And the Jupiter Tonans whose hand has hurled the bolt of death at the Cabinet is no other than Lord PALMERSTON. The intelligence of last night's division will be welcomed with enthusiasm throughout the United Kingdom. It will be hailed as the announcement of that tardy but overwhelming vengeance which has been so long denied, and which has at length been wreaked upon a Ministry without patriotism, without genius, and without popularity. That anyone should thus sig nally have avenged the outraged cause of the popula tion must of itself have been matter of delight to the general multitude. But that the very man wh o , o f all men in the House of Commons, the nation would have selected as its Avenger should be•the one to Strike this deadly blow at the Administration, will be received with unutterable gladness by the com munity. It must now, we conceive, be sufficiently manifest that Lord PALMERSTON was fully aware, from the first, of the power devolving upon him as the vic tim of an intrigue as base as it was unconstitutional. Conscious that at any moment he might himself deem most advisable he could pronounce the doom of the Government, the Noble Lord, with that sagacity for which, during nearly half a century of public life, he has been invariably remarkable, reserved himself with imperturbable serenity until the arrival of the most appropriate occasion and of the most pro pitious opportunity. The wisdom of this course must now be self- evident. E ven those among the admirers of the late Foreign Secretary who expe rienced the bitterest disappointment at the speech de livered by him on the opening of the present session, rnE SUN, will by this time have recognised the propriety of the course then pursued by Lord PALMERSTON. They must in the event of yesterday have peroeived, if they had not already conjectured what was actually the truth, that the Noble Lord, with that chivalry of disposition which is not the least conspicuous or the least honourable of his characteristics, preferred to sacrifice for a while the feelings which must at the very outset have impelled him to pronounce the sen tence of the existing Government. The reason for this postponement of a vengeance inevitable in the end, we have already and repeatedly indicated. The civism of Lord PALMERSTON was for a moment veiled by his loyalty. He was unwilling to cope with his adversaries upon an occasion, when, by so doing, he must necessarily have assumed the attitude of anything but a mediator between the nation and its SOVEREIGN. Rather than this, Lord PALMERSTON repressed his indignation, delayed his vengeance, reserved his words of fire, of poison, and of bitterness, until they could descend exclusively on the heads of his recent colleagues, on the beads of those who were recreants to himself and apostates to the cause of Liberality. The wished-for moment arrived last evening, and the people of Eng land were avenged for six years of misrule by the terrible retribution wreaked by Lord PALMERSTON upon the Grey-Russell Government. Jack the Giant-killer had long since dwindled and degenerated into the political Tom Thumb—and Tom Thumb has at length fallen. During the next few hours the business of Parliament will be that of assisting at his Ministerial obsequies. After a more prolonged existence than was ever previously tolerated in an Administration whose almost every act was repugnant to the wishes of the people, the Cabinet of Lord JOHN RUSSELL has felt the last vestige of power, has seen the last glimmering of prestige, the last chance of preserving place, the last hope of retaining patronage, pass from the grasp of its members before the mandate of the statesman their leader had treated with the most contumelious ingratitude, and with an insolence as insensate as it was unjustifiable. Nothing could have been more appropriate than the occasion selected by the late Foreign Secretary for the purpose of pronouncing the political destruc tion of her MAJESTY'S Government. The opportu nity was one which enabled Lord PALMERSTON to speak as no other statesman of our age could have spoken. It enabled him to say in reference to the absurd project of the Cabinet for calling out a local militia which would not be a local militia, that his estimate of his compatriots was very different from that which ,had been formed by his former colleagues, the mem bers of the Grey-Russell Administration. It enabled him to assert, in language of withering contempt, that the Act introduced by the First Lord of the Treasury is one which virtually declares " that Englishmen are cheats, that Scotchmen are cowards, and that Irishmen are traitors"—a definition wel comed by the House of Commons with shouts of approval for the orator and of scorn for the Govern ment. From that moment until the close of his brief but memorable speech of yesterday, Lord PAL MBEATON was incited to a burst of eloquent invective which created an enthusiasm such as has not for a considerable time been experienced within the walls of the Imperial Parliament. Speaking of the distrust of the people manifested by the Ministry in the pre amble of their proposed measure in reference to the militia, the orator continued—" Now I am dis posed to confide in the people. If you cannot trust your population,to defend themselves, their lives, and their properties, you had much better give up your Bill.—(Cheers.) If you cannot trust them to come to their standards when their country is in danger, when their homes are attacked—if you cannot trust the Scotchman to fight the enemy with his ancient bravery, or the Irishman to be loyal to his QUEEN and country, why then let us send for a Russian force—(Tremendous cheering) —or an Austrian gar rison —(Continued cheering)—let us make the shame ful confession in the face of Europe that England is no longer England, that the people of this country have neither the spirit nor the courage to defend themselves, their homes, and their families. —(Loud cheers.) That is not my opinion of the character of the people of England. lam convinced that they are proud of their country—that they are sensible of the value of all that they have to defend— and that they are anxious to maintain the indepen dence of their country.—(Loud cheers.) Ido not think them likely to give way to an unwise panic, but that they are prepared, by coolness and determi nation, to guard against dangers which are possible, but which are not immediately probable.—(Cheers.) If the Government of this country makes an appeal to the people, and shows them the danger which they have to provide for, the value of what they have to defend, and calls on them for a moderate exertion, I am confident that you will not find your substitutes indisposed to perform their duty—that you will still find Scotchmen emulous of their native character, and that you will not find Irishmen betraying the country to which they belong.—(Loud cheers.) You will then have a force costing you very little, and you will show to all the nations of the world that you are pre pared to maintain your high position, and to repel either insult or aggression. You will by this means avert a danger which a local militia would not arrive in time to prevent; and you will secure a peace, which we all value, and maintain the country in that position to which it is so eminently entitled." Such were the m emora bl e wor d s w ith w hi c h th e l a t e Foreign Secretary closed his speech against her MAJESTY'S Government, words which were hailed with the enthusiasm that might have been expected from the Members of the lower branch of the Legis lature. Upon the division which ensued there were found on the side of the Cabinet 125, and on the side of its great opponent 136—leaving a majority of eleven against the Administration. Thereupon the PRIME MINISTER reluctantly announced his recogni tion that the votes were tantamount to a declaration on the part of the representatives of a want of confidence in himself and his colleagues, closing this acknow ledgment with a wretched little sneer—the point of which we cannot for the life of us discover—at the " 0: 4 Viscount PALMERSTON." How just this retribution to the Cabinet is the people of England need not be reminded. It affords a solemn illustration of the truth of that old axiom of Government—Rex datur propter regnum non reg num propter regem—Potentia non est nisi ad bonum— a truth which has of late been so very flagrantly disregarded by her MAJESTY'S advisers. The immediate result of last night's proceedings must now be awaited with curiosity, of course, but with confidence also, by the mass of the population. Already the " family com pact" may be regarded as actually broken up. Already the re s p ons ibilit y h as d evo l ve d u p on th e Qussri, of calling some o th er s t a t esman th an Lord J our; ease of fo rm i ng RUSSELL to her c o u nc il s f o r th e pur another and a somewhat more popular Administ rat i on. Who that statesman will be it is not diffi cu l t to conjecture. If the feelings and prejadices " engendered . by Court in trigues are t o b e followed it will doubt less be the "Earl O f DERBY If constitutional e tiquette is not t o b e vi olated—that etiquette which points out the man who has been • the direct instru ment of defeating the Government as the very one who should in the first instance be sent for by the MONARCH for the purpose o f creating a new Administration, then it must, o f course, be the,." Lord Viscount PALMERSTON." Endeavours o utset be made to pat c h ma y at the Up a Pro- Pro tectionist Cabinet under the Premi er ship of the Earl of DERRY ; but such a Cabinet cannot by possibility survive • beyond a very brief interval — and the nation will then find that its destinies must, by necessity as it were, be placed in the hands of one of the mast illustrious of its citizens, one of the most distinguished of its statesmen, one in whom it has confidence by reason of his genius, his patriotism, and his experience —the powers of the Government devolving by right of popularity, in a word, upon Viscount PALIEERsToN. What is a pound ? The question has been re peatedly asked, but never more pointedly than by the late Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Bight Hon. Baronet founded his argument, when introducing the Bank Charter Act of 1844, on the interrogatory. It was one suited to those incapable of following difficult subject, or of taking a profound a n d philo sophical view of the point under discuasion. It was received with rapture by the bullionists, who, ,like their celebrated predecessor, SnyLoCK, insisted on the full penalties of their bonds. These contracts were solemnly and deliberately entered into; and if the conusors had agreed to give their respective pounds of flesh " nearest their hearts," why should the validity of the bargain be im peached. The enactments sanctioned in 1819 and 1844 had materially altered the state of facts. The claims of the debtor were double rivetted, because " the purchasing power of the pound was more than doubled," and debtors were compelled to return double value—to bestow twice the labour for merly necessary, in order to obtain the means of li quidating the engagements entered into under very different circumstances. It was worse than useless to represent that though the letter of the law was in favour of the creditors, its spirit under an equitable interpre tation was totally adverse. They cared little for justice; or expediency, so long as they could oppress and defraud their fellow-men by an over-strict ad hesion to the terms of their agreement. "Bargains were bargains," and should be respected, and there should be " no interference on the part of the State with private . transactions"—it being completely for gotten that the change was occasioned by the mone tary code introduced and sanctioned on utterly erro neous and mistaken principles. However absurd, ridiculous, and untenable the arguments, it was the poliey of the moneyocracy to sustain them. Accordingly, when the First Lord of the Treasury declared that " according" to law — according to the ancient monetary policy of the country, the meaning of a pound was neither more nor less the definite quantity of gold, with a mark upon it to determine its weight and fineness — it was received with almost unprecedented acclamation. " If," said the Right Hon. Baronet, " a pound be a mere visionary theory—a fiction which does not exist either in law or practice, in that case one class, relating to paper currency, may be adopted. But if the word ',pound'—your common denomination of value—signifies something more than mere visionary fiction, then another class of measures relating to paper currency will be requisite." There was joy in Israel at the announcement — the House of Judah exulted. " A DANIEL come to judgment" was the shout that reverberated through out the length and breadth of the land when the opinions of the PILEMIER were published. They were lenders not borrowers, they had to receive and not to pay, and accordingly the dangers, the disgrace of repudiation were incessantly urged, and they got many j ournalists to support their views. " A change has, however, come o'er the spirit of their dreams." The discoveries of gold in quanti ties inconceivable, and apparently inexhaustible, has placed the matter in another and a very different point of view. They find that the cellars of the Bank are filled to the very brim, that every possible impediment and obstacle is interposed to prevent the anticipated plethora of specie. Bat it " has increased," " is increasing," and " will increase" despite the Mrs. PA.RTINGTON-like attempts of the directors to sweep back the tide. " The stream of bullion is still flowing to the country." We might stereotype the expression which we have had occasion to use for many weeks, and which will still be ap plicable for a considerable period. The law of supply and demand cannot be altered at the mere will and pleasure of the magnates of Threadneedle-street, and if they ever had any real power they sacrificed it, at the first summons of the enemy, in 1844. They must receive bullion at the fixed and stipulated price, no matter how abundant it may become. They must "sell in the cheapest and purchase in the dearest markets," reversing every doctrine and principle of political economy. And their own insane adhesion to the Bill of 1844—because it was of temporary advantage, because it served their purpose for the time being —has materially aggravated the danger of their position. We now find from the last return that the stock of bullion in the Bank coffers is no less than 18,596,1671., an increase of 314,524/. within the week, and nearly 1,200,000/. more than was ever stored up io any former year. We find that California more than fulfils the sanguine anticipations that had been in dulged in, when the auriferous qualities of the soil were first ascertained. The organized efforts of the different gold mining companies that have already been estab lished, or are in course of formation, must more than quadruple the supply. But, in addition, we have Australia, the intelligence from which shows that even the Californian miracles may be surpassed. Why, from what we have seen even in the columns of the great organ of the bullionists, we may conclude that Lake Bathurst alone would supply the Mint, that the " Mulwarre ponds" would provide as much gold as we have heretofore had, through the Russian AUTOCRAT, from the Ural mountains. The Times is at length converted. The Leviathan will no longer repeat the interrogatory, " What is a pound ?" A feeler has already been put forward in its columns, in the shape of a letter inquiring " Why must the absolute weight, the amount of metal in the pound , the quantity of gold which is the equivalent va l ue o f 203., rema i n fi xe d a t w h a t i t i s at present ?" We are then gravely asked, " What is to prevent us from doubling the quantity of gold, which we may still call the pound ?" ( Ill) And this is already gravely put forward in the Times in the most important part of its broad sheet, the column immediately following its leading articles. The straw has been thrown out to ascertain the feeling of the country, but the ruse is uselesr, the hum bug is too transparent. Even the ",leading journal" cannot so speedily change its sentiments and advocate new principles and doctrines. Once more then, we repeat, there is yet time for a satisfactory arrange ment of the question ; but if there be any procrasti nation, if the monetary code be not placed on a satis factory basis within the present session, the bullion ists will have cause to regret the apathy, or worse than apathy, that has been hitherto exhibited by their leaders. LATEST FROM PARIS. (BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.) PARIS, SATURDAY, 8.30. A.M. M. Bocher; ex-Deputy, and one of the executors for the Orleans family, has been arrested, and is de tained at the Conciergerie under a charge of propa gating seditious publications.—Times. SOUTH CHURCH 'UNION LECTURES.—The third lecture of this series was delivered at the Town Hall, Brighton, on Thursday night, by the Rev. J. M. Neale, on the subject—The Bible the Religion of Protestants. The room, in spite of a fire which broke out in an adjoining street, and the bringing out the engines through the audi ence, was crowded. The lecturer, in the first place, traced the history of the word " Protestant," and contended that it had deliberately been rejected by the Church of England. He then combated the celebrated dictum—The Bible, and the Bible only, is the religion of Protestants, by showing how Protestant tradition had added to it on the one side and subtracted from it on the other. A good deal of feeling both for and against the sentiments of the lecturer, was occasion ally manifested; but, on the whole, the good humour of the meeting was remarkable. We understand that the next lecture is fixed for March 12. APOTHECARIES HALL.—The following are the names of gentlemen who passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practice, on Thursday, February 19, 1852 :—Thomas John Eames Brown, Dorchester, Dorset; George Samuel Rhodes, Dewsbury, Yorkshire. _ A notice was issued from the Treasury yesterday postponing the day for the receipt of tenders for the loans of 50,0001. and 40,100/. for Demerara and Trinidad from Thurs day next until Friday next, the 27th inst. At the Court of Bankruptcy yesterday the choice of assignees was perfected under the estate of Messrs. E. Fyffe and Sons, who lately failed in the East and West India trade. The parties appointed were Mr. W. Hammond, of Lime-street, London, and Mr. W. P. Greenhow, of Man chester. The debts are stated to be 30,0001., and the assets about 5,0001. WATERFORD, FEB. 19.—The Hawk, from Nantes, put in here to-day, with loss of fore-topmast, bulwarks, and sprit; the Valentia, coal-laden, has been in here, the crew having left her anchor off Loftus Hall. CARDIF F , F ED . 19.—Tbe Glenroy, hence for Liverpool, lying at anchor in Penarth Roads, was run into this morning by the hiEdor of London, from Havre for this port, and received so much damage as to oblige her to slip her chains and run on Penarth beach, where she now lies sunk. THE INDIAN MAlL,—Yesterday the Oriental Company's steam-packet Bentinck arrived at Southampton with the heavy portion of the Indian mail and 45 passengers. She brings no news, her intelligence having been anticipated by the express overland mail. THE ATTACK. ON MR. CHAMBRE.--A man named John /SPGinnes has been committed to Armagh gaol, to stand his trial at the assizes, charged with having been concerned in the attempt on Mr. Chambre, THE DOUNE BANK ROD BERT. —T he greater part of the money stolen out of the Doune Bank a few we eks ago has been recovered, and three or four persons have been ap prehended and lodged in prison on suspicion of having been concerned in the rehherYo—GlaVezeDaily MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS (THIS DAY.) The defeat upon the Militia Bill, and the language subsequently used by Lord John Russell, will give a significance and interest to the Ministerial movements, since the Commons was last night, suddenly vacated by its astonished occupants. There is reason for be lieving that the announcement of the resignation by the morning journals was somewhat premature, though the statement of Lord John Russell led to that inference, because it was necessary that the Noble Lord should consult his colleagues before taking so important a step. Late last night there still remained considerable doubt in the minds of several members of the Administration, whether a vote taken unexpectedly, and at a time when many of the Government supporters were temporarily ab sent from the House, should be treated as a direct want of confidence in the Ministry, and, if rumour can be at all relied upon, it was hoped matters might be so arranged as to prevent the necessity of an imme diate abandonment of office. The Premier had in terviews and communications with the majority of the after the division and also this morn ing, Cabinet a n d sho rt ly w e 3; I lieve the result was in favour of a re signation. The rock-ahead, in the shape of Mr. Ad derley'a motion on the colonies for Tuesday, probably exercised a strong influence upon them in arriving at that conclusion. Lord John Russell visited the Marquis of Lansdowne, at Lansdowne-house, at an early hour this morning, and remained with him a considerable time. The Right Hon. Mr. Fox Maule met the Noble Lord at Lansdowne-house, but none of the other Cabinet Ministers were present at the interview. The Premier and the President of the Board of Control left the Noble Marquis's residence at half-past eleven o'clock, and walked through the Green Park to BuckinghamPalace.They were met in the Mall by the Foreign Secretary, Earl G-ranville,who accompanied them to the Palace. Lord John separated had from his t wo co ll eagues a t th e entrance, and subse quentlyMsjesty. Th ere can be no doubt that the object of a rather prolonged audience with her his visit to the Queen was to formally tender his re signation and that of the whole Cabinet. Whether the resignation was accepted or not remains to be seen, but under the peculiar circumstances in which the Government are now and have been for some time placed, her Majesty could scarcely adopt any other course than release her present advisers from the difficulties of their position. The question will naturally arise, Who are to be their successors ? If Lord John be asked by his Sovereign to solve the problem, he will, perhaps, point to the Earl of Derby as the only statesman who has any chance of carrying on the government o f the country. There i-, certainly, as affairs now are, no other political chief equal to the post or the responsibility, and grave doubts must be entertained whether the Earl of Derby, even if he accept office, will have support sufficient to govern the country for many weeks without repeated defeats. The Noble Earl is absent from London, and is not expected to return to town to. day. We understand that Mr. Fox Maule announced at Brooks's Club this morning, that Lord John Russell had been to the Queen, and that the resig• nation of the Cabinet had been accepted. REUNION DES ARTS. Messrs. Gollosick and a most brillia n t so i r e e Goffrie, Th ts directors for thei ref benefit,tsociety, gave last night, at Queen Ann street, which was crowded with very elegant company. On this occasion the pro gramme was printed, and consisted of very excellent vocal and instrumental music. In tho first part Hummel's trio, played by Messrs.

About body Shepherd halt-past ten o' clock on Thursday forenoon the body of Samuel Wolstenholme was taken out dead. At half - past two in the afternoon James Lees was taken out alive: his finger nails were tom of by his endeavours to escape from a water y grave. About three o'clock in the afternoon the body of Robert Howorth was taken out dead. Oa Thursday night the bodies of Benjamin Shepherd, William Yates, and Emanuel Howorth were not found, but efforts were being made by the miners to discover them. The pit was fifty four yards deep, and the place where the accident occurred was about three hundred yards from the shaft.

They are actively progressing. The blasting operations, Which are now being carried on daily at the "mountain," are upon the most gigantic scale, if not the most extensive ever carried on. The quarries of ochistus quartz are situated about half a mile from Holyhead, and are the largest in the country ; and the m i n ing o perations are ordinarily carried on by m eans of heavy c h ar ges of .So,ooolb. o f gun p ow der, which are fired through the medium of galvanic batteries. The rock, on being dislodged in large masses from the mountain, is placed on proper trains and drawn by locomotives, and is carried upon three lines of railw a y to the water's edge, and canted into the sea at a depth of fifty feet at low-water mark, in older to form the breakwater. Some of the stones thus dis lodged by the explosions weigh upwards cf 20 tons. Some idea of the vastness of the operations now being carried on may be gathered from the fact that nearly 6.000,000 tons of material will be required to form the breakwater and sea pier; and of this quantity about 5,500,000 tons have been deposited to form the fore-shore of the breakwater; this latter will be 600 feet in width at the base, and the proper settlement of the material thus deposited Is ascertained by the engineer-in-chief and his staff. The foreshore will ex tend 2,600 feet to the seaward. The breakwater will enclose an area of 316 acres, three-quarters of a mile in length, in 5i fathoms of water, with a sea pier 2,000 feet in length, and the cost of the Whole will be about 700,00 01 . half-yearly meeting of the Sunderland Joint- Stock Bank, which stopped on the 21st of November, was held on Wednesday, when a statement of the present position of the accounts was laid before the shareholders. The lia bilities have now been reduced to 58,5841., and as the assets are estimated at 38,3001., a deficiency remains to be sub scribed of 2 0,2831. An action has been commenced against Mr. Robert Brown, one of the largest debtors of the bank, which is expected to be tried at the ensuing Durham assizes. A call of 24 10s. per share is to be met by the proprietors on the 25th instant. ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WooLwicir, Fan. 20.-35 fine young men, recruits, joined head-quarters here on Wed nesday, in charge of Sergeant Mason, having been enlisted at Lisburn, Ireland, by the recruiting party under Captain Beresford, and on their being approved of joined the 4th battalion. s 2 young men, recruits, arrived at head quarters yesterday, in charge of Sergeant Maclaren, having been enlisted by the recruiting party at Coleraine, under Captain G.

Eight companies of the Royal Artillery —one com pany of the 4th battalion, one of the sth, o ne o f t h e 6 t h , two of th e 9th , and three o f the 11th battalion—assembled in, light marching order to-day at a quarter to 11 o'clock, A.M., under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Desbriasay. Lieutenant -General Sir Thomas Dovrnrnan, C. 8., K.C.H., commandant of the garrison, arrived at precisely 11 o'clock, accompanied by-Brigade-Major Bingham, and Captain Rid dell, ; seputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General of Artillery, and on taking up a position at the south-east gate the com panies marched past, headed by the drums and flutes, and proceeded past the Royal blilitary Academy in the direction of Blackheath. Leiutenant-Colonel Burnaby being next on the roster for a foreign command, would have been ap , pointed to succeed the late Lieutenant-Colonel Tomkyns at Hong-Kong, but on being examined by a medical board to day he has been reported unfit for foreign service, and will consequently retire on full pay. Lieutenant-Cololonel Bur naby served in the campaign of 1815, and at the battle of Waterloo. THE TiltEs," ON Louts NAPOLEON.—The do mestic policy of M.

Cotton was in active demand at Liverpool yesterday, sales for the week 74,300 hales at an advance ot in American and Surat, and to id. in Bahia.—Railway Shares were rather firmer. A very considerable increase has occurred again in the amount of bullion in the Bank of England. During the week, to the:l4th inst., the addition exceeded what htiss occurred for some time past, but there was another feature nut cf late observable•, viz , an extension of the circulation. The amount paid in and withdraw❑ upon deposit accounts would pretty nearly balance each other, and we must ascribe the larger circula ion of paper to purchases of or loans upon Government Securities, and to sales of gold in specie and dust to the Bank.

Iu California numerous private individuals have constructed machinoy that has entirely failed, and as the services of experienced par ties are to be had in this country, it will be a saving, in the first instance, to make them available. There is some talk of a new patent for rendering quartz triable, but the expense may be an object, unless more has been accemphste d than former chemists have succeeded in. The following letter has been addressed to us upon the Australian Mine question:— " Sir, —Notwithstanding the croakings of our political Mufti, the Australians still persist in robbing the earth of its newly-discovered sweets; all classes are fl caking to the more attractive • diggings,' from whence they are sending back, under weekly escerts, the produce of their industry, in the form of valuable treasure. The gold seekers are enriching themselves, and for once at least the Government is cheerfully paid its tax upon labour. What the amount of this royalty will be it is impossible to estimate, but there is every reason to believe that the tax will produce a revenue more than suflicent to satisfy any legitimate demands for local improvement. The population of our Australian settlements has hitherto been comparatively sufficient for their increasing pros perity, but the great efflux of labour which has re cently been carried away from commercial and agri cultural enterprises has developed an evil which makes reparation necessary. It is alleged, and I believe the report has gained credit, that the Colonial Govern ment have, in consequence offered to promote emigra tion by the aid of a very large sum of money. Australia, by the possession of its mineral resources, has assumed and must maintain a most important position in our Colonial establishments; her population will increase in' an unprecedented ratio, her agricultural and commer cial products will be enlarged in equal proportion, her citizens will acquire in case and competence a greater taste for luxuries, and open to the manufacturers of Great Britain new ports and ready markets. Her mines will pour a new stream of wealth into this country, and give additional lustre to the dignity of the Empire. Public companies are elready forming here intending to ap a gulden harvest in her mines. Noblemen of the highest rank unite with men of business in consecrating some of these undertakings, but tnis should form a special object or inquiry with intending shareholders, some of the men behind the curtain, and who, for reasons best known to themselves, are afraid to appear in public, having taken advantage of the legitimate desire to embark moderately in the new speculntien—for all mining is to a certain ex tent a speculation, however remunerative on the average, and " cooked-up" the rottenest concerns ever ushered into existence since the famed West Middlesex' In surance. lam sorry to say too that a few of the Cali fornian companies have been formed too hastily. They will lose money by the machinery sent out, and they have paid too dearly for their concessions. I fear the Australian companies may, if not careful, matte a similar mistake. I only Bee ono company that advertises a paid engineer, who has been en gaged in both silver and gold mining in America, to get up its machinery in England. Others have sent out parties of tolerable experience, but leave the makers of machinery here to act pretty well on their own judg meet. Tne Central Australian' Company selects a superintendent here to aid and direct Messrs. Bolton and Watt, and this in one shape or another all the rest must do. Not to trespass more on your space, though a great deal more could be said upon the unbusiness-like way in which some of the companies are being launched, I will just observe that I think copper will utter as great a temptation as gold in Australia, and beg to subscribe myself, yours, &e., " T.
