes quite an oasis of colour, you follow the French band and the crowd down into the Corso. There, in a thoroughfare to which Holborn offers an imposing contrast, those who have not yet had enough show for the evening, contrive to insert their equipages into the string of vehicles that parade up and down at a foot's pace. It makes them happy to gain another look at themselves end their made'up children, where carriages have no independents of movement, and pedestrians option about kicking or being kicked i n the heels. —Once a Week,. - - The steam advi c e-boat Rodeur has returned t o Toulon, after having visited in succession all the p o i n t s en the east co as t o f that port suitable for forming oyster banks, which are to be laid down from Toulon as far as Nice.

PUBLICATIONS, AbST_RALIA AND THE EXHIBITION. The Australian department of the International Exhibi tion is at length showing symptoms of activity. The goods from New South Wales and South Australia are delivered, and the fittings in a forward state. The Victorian collec tion arrived on the 10th inst., by the Great Britain, just as the Royal Commissioners had decided on taking back into their own hands the space allotted for it, inconsequence of there being no one in England to represent the colony or to prepare the fittings. The New Zealand Court is being lined and fitted by Messrs. Smee and Sons, of Finsbury•pave ment ; and Messrs. Morgan Brothers are commencing the counters for 'Western Australia. The bulk of the articles at q,resent in the building is from New South Wales and South Australia, and consists of timber and metallic ore. The articles for exhibition from Western Australia are looked for daily by the Gloucester, but those from New Zealand are scarcely expected at present. The Australian division will be arrived at on entering from Exhibition-road, by passing obliquely under the eastern dome. The greater part of the goods being at present unpacked, or covered over with cloth, it is difficult to say what appearance they will make, but it is certain that the courts will be well filled —New Zealand particularly, which has more space for its seven provinces than Western Australia, will, we are in formed, not have room enough for the display of the arti cles advised to Mr. Morrison, the commissioner. It is pro posed that the flag of each colony should be displayed on its court, but we believe this will not be universally, even if generally, complied with. It is a pity that there has not been a meeting of the commissioners of the several colonies to bring about a general understanding, which would ensure something like an rufformity of apiearance. It is perhaps not now too late for us to throw out the suggestion. Dr. Lindley and Mr. Simmonds have their hands full now, but we have no doubt they will do their work well, and that the result will justify the Royal Commissioners in appoint ing them to the post. The little cold, shabby Colonial Office only reached over a heap of soddened clay, and when reached scarcely large enongh to turn oneself in, must, we should think, have sadly embarrassed them in their business. When Mr. Simmouds comes forth from his ricketty shed to look Upon the Australian display in its splendour we trust he will favour us with his impressions of thework which he and his able coadjutor have been so instrumental in for warding.—Australian Mail. -I-' RITH'S CELEBRATED DERBY DAY, WILL OPEN on SATURDAY next, April 19, at the UPPER GALLERY, 120, Pall Mall.

FREIV CH AGRICULTURE. A letter from Poissy says—France, pre-eminently the country of revolutions, now offers the spectacle of one from which nothing but good can be expected. It is not the ouvriers rising to overturn the Empire, but the Emperor seeking to consolidate his power by opening up the re sources of the country, and gtving to capital that confidence which can only be derived fr‘m a firm Government. The special phase of this revolutign I am here to chronicle is soon explained. A number of cattle, sheep, and pigs are collected at Poissy, near to Pti y is, and are here ranged side by side with some fine represeriativeis of our English breeds. The whole are drawn together by a lirge amount of prize money, amounting to £5,938, exclusive of gold medals and cups offered by the French Government. There is more in all this than appears to a casual observer. There are but few who remember what England was 80 years ago; but those who have made themselves acquainted with the pro digious change which has occurred in our agriculture will be at no loss to recognise the significance of a bucolic as semblage like this, nor of the presence here of the cylindri cally formed English short-horn. France, too often led Ly clever clap- trap, once felt herself flattered by the well-known saying, "France is rich enough to pay for her glory." Sha now seems disposed to say, France is rich enough in glory to think of her finances ; and certainly if we by the action of public opinion can en courage her in this wise decision it will not be own interests alone that we shall serve. Eo soon as the fertile soil of France shall be made to yie.d its increase, and bread shall be cheap, and contentment shall promenade in holiday attire the Champs Elysees, ben may that immense stand ing army (so expensive a btgbear to England) gradually merge again into the populace, and from being an unpro ductive element, serve by its welt-directed energies in trade, commerce, and agriculture t) augment the national wealth. It is a very common notion that Napoleon is a profound man, that he returned to France as the elected of the people, with a mysteriously forecast plan of domestic and foreign policy, to which everything has been made to bend, and which will eventually land him above the reach of deadly pro jectiles in some third heaven or other. There are those, how ever, who have always esteeraed him a man of simple though bold cast of mind, having a singularly sagacious knowledge of the French character. He seems to have made blunders like other men, and if he has had plans, to have deviated from them when circumstances have required it of him. The main single idea to which he has kept true seems to have been the development of the internal resources of the country, and particularly those of the soil. There is some thing said about some memorable speech of his, wherein he tells his countryrhen that be represents a defeat, and a de feat to be revenged; but looking at him, and at the charac ter of his reign, there is reason to think that he must just then have been in an ironical mood, and alluded to the rural defeat so lucidly portrayed by M. de Lavergne, wh ere h e shows statistically that the soil of England, th oug h l ess fertile, produces just twice as much as that of Fran ce . Nothing is more certain than that in apiculture the u ssis er going direct dir rap t encouragement forward, and th a t it i s u.ragement and g w o o in rk g offorpwrogre under forward foster ing care of the Emperor. Aware that example is more in fluential than predept, he possesses farms in all quarters of his dominions. They are model establishments, and are designed to show to the cultivators of the - neighbourhood round what they may do to imprsve their breeds of cattle add their methods of cereal culture. The Emperor is, in fact, the largest farmer in his domains any at rate, if not in Europe. He cultivates 51,000 acres of land, and gives to his rural affairs an attenticn as hearty as he does to affairs military and naval. The year before last, when the Em press visited the Smithfield Cattle SW:4w, the hon. secre tary was amazed by the minute intimacy which that lady discovered with the breeds and sub-breeds of France, and also with those of England. The Government is encou raging agriculture far and wide. There are 12 regional cattle shows throughout France annually. It would be better, certainly, that these shows should be due to private enterprise, and not to the governing power; but if private enterprise is at fault, it is well that official alertness should take its place. All is yet contained within a little official world, but the dimensions of this world are growing larger. These meetings and the large prizes offered by the Govern ment are drawing every year more exhibitors, and every man who attends returns to his herd, his flock, or his town agricultural association, the wiser for the experience thus gained. But, beyond the influence thus brought to bear, there are 71 agricultural schools, for the purpose of train ing boys in correct theoretical principles of cultivation and in the proper reduction of those principles to prac tice. These co-exist with colleges of agriculture, breed ing establishments where the best English cattle are kept, national flocks and studs of thoroughbred horses, and a bank of credit fonder, by means of which wonders are wrought beyond the barrieres of Paris quite equal to those which astonish even the residents within them. It will not surprise anybody to know, after what has been stated, that there is springing up a reading agricultural public, and this intelligent taste is being nourished by such perio dicals as the Journal d'Agriculture Pratique and the Revue Abricole, and by such works as those whioh M. de Lavergne has recently furnished for the edification of English as well as French readers. Notwithstanding all this advance, and all these aids to advancement, much remains to be done. The last-named writer, after showing that the gross produce of land in France has increased from 16s. an acre in 1789 to 19s. an acre in 1815, and to 325. an acre in 1859, goes on to say that this progress, had not half the time that has elapsed since the Revolution been wasted, might have been twice as great. " A neighbouring country, in which the princi ples of 1789 have been, notwithstanding a few apparent exceptions, more anciently and more constantly applied than with us, has accomplished in the same time a progress much more rapid still. In 1789 the United Kingdom had thirteen millions and a half inhabitants; in 1856 its popu lation had increased to 28 millions, without reckoning the millions of English-born individuals scattered in distant colonies and all over the world. The population of Eng land has thus more than doubled, whilst ours has increased only by one-third. It has taken us 70 years to reclaim five million acres of waste lands, suppress half of our bare fel lows, double our agricultural produce, increase our popu lation by 30 per cent., wages 100 per cent., and rent 160 per cent. At this rate we should require three-quarters of a century more to reach the point of prosperity which England has already attained." Our neighbours, however, do not seem disposed to travel at this tardy rate. They have devised a short cut, and certainly it is the best they can adopt. Observing the pro digious results which are due to the appreciative selection of animals for reproduction, exercised by our breeders of cattle and sheep, and the substitution of some three or four pure and noble breeds in each division, in place of a great many poor ones, which were only valuable so long as local circumstances, since extinguished, rendered them so, the French landed proprietors have readily availed themselves of the stack so obtained, and we are glad they should have done so. The establishment of what is called the short horn breed has proved a mine of wealth to us. In Ireland and our colonies it is working wonders ; and already, as is visible at Poissy, it has set its seal upon some of the French local breeds. The Herefords and cer tain Scotch breeds have also been imported into France with the best effects. Our readers will perhaps scarcely be prepared for the announcement that there is now quite a bulky short-horn herd-book. Turning over the volume published this year, it is observable that 1,645 pedigree ani mals are therein entered, bred or imported by 140 breeders, including tho Emperor. This has boon going on for 25 years. Were this show to exhibit all the French breels it would be much more extcnsivo than it is. From the little steers of Mori an and the miscroscopic Bretonne cows to the colossal animals of Cotentin or of Agenois— from the stunted sheep of the Landes or Ardennes to the long-backed Dishley merinos, there is a variety of types sufficient to fill an indefinite space. No one who glances at the geological structure of the surface of the country could be astonished at this. It is clear enough that plains and mountains, rocks and marshes, granitic, calcareous, clay or sandy soils, the sun of the north or of the south,,cli mates rigorous or temperate, dry or damp, variable or constant, are circumstances that will account for this diver- - - sity. There are the physical agencies which give rise to breeds. To some extent these are variable. There are also economic conditions such as the movements of popula tion, the facilities of communicution, and the opening of markets. The bovine breeds have, for instance, hitherto been more used, to plough the land, and draw the load, and give milk, butter, and cheese, than nurtured to pro duce meat. But now a change arises in the public taste, and it is felt that a bullock fattened after having worked five years is as incompatible with juicy beef as to spend four or five years in bringing a steer to ma t ur it y w h en it can be done elsewhere in two or three, INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.

By F. B. COURTENAY, ' - - • And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long profession a l lif e, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular.

REY ENUE OF NEW ZEALAND. The ordinary and territorial revenue for the financial year ending June, 1861, was £500,368, of which sum £270,578 was derived from land sales. As the total revenue in 1860 from the same sources amounted to £461,738, we have, in the present case, an increase of £35,630, showing over the increase of 1860 a progressive increase of 7 to I—the in crease of 1860 over 1859 being only £5,089, The expendi ture during the year 1866-61, for administrative purposes was £153,046, and disbursements by the receivers of land sales amounted to £276,438, leaving a surplus made up from this and other sources of £76,744 to be distributed among the different provinces. Deducting the revenue derived from the sale of lands, the remaining amount was made up principally by customs duties, from which source alone £204,651 were received. The post-office contributed £11,581; and fees and fines levied in the various courts added £9,034 to the year's revenue. The expenditure, on the other hand, may be, classed under the following chief items :—The Civil List figured for £19,000; permanent charges for interest for £7,408, and permanent charges un der acts of the General Assembly for £14,074. The Exe cutive of the whole colony absorbed only £3,418 (an ex ample worthy of imitation at home). The legislative (by which, we presume, the various expenses of the two cham bers and their officers are meant) cost £11,101; customs required £17,005; the postal service was performed for £32,725 ; while the miscellaneous items were contented with an outlay of £11,633. Having shown the abundant reve nues with the comparatively small expenditure of New Zealand, we will proceed to explain by more figures how these revenues have increased from year to year, and the prospect they afford of the future prosperity of the country. For this purpose we can ask for no better guide than the customs returns for the quarter ending Sept. 30, 1861, com pared with the returns of the corresponding quarter in 1860. The total amount received by the customs for the Septem ber quarter of 1860 was £45,789; and for that of 1861, £66,934, an increase of £21,145. While the value of the articles imported was only £417,165 in the 1860 quarter, in 1861 it had risen to M 86,118, an increase of £168,953. The duties were, it will be observed, entirely levied on luxuries, such as spirits, wine, tobacco, sugar and tea, and coffee— although, porhape, the last three may be exempted, by their universal use, from that title. Spirits produced to the cus tom-house treasury £28,131, an increase of £7,887 on the corresponding quarter of 1860. Tobacco gave £6,982, with an increase of £2,073. Wine contributed £3,140, and an increase of £715. Tea brought in £3,685, an increase of £1,184. Sugar, £6,815, showing £1,701 increase ; while coffee and cocoa more than doubled their previous contri butions by affording £1,167 to the revenue instead of £666 as in 1860.—New Zealand Examiner. ANOTHER GREAT OIL WELL STRUCK IN CANADA (From the Chatham Planet,) Oil Springs, March 17, 1862. There is almost constantly observable improvement in this village —one year ago there were but a few adventu rous persons in here, looking for oil—to-day there are not less than 1,500 inhabitants. We have four stores, keeping a large assortment of wares and goods, one of them, a Mr. Thompson's, would be a credit to any town, two tailoring establishments, three shoemakers, three blacksmiths, one foundry almost completed, one tinsmith, two butchers, numerous carpenters and joiners, bricklayers and masons, one brick kiln, one large timber yard, one baker, several land agencies, one physician, one printing press that will issue a number this present week, one schoolhouse, one livery stable, three lines of stages, 15 refineries, one hotel, and one tavern—and no drinking saloons. Thus, you per. ceive, we have all the trades represented, and every man has work enough to keep himself employed. We have no sawmill nearer than four miles—we want one here very much—it would be a very profitable investment. The inha bitants are greatly excited regarding a name for the place ; they do not like the present one of Oil Springs; cannot some one help us to an appropriate one ? Messrs. Pike and Thompson on Saturday afternoon "struck oil" in large quantities. As yet it cannot be called a flowing well, because of the immense quantity of water that was in the well, it being BxB feet, 60 feet to the rock, but when the water shall have been pumped out, and pipes inserted, there is no doubt but it will flow as largely as any of its predecessors. This well is also further westward, and about one mile from Shaw's. It is said that the oil is the very best quality that has been found here—its colour a dark bottle green, and almost odourless. This well is one of the old surface wells, drilled to a depth of 218 feet, and proves, as I asserted before, that there is a rock oil below the surface yielding wells. Quite a new spirit has been infused into the owners of surface wells by this finding, as it has been so o g il en w er h a e l r ly e s a urf rec ace eiv o e il d w op as ini fo o un n d th . at T t h h e er v e al d u i e d o n f o l t an ex d is in t rock westward part of the village is already held at an advance over former prices. The committee appointed by the oil producers leave here for Hamilton to-day, to confer with a committee appointed by the capitalists of Toronto and elsewhere, to perfect the arrangement for shipping oil to European markets. The reports of oil brokers in Liverpool have encouraged the oil men by their urgent appeal for any quantity of the crude petroleum, at very largely remunerative prices. TIIE COUNT OF PARIS ON DUTY.—I called this morning upon Gen. M'Clellan and found the officers of his staff preparing to leave during the day for Alexandria. The general not being visible at so early an hour, I stepped into a tent pointed me by a sentry, and was immediately inter rogated by a young aide-de-camp as to the object of my visit. This officer, apparently some two or three and twenty years old, was dressed in the plain, dark blue suit of a cap tain, the unpretending straps with the two gold lace bars showing his rank. Tall and well formed, his handsome face was bedecked with moustache and nascent beard, growing a l' Americainc; his tent, though roomy, was perfectly Spartan in adornment, being somewhat below the average of most of the volunteer officers. The narrow bed, about two feet six wide, was covered with close army blankets, but no sheets, and the entire arrangements betokened a supremo contempt of luxury. He sat on his bed and conversed with me for half an hour, the subject being the conduct of the warand the attitude of the English Government during the present troubles of the Republic. The young captain's ac cent was slightly foreign ; otherwise, his knowledge of our language was perfect, much more so than is generally found amongst foreigners. I may as well state that I was convers ing with the Comte de Faris—a fact of which I was at first unaware, but learned it subsequently by " gessing," as they say here. The count is a powerful young fellow physically, and I am sure must be a very agreeable companion with his associates, for his observations to me were both just and witty, and not in the slightest degree tinctured with arro gance. Whatever fortunes may be in store icr him, I be• lieve he will prove worthy of them ; and he certainly showed himself perfectly at home amongst the Republicans of the New World.—Letter froin, Fairfax, BENSON'S WATCHES AND CLOCKS.- —" Perfection of mechanism."—Morning Post.
