Temporary Offices-12, Bucklersbury, London. This Company having purchased the tee si m pl e of eight sec tions, containing 653 acres of mineral ground and freehold land, at Stratherayn, about thirty miles from Adelaide, in South Australia, and within thirty miles of the Murray River,. is formed for the wprking :of the valuable copper mines which have been opened out and partially worked there, but suspended for want of efficient machinery. Competont mining captains, who have personally superintended the mines report most favourably of the stratification, and there is no reason to doubt the Strathalbyn district is a continuation of the sameTavourable ground in which are the celebrated Burnt Barra and Kapunda 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 flircean, and oxide of iron or gossan. in which are found the yellow, black., and grey sulphuret of copper ores and iron pyrites, and in s'o'me of them native copper has been bound. Shafts. have been sunk on four of the lodes, and from two to three hundred. 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 m out comprehensive scale. Samples of the ore reduced to regulusr by a small furnace on the spot, have been sent to this coun try, a ) lortion of which has been assayed by Mr. Johnson, of Hatton garden, and produces 48 per cent. of pure copper. There is also abundance of wood on the spot wad in the imme diate n eighboarhood, so that the ore may be smelted at a trifling cost, 'a tiich gives this mine advantages over others, and it possesses easy n leans 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 that following extract from the Great National Exhibition Ca. talogue,, of the working of the Burra Barra Mines, and the profits realised,::— 'Tons. cwt.

The miney 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 pectation s. Specice ens of the ore reduced to regulus, and assayed coppet therefrun 1, also Mr. Johnson's certificate, and the reports of experi enced cop per miners, may be seen at the offices of the company. To work these mines to an immediate profit no delay need take place bey and the time necessary for putting up the requisite ma chinery. Inclu di) Ig the estimates for erecting the new works and the neces sary mac pinery, and for the purchase of the fee simple of the land and mi ce s, with the plant now on the premises, it is proposed to raise a :pital of 50,0001., which will be more than sufficient for the purpc .se—after deducting the purchase-money to be paid to tiso promote r s for their interests, and for the fee-simple of the grotint and the r n oney expended on the mine.

Taylor and - Bright's Circular states :—.With the exception of barley and oats, of which supply some articles have come coastwise, principally from Scotland, the imports of grain still continue light. She general dulness which pervades interior markets has been felt here, though we are not able to report much actual change in price. The bulk of our small granaried stocks is in firm hands. We had for this day's market a very fair supply of wheat from the farmers; the condition was more or less affected by the late wet weather, and only the few dry samples offering were taken off at about the prices of last market day, in some instances a trifle lower. There is rather more barley offering, both foreign and Scotch, than the demand at the moment will take off ; and in the few sales made buyers obtained an advantage of is to 2s per quarter. Oats maintain their value, as do also brans (of which our supply is limited to Egyptian) ; and peas of dry quality, are in request. Linseed is in good snpply, and the market easier. Cakes are very firm, and English low in stock. A few fine foreign are on the market. No transactions transpire in rapeseed, but cakes are in better demand. No arrival of bones for business. Guano more inquired for. A cargo of superior Saldanha (with excel lent analysis) attracts attention. The following are the preset s. s.

[PRIC E SD. I THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris' journals of yesterday. The only article of interest appears in the columns ,of ti: z.‘ Pays. it is a refutation, and probably not an been for s o m e time in circulation, and which hav e unauthorised o ne , o f th e war lik e ra wo ur z th a t h ave created much alarm and uneasier:at. The Pays, in contradicting these rumour-, does not confine itbelf Ip the simple declaration that they were unfounded ; it shows that they had cot even favour, and that the tusk of the Prince Parsintyr of the Republic is one of greater hcric ur and usefulness than that which 'flome of the foreign journal: imagine. Whilst foreign political , riters represent' him as t d h r e ea b e ec iin t g ,ssi probability in their fact vainglorious that even the e e being inspired only with idea 3 of hlo , Aished and COD • q u e st; with indulging in a desire, for the in , ,aion of Eegland, or the annexas ion of Belgium to the French h te a r d ri i t t o s r ogiwn i itn h o ti f es re o p f ea h t i i s n p g os a it l i l o t r u i : e iv e d e 3 E a : b y t r i f o ., e and or o t v h e e r o o E k m i n p g ; R i o ' I:: being impracticable without, the sacrifice of national pride, and, to a certain extent, national interests, the Pays represents the heir of NAPOLEON as being under the influence of really grand inspirations, and resolved to maintain peace if it can be maintained with in order that he may be able to restore prosperity to Prance, and 'develop her manifold resources in aßri culture, commerce, and manufactures. Never, says the Pays, will LOUIS NAPOLEON commence a wart of aggression, and therefore it depends upon other power s whether the peace of Europe shall be maintained or otherwise. On Monday afternoon, at two o'clock, the Mar,. quis of NORMANDY presented his letters of recal to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. Lord COWLEY is expected in Paris to-day. The lifeniteur publishes several decrees, the most important of which is one for the encouragement of immigration into the French colonies and for the re gulation of the relations between the employers and their work-people. A decree enacts that the only day celebrated as a national fete shall be August 15th, the EMPEROR'S birthday. All objects having belonged to French Sovereigns are to he collected from the provincial museums, and to form a division of the Louvre. A long decree regulates the emigration and en gagement of workmen in the colonies. Another modifies the commercial regime of Senegal. According to the Independance of Brussels, the three members of the commission appointed by the PRINCE PRESIDENT, relative to the decrees against the Orleans property, viz., MM. DUVERGIER, CHAIX D'ESTANGE, and MOREAU, advocates of the Ministry of Marine, the city of Paris, and the Domaines, have not been consulted on the legality of the decrees, but solely on the diplomatic and matrimonial questions which may affect the execution of them. A letter in the same journal says—" General St. AnNeun is about to leave for Africa, to put himself at the head of an expedition which is to take placein the spring against Kabylia. He will still retain his post as Minister of War, Marshal VALLIANT acting for him ad interim.

A letter from Vienna in the Independance of Brus sels, says that the design of raising a very large loan has been adjourned by the Austrian Government, but that one of 20,000,000 florins is to be raised for completing the railways. It is reported that a tax of one per cent. will be placed on the capital of real pro perty, in the room of the income-tax. A letter front Vienna in the German Journal of Frankfort, says that, on the 9th, all the principal editors of th e politi ca l j ourna l s o f Vi enna were or d ered to wait upon the military governor and receive from him instructions as to the way in which they are in future to express themselves. A letter from Vienna of the 12th, states that the treaty respecting the indemnity due to Russia for the aid accorded by her to Austria in the war of Hun gary in 1849, has been definitively concluded. Austria is to furnish Russia with salt to the amount of 1,051,133 florins (rather more than 2,000,000 francs), and to pay in money 4,615,384 florins in three in stalments, the first of which has been already paid.

Mr. 'Skead, second master, who happened to be in the gun-room at the time, hearing the cry of':A man overboard," with out hsi chair in hand, and immediatelyerm in the direction of his drowningtation leaped shipmaref,romlltish,e egun-room port with a uitentioi.vms at the same time anticipated be , Mr. Lambe, a m id shipman of the ship, who spranginto the sea f rom the poop; a height of sonde 40 feet.. • A-boat was lowered, b ut in the meantime the two gallant young men had r eached their messmate, and succeeded in keeping him aflo a t t i ll a more effectual aid had reached them. Mr. Skead was taken on board in a very exhausted state, bat we are happy to say that no lives ,-were lost. Mr. Skead is a most promising officer, and has on more occasions than one shown him self to be a smart, ready, and efficient seaman, and bas proYed himself to be deeerving of advancement at the hands of the Lords of the Admiralty• We are sure, also, that Mr. Lambe's most courageous conduct will not pass without some substantial n ot i ee. __ Herald. • CAPTURE OF LAG 05.....-" Her * Majesty' s ship Penelope, tagoe, Jan. 4, 1852.—1 t would be useless for me to at tempt to describe the bloody scenes that took place on Christmas-day between the natives of Lagos and the ships' boats of the Penelope, Sampson, Volcano, Water 'witch, Bloodhound, and Teaser. Up the river the loss of lives has been very awful. Two men belonging to the Penelope, in particular, were brutally massacred by the natives, their heads chopped off and stuck up in the King's house as ornaments. They were eventually taken down and buried by Captain Lyster, who, with a party amen, landed and spiked their gums, but, in doing so, I regret to say, our-ship's company suffered much in the landing and relanding of our men. There were fourteen killed and 'seventy wounded, making a total, of our ship's company alone eighty-four. This mail will crush the feelings of many.a poor wife and mother when the Samp son arrives. The. Sampson leaves here for England this , evening. We have taken from the, enemy forty-seven guns, and set fire to and burned the town down about their heads." Orders were received at Devonport on Monday morn ing to. refit the Arethuste ' 50, Captain Thom as S ymonds, with all possibl e di spa t c h.. She landed thirteeb invalids oriBaturday evening (twelve seaman and a second mas• ter), who were taken to the Royal. Naval Hospital. In conssquenoe of its being dead low water the- invalids were obliged to be landed at the Admiral's Hard, Stone house, and taken through the town, It is a matter of great surprise that some steps are not taken by the Go vernment to dredge the channel, so that boats at least might be taken to'th hospital at all times of the tide. The Arethuia has been inspected by the dockyard, and is found tot be in a-condition to require her being brought into harbou r , and probably docked.' Her defects,how ever, do hot exceed what might have been expected after two years' service, except that her fore-knee is cons; iertibly strained. She is staid to be horribly infested with rats.

He only received hit commission yesterday. - Lieutenant William Chevers (1815), reserved half-pay list, died on the sth instant, aged seventy-eight.

AfIDN,ESEX SESSIQNS, Feb. 17. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates, at Clerkenwell.) oEBERrIeRoM LIBR/EY 9F THE BEITISH AtirEEtal. Charle.o Pickwing, 33, a man of highly-respectable appearance, was this morning placed at the bar, charged on an indictment with having stolen 240 printed plates, the property of the Right Hon. Lord John Russell and others, trustees of the British Museum. Another count varied the offence, alleging the robbery to have been committed in the dwelling-house of Sir Henry Ellis. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Parry conducted the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner. The prisoner withdrew a former plea, and pleaded guilty to the indictment. Mr. Bright Smith, a magistrate in the commission of the peace for the county of Sussex, knew the gentleman at the bar, who had been tutor to his children for the last two or three years. He was a man of the greatest accomplishments, and he had every confidence in him as a man of unblemished character. The ASSISTANT JUDGE said that this was a very pain ful case, and the sentence the Court was about to pro nounce was very likely to be unsatisfactory, and misun derstood by the public at large, who generally looked to the equality of the punishment, and not to the number of circumstances, which, combined, might render a punishment just that might not at first seem to be so. Under all the circumstances, the court would do its duty, fearless on the one hand of those who might think the punishment too light, and on the other equally tearless of those who might consider the sentence too severe. In exercising a merciful consideration to the prisoner, the sentence was that he be imprisoned in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour for three calendar months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man named Robert Thompson was brought before Alderman Cubitt, charged with having committed frauds, in practising which, it is believed, he has been very suc cessful. His plan is this—he knocks at an office-door at twelve o'clock a t n i g h t w i th a postman's rap, when the people of business ar e gone . ca ll s out " L ate p ost; " an d w h en admitted by th e servants, to whom he ma k es an apo l ogy for the una vo id a bl e d i stur b ance at such an hour, pro duces.a small bu n dl e w i t h a l etter attac h e d, di rec t e d t o the proprietor, and stating on the envelope that three or four shillings are to be paid. He departs upon receiving the amount, and the party to whom the parcel is ad dressed finds a piece of an old newspaper carefully packed up, and a letter, which he considers to be Greek or Latin, and which, therefore, aggravates the disappoint ment and the fraud. R. Phillips, who looks after the house No. 40, Seeth ing -lane, said he heard a ring at the bell at twelve the night before, and throwing up the window was informed by the prisoner, who was below, that it was the " late post," and that be had a parcel for Messrs. Denham, Smart, and Co. Witness went down, opened the door, and received from the hand of the prisoner a piece of pasteboard sealed up, to which was fastened a letter ad dressed to the firm. The prisoner at the same time pro duced a book, and said there was 3s. 6d. to be paid, and that witness must sign the book. Witness said he had no more than 3s. about him, and the prisoner then hesi tated, but after a little while he said, as it was late, and he was tired, he would take the 3e. if witness would sign. The 3F. were accordingly given, the book was signed, and the prisoner said ho would call again for the 6d. The parcel and the letter were, of course, equally valuable. Alderman CUBITT said that in all probability the pub lication of the fraud would bring together severel losers by the system, and remanded the prisoner till Friday. MARYLEBONE. ADMINISTERING NOXIOUS MEDICINE TO A FEMALE. —Tne two young men, Henry Smith and Robert Denny Christmas, were again placed at the.bar, charged with having administered a certain noxious medicine to a female named Anne Obee with intent to procure abortion. The particulars of what transpired upon the former occasions have already appeared. Mr. Humphreys attended, as before, for Smith; and Mr. Parry, the barrister, for Christmas. The whole of the evidence was read over by the chief clerk, Mr. Fell, and the accused parties were committed for trial. Upon the application of the Learned Gentlemen their clients were allowed to put in bail, each in his personal recognisance to the amount of 2001., and to find two sureties in 1501. each. The required bail was tendered and accepted by the magistrate. ARRIVAL OF THE BODY OF THE LATE Mr. SHEIL. —PoaTamounr, MONDAY. The Merlin steam-packet, Lieutenant Commander J. H. Turner, arrived this morning from the Mediterranean having on board the remains of the Right Hon. L. Shell, late Ambassador at Florence. The Merlin left Gibraltar laft Saturday week, the Janus being the only vessel at anchor there. The body of Mr. Shell, which is enclosed in a leaden coffin, will be trausferred to the Sprightly steamer, Master-Commander Allen, for con veyance to Kingstown, Ireland. She will sail with the body this evening. The Merlin will, it is supposed, go to Wool wich to pay off, but no orders were down here. - - • THE COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.-DEVONPOE T , SUNDAY.—The American barque Delta, of New York, from London to Cardiff, to load iron for the States, put in here last evening with loss of bowsprit and jibboom, and bows stoved, having been in contact on Thursday night off the Start with a brig, name unknown. From the accounts given .by the American it was feared the brig had sunk, and all hands on board her perished; but intelligence has since been received that the crew had been picked up and taken into Brigham. Further reports state that the brig survived the shock so far as to keep afloat, nd that she has since been towed into Dartmouth. RIFLE Cuuns.—Her Majesty's Government, ac cording to a recent official announcement, are prepared in certain cases to advise her Majesty to accept the services of `volunteer rifle corps, provided that the proposed formation Of such corps is recommended by the Lord-Lieutenant of the County, and that the members of the corps undertake to provide their own arms and equipments, and to defray all the expenses attending it, except in the event of the corps being assembled for actual service. Messrs. Nicoll, army clothiers, are prepared to forward, on bon4 fide application, the Act of Parliament, viz., 44th George' M., c. 54, by which they will be governed; a copy of rules adopted by several corps already forming; also sketches and estimates for uni forms and accoutrements, with or without the rifle and sword-bayonet, improved on the French principle. The clothing they_propose to supply for a superior order of volun teers shall not exceed the cost of plain dress or ordinary clothes, and shall in every respect be such as a gentleman may wear with satisfaction. Samples for the outfit of a sub scribing club may be viewed on application at the ware rooms, 114, 116, 118, and 120, Regent-street, or at the City depot, 22, Cornhill. Eight and five guineas are quoted for these samples, but the tastes and wishes of any body of gen tlemen will be readily , adopted and estimated for by Messrs. Nicoll, who will send competent persons for instructions to any part of the country, where a fair amount of business will be insured. A MISCREANT.—An Italian calling himself Euge nio Briard, has for a few weeks past been living in the High -street, Southampton, professing to teach drawing. The window of his shop has been covered with specimens of his art. He has also been exhibiting a picture of the burning of the Amazon. It has now been discovered that he has been allowing children to witness his exhibition gratuitously, and has been behaving in the most disgusting and outrageous manner towards them. A few days since two little girls, be tween five -and six years of age, were enticed behind the screen on which the picture was exhibited, underpretence of holding lights so that the children outside might witness the picture. The children behind the picture were heard to cry, and a bigger girl who was present at the exhibition endea vouring to ascertain what was the matter, saw the abomi nable conduct of the Italian, and for thus interfering was brutally kicked by him. As soon as the parents of the children heard of the offences they had the scoundrel appre. headed, and brought before the borough magistrates, b y whom he was sentenced to pay a fine of 54, or suffer three months' imprisonment. The fine was paid. As it is not im probable be may attempt the same offences by the sam e - means in other towns, the p ublic cannot be too much on their guard. The fellow is very tall, and apparently about 40 years of age. On the 11th inst., the Hon. and Rev. Lara Al Compton, M.A., .was instituted to the re ctory of wyne Castle Ashley, in the county of Northampton, and diocese of Peer ti borough, the same havinSpeg ncer on of the 'Rev.

GOLD IN THE HIGHLANDS. —A correspondent of the Nor m _British Mail, in reference to the reports which have appeared oflate in the paper of gold being in abundance in the Isle of Skye, proposes that a searching party be got up immediately, or as soon as possible, to seek the precious metal. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TIIEsDAY.—An impression has been latterly gaining ground that we are not at present likely to have lower prices. This impression has caused the buyers of yarns, whether for shipment or for home con sumption, but particularly the latter, to come into the market with greater confidence and freedom than they had previously done. Willingly would they pay' the extreme prices of la , l week; but, as the spinners are well suppli. d with orders, they have demanded an ad vance of id. to id. per lb. for whatever they might have to sell. We may specify 40's mule in the brindle, 24's to 28's throstle warps, and 24's to 30's pin cops, as exhibiting the greatest degree of improvement, which, however, includes warps, cops, and bundles in general. It it less in reeled water than in warps, because the former were before relatively higher. The favourable advises as to twist from Bom bay and China have increased the transactions for those markets; and, even for Calcutta, some purchases have been induced by an appearance of improve ment ie the accounts. The Germans and other con tinental merchants have imn in the market, as have also the home consumers. The increase of the German and Dutch &mane, so fir in the present year, as compared with the same period of 1851, is seen in the fact thet more yarns have been sent by 2,500 bales or 2,500,0001 b. between the Ist of January and 11th of February. In the department of goods there is not by any means the same degree of improvement. They still l ag ve ry much behind yarns. However, the accounts from Bombay and Shanghai have led to considerable operations for those places; and a slight - abatement of the depression at Calcutta has not been without som e efg - ct in the same way for that quarter also. The cloths required have therefore en upward tendency to-day. In most other articles scarcely any change is observable. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.— We have had a dull heavy market, with little or no variation in prices. There he's nooft ameliorationye t in a been also a slack wool marke t, with sta tionary prices.

The recent unsettled state of the weather has evidently been against our manufacturers. The dyers this week are slacker of orders from the Man chester and Macclesfield manufacturers.

The amount of duties collected in Southampton during the past year has increased from about 60,0001. to 90,0001., being fully 50 per cent. on the sum collected daring any previous year. BELGIUM. The following appears in the Journal du Bruxelles : " Rumours relative to the pretended projects of the President of the French Republic against Belgium are spread in our towns, and disquiet the populations, and it is even alleged that the execution of these projects will take place at an early period. Nothing justifies these rumours; on the contrary, the Prince Louis Bonaparte has sent pacific protestations to the great powers, and they have shown th emse l ves sat i s fi e d w i th them . If it were otherwise, we should see troops concentrated .on the right bank of the Rhine; bat nothing of the kind takes place. It is, however, objected that the Belgian Government is adopting measures for placing our fortresses in a respectable state of defence.
