This Company haying purchased the fee simple of eight sec tions, containing 6 6 3 acres of mineral g round and freehold land, at Strathalbyn, about thirty miles from Adelaide, in South Australia, and within thirty miles of the 'Murray River, is formed for the working of the valuable copper mines which have been opened out and partially worked there , but suspended for want of efficient Machinery. captains, who have personally superintended Competent mining the mines report most favourably of the stratification, and there is no reason to doubt the Strathalbyn district is a continuation of the same favourable ground in which are the celebrateel Burra Burrs and Kaptinda Mines. On this property some eight or ten lodes have been proved, vary ing from one, four, .six, to ten feet in width, comprised of steatite. grey fluccan, and oxide of iron or gossan, in which are found the yellow, black, and grey sulphuret of copper ores and iron pyrites, and in some of them native copper has been found. Shafts have been sunk on four of the lodes, and from two to three hun dred tons of ore have been raised. Several of the lodes are parallel, and situate so close to each other as to facilitate workings on a most comprehensive scale. Samples of the ore reduced to regulns by a small furnace on the spot, have been sent to this coun try, a portion of which has been assayed by Mr. Johnson, of Hatton garden, and produces 4S per cent. of pure copper. There is also abundance of wood on the spot and In the imme diate neighbourhood, so that the ore may be smelted at a trifling cast, which gives this mine advantages over others, and it possesses easy means of transmitting the copper to Adelaide or Encounter Bay. The mineral riches of the South Australian district have never been surpassed in the history of mining enterprise, as will be seen from the following extract from the Great National Exhibition Ca talogue, of the working of the Burrs Barra Mines, and the profits realised : Tons. cwt.

The money value of this ore is 738,1081." Altogether. the advantages of this South Australian Copper Mining Company are such as to warrant the most sanguine ex pectations. Specimens of the ore reduced to regulus, and assayed copper therefrom, also Mr. Johnson's certificate, and the reports of experi • enced copper miners, may be seen at the often of the company. To work these mines to an immediate profit no delay need take place beyond the time necessary for putting up the requisite ma chinery. Including the estimates for erecting the new works and the neces sary machinery, and for the purchase of the fee simp!e of the land and mines, with the plant now on the premises, it is proposed to -aise a capital of 50,0001., which will be more than sufficient for he purpose—after deducting the purchase-money to be paid to the 'romoters tor their interests, and for the fee-simple of the ground Ind the money expended on the mine.

FEBRuAgY,IBS2. amtb ro b - .fo LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1852. Fortunately for the country, there are no lack of opportunities for bringing about the destruction of the present most inefficient and unpopular Govern ment. In various departments the members of the Administration have shown their inefficiency. Con spicuous, however, among those remarkable delin quents are, of course, as is very well known, the COLONIAL SECRETARY and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. With the "financial imbecility" of the latter the community is unhappily but too fami liarly acquainted. The "Brick-dust Budget," for one thing, was bad enough, but even that was sur passed last session by the double budget, so long, so !oudly, and so deservedly ridiculed by the population. It would have been well for the political reputation of Sir CHARLES WOOD had his tenure of power been as brief as that of the present Earl of Ripon when Lord GODERICH. The people would not then have been afforded such reiterated and damning evi dence of an incapacity now notorious throughout the United Kingdom. Such, however, has been the lamentable destiny of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Member for Halifax, that his shortcomings as an administrator have been made miserably apparent by a series of the most blundering acts ever adventured upon by a:Chancellor of the Exchequer. Earl GREY has obtained a no less unenviable unpopularity, though his has been acquired by a very different course of proceeding. Instead of the do-nothing system of Sir' CHARLES WOOD, the Noble Lord at the Colonial-office has adopted a policy of the most interfering character, a character at once remarkable for its display of precipitancy and intemperance. Insomuch has this been the case that the affairs of the several dependencies of the Crown have become more or less embroiled at intervals during the period of his singularly mistaken admi nistration. Perhaps the most melancholy instance of this is the one recently afforded by:,the outbreak of hostilities once more between the authorities at the Cape and the natives of Kafirland. This revival of war in Southern Africa, as the people of England are already aware, is entirely and directly attribut able to the course pursued by Earl GREY in the con duct of our colonial administration. Yet, though himself the culpable party, the Colonial Secretary has taken upon himself the responsibility of recalling a distinguished officer like Sir HARRY SMITH, an nouncing his degradation from the rank of Governor, in terms justifiable, we conceive, under no circum stances whatever. The recal of Sir HARRY we look upon as the certain means of ultimately;and we think also speedily, leading to the equally peremptory dis missal of the Colonial Secretary himself. A more flagrant case of injustice cannot be recorded against her MAJESTY'S Government. The cruelty of the tone in which Earl GREY'S notorious dispatch was couched removes from our mind, moreover, all anxiety of wounding the feelings of the Noble Lord by the manner in which all parties should now, we conceive, unite in bringing about his own discom fiture. By the harshness of his official language, by the unpardonable injustice of his course towards the late Governor of the Cape Colony, by his disinge nuous arguments, by his precipitancy, his indelicacy, and his (we fear wilful) misrepresentation in.the mat ter at issue, Earl GREY has removed himself alto gether beyond the limits of the popular sympathies. The opinions, moreover, which have been expressed by his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, opinions in the strongest manner commendatory of the military proceedings of the very man whose capacity as a commander has been so ungracefully assailed by the N o b le Civilian at the head of the Colonial Dep artment, place the latter statesman in a position o yet more painful and extraordinary ambarrasstaeat Already than once t e • Iready we have referred more pub e miicatter here again brought by our selves under question to revert to the subject ; but we are in ducedu e t t ai mt becauseniesnsatus issue at cease s f se eh o va u el reiteratingrlr every e n a svea witnessi o l . f its importance ; a n d we shall resignation our views upon the ;chat is yet more desirable, the collect' of power by Earl either ropportunity individual I bweth foundole of the existing G R EElsewhere resignation o of willth eGovernment.ive in ithpre, • this evening of this evening a letter (in reference to the dismissal of Sir HARRY SMITH from the Government of the Cape), addressed to ourselves by an es teemed and valued correspondent. Vi e wing the cas e in Point dispassionately, the writer is compelled to regard the harsh and intemperate dispatch of Earl GREY an nouncing the recall of his Excellency, as affording another and a crowning testimony of the rashness and incapacity visible in the whole conduct of our Colonial Administration. From the lucidity with which the various stages of this most lamentable transaction are enumerated in due se quence, from the candour with which the whole pro ceedings have been recounted in the communication here specified, we are sanguine that is will be pe rused with the attention to which it is eminently en titled, more particularly as, in addition to this, it will render all who may happen still to be dimly and inadequately acquainted with the facts of the case aware of their full import and their general ten dency. With our correspondent we look forward with eager anxiety to:: ;the ulterior result of this shameful, and yet, at the same time, shameless in stance of the despotism indulged in by the Colonial Secretary. We have repeatedly directed attention to the pro priety of establishing a public prosecutor, who should conduct, at the public expense, all cases of import ance. Owing to the absence of such a functionary there might very possibly be a failure of justice, through the inability of the injured party to sustain the heavy expenses incidental to the efficient conduct of the proceedings. Such things have but too fre quently happened, and are of almost daily occurrence. There are but few persons who, having already sustained heavy pecuniary losses, will look to the benefit of the community, rather than their own private interests. Propositions for settlement will, therefore, be listened to even at the eleventh hour, and it is unfortunately but too notorious that private arrangements, if judiciously introduced, will receive the sanction of the Court, and be rendered effectual. There are, however, sometimes to be found indivi duals who, disregarding every selfish feeling, look only to the public advantage, who will devote time and money to the exposure of a swindling system, by which they have been, and other persons simi larly circumstanced may be victimised, who with the true John Bull spirit, will sacrifice themselves for the good of their country. Such persons, how ever, may sometimes be found, and it is really too bad that they should be subjected to serious ex penses for their patriotic exertions. They contri bute their proportion to the liquidation of the na tional liabilities and the maintenance :4 the na tional establishments, and are, theoretically, entitled to full protection for person and property. Prac tically, however, if injured in either, the second loss may prove the greater of the two ; and more may be expended in bringing criminals to •justice than the party may have, originally lost by their mis conduct. The subject to which we have alluded received a strong illustration in a case—the QUEEN v. FEUILLAN and DENlS—which was tried yesterday at the Guild hell, iu the city of London. Two persons named FEUIL LAN and DENIS were indicted for obtaining goods under false pretences from Mr. H. SILVESTEE, a corn and flour factor, having a stand at the Corn Exchange and an office at 59, Fenchurch-street, in the City, and also for a conspiracy to defraud that gentlemen. It appeared that FEUILLAN had figured under various names, as LAFITTE and Co., and BEETTE and Co., that he had been indicted at the Old Bailey, and was under the surveillance of the Trade Protection Society and of " detective" officers. peels, the other defendant, had previously maintained a good character, but it was shown in the course of the trial that he bad been repeatedly cautioned as to the character of FEUILLAN, apprised that he was a swindler, applied to respecting debts which the former had incurred, and actually sued on a bill of exchange, of which he was himself the drawer and FEUILLAN the acceptor. Notwithstanding these repeated warnings, Mr. DENIS still persisted in vouching to the high character of his associate and his perfect trust worthiness and responsibility. Among others, Mr. SILVESTEE, was selected as a victim. FEUILLAN, who had, through the high cha racter given to him by DENIS, obtained an agree ment for a lease of a house at No. 87, High-street, Marylebone, looked at some samples belonging to Mr. SILVESTEE, and expressed his high approval. He gave a reference to DENIS, who was a wine merchant, carrying on business at Lime-street, in the City, in order that the owner might be satisfied as to his solvency before he gave the usual credit in the trade, one month. The prosecutor appears to have exhibited the greatest caution. There was none of that reckless seeking after business that has so often and so justly been condemned by judges. Never was a compliment more justly merited than that which the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE paid to the prosecutor, when, after speaking emphatically of the paramount importance of the case, he said that the public were deeply indebted to Mr. SILVESTEE, not only for instituting, but for the manner in which he had conducted the prosecution, sparing no labour or expense to elioit the truth, while the offence had not been occasioned by any error on his part. The most prudent man might have fallen into the trap that had been set. Mr. SILVESTEE went to DENIS, who was supposed to be a man of high respectability, and who produced a number of unimpeachable wit nesses to speak to his exemplary character. He omitted no point worthy of notice—inquiring why it was " that a baker gave a reference to a wine-mer chant"—to which it was answered that the party had only recently entered as a baker, having previously been engaged in the wine trade, which was " rather overdone." He then heard statements as to FEUILLAN's having a lease of his premises at 701. per annum, when it was shown that he had only an agreement at a rack rent of 1401., and that the lease was not mortgaged or ;encumbered in any manner ; also that ,he was a person perfectly free from debt, and certain to succeed from the many ad vantages he possessed. The most sceptical indi vidual could scarcely hesitate under such circumstances, but Mr. SILVESTER, in order to " make assurance doubly sure," saw FEUILLAN, and received his assurances in corroboration of every statement made by his confederate DENIS. Afterwards no payment could be ob tained. In vain Mr. SILVESTEE, remonstrated, letter after letter remained unanswered, and his ap plications to DENIS did not produce a more satisfactory result. The searching investigation which he insti tuted showed him that the parties were in collusion, that there was a deep-laid conspiracy to defraud the public. When he had arrived at this conclusion his course was clear. Bills of indict ment were preferred and duly found. Every obstacle was thrown in his way—the case was removed by certiorari, thus materially increasing the expenses. These impediments, however, did not discourage the indefatigable prosecutor. He followed it up to the last, and obtained a conviction, under which the parties were respectively sentenced to two years and one year's imprisonment, with hard labour. The majesty of the law has thus been vindi cated, but at what cost ? Although in such cases the nominal expenses —very different, how ever, from those actually incurred—are granted, it his considered that there is no power to allow the expenses of a trial in banco, when it has been re moved by certiorari. Mr. SILVESTER will therefore receive no return for his heavy outlay, unless his fellow•citizens should recognise the propriety of saving him from pecuniary loss in consequence of his efforts to break, up one of the most formidable conspiracies that had been for many years concocted against the merchants and traders of London and its vicinity. We trust that the parties who have received this valuable service will show their sense of its vast importance by the manner in which they recognise the conduct of Mr. SILYBSTBR in the transaction. THE SUFFERERS BY THE AMAZON.—" A Benefit" for the widows and orphans of those who unhappily perished in the loss of this splendid steam-ship, has been for some time announced as in preparation. It is at length, we are gratified to observe, fixed for Monday evening at Drury Lane Theatre, when an unusually crowded attendance may, we believe, be looked forward to with con fidence—not merely because of the all-powerful motives of benevolence, but because likewise of the very attractive cha racter of the entertainments. One of the most distin guished actresses of the day—in some respects the greatest genius now "treading the boards"—Miss Helen Faucit (herself a "host" in attraction) will on that interesting occasion repeat, by general desire, • her celebrated impersona tion of Juliet. Added to which, there will be given, after the tragedy, a grand miscellaneous concert in which the principal artistes of Old Drury, with Mtn's. Favanti, and several other auxiliaries of high reputation, will arpear. As affording a crowning value and interest to the 1 performance, the whole is announced as under the patronage Of her Most Gracious Majesty, the Queen. Under every circumstance, therefore, we conceive ourselves justified in looking forward, as we say, with confidence to the entire suc cess of the entertainment: • stre ltr et r , as il s y oo e n zh a i a b l t r e r d an a g t em hi e s n i t a s te ca r n es b id e e m nc a e de in for QtuheeepnuArpuonse e.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes a " communicated" note, declaring that there is no truth in the rumour of menacing demands being made on foreign Govern ments by France, or of its warlike intentions ; and that the Government had not taken any one step that would show a change in its pacific policy. Lord COWLEY, the new British Ambassador to the French Republic, arrived in Paris on Thursday night. He alighted at the Hotel Bristol, Place Vendome. Lord NORMANBT left Paris yesterday morning on his return to England. It appears that the letter which appeared in the Moniteur, purporting to bear the signature of M. BANDSEPT, ex-representative, was a forgery. The Moniteur now publishes the following from M. BANDSEPT, dated London : " You publish a letter by which I am represented as having addressed to M. Louis Bonaparte a request to be allowed to return to France, promising to abstain en tirely from political affairs. I have never written any letter of this kind; it is an infamous imposture, against which I protest with the greatest energy and the most profound indignation, without being able to explain to myself how it has made its appearance in an °facial journal." The Gazette de France states that the PRESIDENT of the Republic is about to form a body guard, to be composed of men chosen from the Gendarmerie Mobile. _ _ _ M. DE LA GUERONNIERB, chief editor of the Pays , is the Government candidate for the second electoral division of the department of the Centel. M.

THE LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEE fRUARY 19, iB5 ~J. SPAIN. Our accounts from Madrid are to the 12th inst. The QUEEN had addressed the following autograph letter to the President of the Council of Ministers :-- "Prostrated before Divine Providence to thank it for its signal protection and infinite favours, my heart is moved at the demonstrations of affection and devoted ness, which I receive every instant from nay subjects. Those demonstrations, however, might be centred in an objec, intended to serve as a permanent symbol of the religious and charitable character of Spaniards. To that effect, it is my desire that the Government should take the initiative and open a voluntary subscription, the proceeds of which shall be applied to the construc tion of one or more hospitals, in commemoration of the birth of my most beloved daughter, and of my re-ap pearance before my people. after the blessings recently conferred upon me by the Almighty. " ISABELLA. (Signed) " At the Palace, 11th February, 1852." To this letter is appended a decree, according to which the hospital in question is to be named " Hos pital of the Princess." The highest amount of the national subscription is not to exceed 100 reels for each subscriber. Should the voluntary donations not produce a sufficient sum for the construction of the hospital, the deficiency will he made up by the QUEEN ; but should the proceeds be more than ade quate for that object, the surplus will be appropriated for the establishment of three other hospitals in the centre of the capital. The QUEEN had promoted to the rank of Lieu tenants-General, Majors-General FRANCISCO Lsa- SUNDI and FERNANDO MUNOZ, Duke of Rianieres. MADRID BOLSA, FEB. 12.—The Three per Cents. were done at 374 for time; the New Three per Cents. at 184; the Debt without interest, at si; and the Coupons, at 91. GERMAN Y. Negotiations have been commenced between the Governments of Austria and Russia for the cession of a commercial treaty based on the new Austrian tariff. The Augsburgh Gazette states that the accounts in several French and German journals, relative to the health of the Grand Duke of BADEN, are inexact and overcharged. His Royal Highness had an attack of gout in the beginning of January, but he is now much better, and there is no cause for any alarm. On the 13th the Germanic Diet was engaged on r e sult had not t ransp i re d , All th e s t a t e s the question of the German fleet, and also on the 14th, but the (except Austria) are in favour of being maintained as a federal establishment.

The property y revenueualpurpos of endowing Jesuit colleges e of 60,000 lire, but is not to be appropriated to Jesuitical purposes in towns where that order already possesses an establishment. From e an the tone of this article it is clear that the Govern ment is prepared to aid and protect that insidious order to the utmost of its power ; and the fact of the Jesuits having in every instance returned to claim the position from which they were ejected in 1848, at Vienna, Milan, Venice, &c., is a significant proof of their confidence i n the slat= quo. A large number of Bibles, in the Bohemian and Hebrew lan guages, printed in Hungary, and got up in a cheap form for circulation, have been stopped in Vienne, on their way to Bohemia. This is a new illustration of the "freedom of religious worship" guaranteed by the EMPEROR, even in his late decrees, the Bibles thus Published having hitherto been suffered to circulate. The question now rests with the ARCHBISHOP to de cide whether the Scriptures are to be suppressed altogether or not. The Austrian Correspoudenz styles the editorial replies to the Ministerial reproof addressed to the English press, in the House of Commons, "rude and sarcastic, but vapid and unmeaning." BELGIUM. The Louvainiste states that the Polish General of Brigade, KituzEwsKl) has received a conga of six months. The Emancipation adds that a similar measure will be taken with every Polish officer in the Belgian service. Lieut.-General CHAZAL has just been named sou - chef of the general staff at Brussels. General CHAZAL is a Frenchman, and is said to owe his mili tary fortune to General MAGNAN, whose name is mentioned as the leader of the much-talked of French invasion of Belgium. M. DROUET, councillor of the Belgian legation in London, arrived at Antwerp on the 16th, with spe cial dispatches. General BEDEAU has arrived at Brussels, but is expected to leave very shortly for Mons. SWITZERLAND. The Geneva journals of the 15th publish a circular issued by the Government of that canton, requiring all French refu gees w h om recen t events have brought into Switzerl an d, an d w h ose passports are not en regle, to present themselves at the bureau of police, and state wh e th er t h ey d eman d an asylum, or are prepared to a p p l y for travelling passports. Those who have bee n c it e d b e f ore the French tribunal s , or condemned for contumacy, must, if they desire to re main in Switzerland, repair to the interior, to a dis tance of at least eight leagues from the frontier; those who desi re t o l eave may receive passports, under the sanction of the federal authority. Citizens are reminded that they are forbidden, under penalty, to entertain strangers, without making the declara tion to the proper bureau, which grants permis de sejour. It is added that these admonitions are made by the council of the canton, at the demand of the federal commissioners. The Journal de 6e n eve announces a strike of 400 working jewellers, on account of a misunderstanding with the masters.
