MINERAL WEALTH OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Intelligence to so recent a date as the 7th of October has been received from Adelaide. by the overland mail. A special survey of 20,000 acres has been secured by the combined efforts of a number of the colonists, who have paid 20,0001., in terms of the last Act, for regu lating the sales of land in the Australian colonies. By this purchase a district of that extent has been ob tained, singularly rich in copper ore. We are particularly pleased that the enterprising co mist., whose exemplary conduct we have had frequent occasion to commend, have secured this rich prize. It would have been a great pity if they had allowed it to slip through their fingers, even although it had been picked up by our friends, the Anstralian Mining Com pany. There is, we believe, enough for them in re serve; but they must seek it out, and must not grudge those who have " borne the burden and heat of the day," enjoying the benefit of their own discoveries. The purchase is very satisfactory, too, in another respect. It would never have taken place if the Gover nor had made any reserve of the minerals. By the terms of the Act he was authorised, in the case of special sur veys of 20,000 acres, to impose " such terms and condi tions as to him shall seem meet." We know little more than the fact of the purchase having been made, the money paid, and lodged by the Governor in the banks ; but we have every reason to believe that the price was twenty shillings per acre, and that certainly the abso lute freehold of the property has been obtained. The value of the purchase cannot be estimated. We have seen a very interesting report, from a scientific gentleman, who accompanied thither some friends . who intended to take an interest in the special survey, from which we extract the following account, which might be supposed to be exaggerated, but which, on the contrary, those who knew the writer rely on as a faithful and un questionable account of what he actually saw : " INDICATIONS OF COPPER ORE.—Having walked over tae • flcetz' formation, we approached a hill which is al most detached from the main range, and, ascending it from its south-west base, we quickly found ourselves travelling over the older series of rocks, where quartz and greenstone, with fragments of imperfect perphyry, have been thrust up boldly through the old clay-slate ; and there we saw, at almost every step, strong indica tions of the presence of rich copper lodes. " These indications at first appeared to us in the shape of spar, containing crystals of the azure-blue carbonate of copper ; and, as we ascended higher up the hill, we found numerous fragments of grey and green sulphuret of copper attached to quartz and greenstone ; ascending still higher, we found a continuous outcrop of grey sul phuret of copper exhibited on the surface, averaging about eighteen feet in breadth, and extending over the brow of the hill, and down again to the south-eastern base or gully, more than a mile in length. " From this gully another hill arose, which was not so much detached as the first one we inspected, but rather appeared to be a spur from the main range ; and just at the point of jnnction, where the above-mentioned exten sive outcrop of grey sulphuret of copper disappeared in the gully, we saw a broad and beautiful display of azure blue carbonate of copper, intermixed with quartz, crop ping out through the surfacs, and traceable for upwards of two hundred paces, exposing an average breadth of about fifteen feet. " At this place we opened the ground about three or four feet, and found the most favourable indications of a large and regular lode being near at hand—abundance of gossim' presented itself, and masses of spar, con taining highly crystalline carbonate of copper, were fre quently encountered. " We then proceeded higher up the hill, and found, at different elevations, three other distinct and well defined traces of ore : indeed the hills appeared to be full of it I—almost every stone we picked up betrayed either directly or inferentially the presence of rich copper lodes. A fragment, struck off at random from the corner of a large quartz boulder, exhibited no less than three varieties of ore (the grey sulphuret, the blue carbonate, and the copper pyrites) ; and we could scarcely move a step without observing some kind of mineralogical evi dence indicating the proximity of metalliferous veins." We are aware that in this country it is considered an unfavourable symptom when metallic lodes crop out on the surface of the ground ; but in South Australia it is otherwise. Short as has been the experience of the colonists in mining operations, it has been sufficient to show that this rule of judging does not apply to the minerals in that country. The party having visited the Kapunda mines on their return to Adelaide, the same writer expressly states— " At the Kapunda mines, where the outcrop of copper ore was at first very apparent on the surface, as usual in this country, the ground has already been opened to the depth of fifteen fathoms, and the lodes have been found not only to increase in size and regularity, as they go deeper underground, but also to improve in richness and value, according to their depth." As there is at one place a continuous outcrop of metal, extending more than a mile in length, and averaging about eighteen feet in breadth ; and as on the termination of that outcrop another is found, traceable for upwards of two hundred paces, exposing an average breadth of about fifteen feet; if these, too, like those at Kapunda, shall improve in richness and value, according to their depth, who can estimate the value of that purchase? At the time of the framing of the Act sth and 6th Vice. cap. 36, for regulating the sale of waste land belonging to the Crown in the Australian colonies, we believe that no man expected that the clause relative to " blocks of unsurveyed land comprising 20,000 acres," would ever come into operation; it was regarded as providing for a contingency, merely possible, but in the highest degree improbable ; yet it has already been twice acted on, and measures, we understand, are in progress for rendering it available a third time—another company being in the course of formation for the pur pose of securing a special survey in some other rich mineral district in South Australia. They must quicken their motions. The survey secured by the colonists lies beyond the northern boundary of the county " Light," in lat. 33d.

GUERNSEY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Through the medium of your journal, I hope to offer a more faithful view than the local papers afford of the events which f:,r the last few years have filled the minds of Guernseymen, the columns of their Star, and the pockets of its proprietor. W hen Major- General Napier first arrived in the island be was to govern, the inhabitants of Guernsey deemed their consequence increased by the appointment of so distinguished an officer, and, misinterpreting his courtesy for weakness, each nobody sought to be his particular friend, and sole adviser. But they soon found that he was not to be made a tool of, as former governors had been; his nature could not bend itself to party squabbles or petty intrigues, nor would his keen sense of right and wrong allow him, like some of his pre decessors to wink at iniquity or permit crime to escape " unw hipped of justice.' Like more than one royal martyr, he has suffered not for his own, but for the mis deeds of others. One of his first " misdemeanours" in the eyes of the islanders was his detection of the injustice manifested in the sentences awarded by the Royal Court.* For in stance, some soldiers for petty offences, and an English lad for breaking a few lamps, were adjudged to punish ments much more severe than was inflicted on a member 'of their own bar, a Guernsey man, for a deliberate and almost successful attempt at murdering an Englishman. One of thepoldiers, who went into prison a healthy man, died within a few weeks of his release. It would be endless to detail all the acts of which the governor has had to complain, or to complain of the falsification of every circumstance which has characterised the whole of the island press; suffice it to say, Major-General Napier has been the mark for gross and incessant insult. Never was a lion so brayed at. With much possession of loyalty the chief delight of Guernseymen is to insult the representative of royalty, and to question the authority of the British Government. The abuses which they call their laws, and to which they cling with great pertinacity, are called as the fancy of each jurat may suggest, from a wide field of obsolete Norman customs; and, as justice is, they are aware, typi fied by a female, they substitute an old woman with spectacles for the blindfolded goddess. Guernseymen are proverbially under female control from their cradles to their graves, and the mothers, aunts, cousins, generally furnish the jurat with their opinion ;and advice before evidenceot r f it co ur n an r a l se . i t s t o o o u t o w b e e i d g i h e n t t h to e he takes his place in awful state upon the bench; and be of the to al d l o o m w e a s n ti y e Mrs. te C s au o d see frequent details of " military outrages " in our malignant Star, profitable no doubt to the editor—never theless, a cowardly outrage of which a Guernseyman was the hero, received not one syllable of notice, although it is the constant custom to report the proceedings in criminal trials most minutely. It is to be presumed, therefore, that a Guernseyman can do no wrong, or that no Guernseyman's wrong-doings can find a place in the leading newspaper. The facts, nevertheless, are as follows :—an English lady, accompanied by her little daughter, driving her self in a pony phaeton, was met on the high road by a Guernseyman, who wantonly and maliciously red a impulse of alarm had subsided, the English lady, being a followed the musket over the pony's head. After the first natural person of more than common courage, Gurnseyman, in order to identify him ; finding himself thus courageously pursued , he threatened to fire at her, instead of over the horse's head. Fortunatel y the fellow was identified. The lady was, nevertheless besought by her Guernsey connexions not to pr, , secute; but the matter was too notorious to be hushed up. The criminal was tried, and on overwhelming evidence, convicted, when lo ! the chivalrous sentence of the Guernsey court was two week's imprisonment, which to the delinquent was a mere farce. Now, had this outrage been committed by a man in a red coat, by birth Eng lish, Irish, or Scotch, Guernsey would have rang with the atrocity, and myriads of " Stars" would have wan dered out of their orbits to enlighten other worlds. How the proprietor is rewarded for his silence remains a mystery, which I leave to the wisdom of the jurats to solve. When the Reform Bill extended the Elective Fran chise in; Scotland, it provided, that the electors of any city, burgh, or town, were to be the " true Owners," or occupants (see sec. XL and throughout,) of premi ses of the yearly value of 101. or upwards ; and, ac cordingly, none but those who, bona fide, held property, either as owners or occupants, in the city, burgh, or town, were to be registered as electors. Of late years, however, in order to serve political purposes, a system has sprung up in many other burghs of Scotland, as well as our own, which has for its aim, the fabricating or manufacturing of votes in a fictitious way, and not in compliance with the plain and honest meaning of the Reform Bill, which specifies that " true owners or occu pants," are alone to be registered. It may be necessary to point out in this address the way which these fictitious votes are manufactured:—A proprietor of a house, or other property in the burgh, willing to serve a political purpose, divides his property into lots, each of the value of 101. yearly rent; he makes over each lot to a person who will serve his political end; he gives him a disposition to the 101. lot; takes his bill for the pretended value of it; but the voter is never in feft in the property, nor is the disposition, in general, delivered up to the party in whose favour it is made. It is, therefore, quite apparent that this system is not in accordance with the true spirit and honest meaning of the Reform Bill, as by means of the illusory votes thus fabricated, it has already been employed to swamp the votes of the real or bona fide constituency. In the burgh of Haddington a considerable number of such votes exist, which have been frequently exercised at the municipal elections, to the prejudice, loss, and detri ment of the bona fide voters ; and in course of time, the evil may be so much i!icreased, that the Parlia mentary, as well as Municipal influence of burghs, may he s'lely vested, not in the resident and true voters, but in parties altogether strangers to the burgh, and who can have no real or immediate interest in it at all. Connected with this system, attention is particularly requested to the nature of tke oath, which the Reform Bill allows to be administered to voters, suspected of holding fictitious votes. The oath is as follows :—I, A. 8., do solemnly swear, that I am the individual de scribed in the register for as A. 8., of , that I am still the proprietor (or occupant,) of the property for which I am so registered, and hold the same for my own benefit, and not in trust for, or at the pleasure of any other person, and that I have not already voted at this election. It may be said in justification of these fictitious votes, that they have been placed on the roll by the registering sheriff, and hence are legal votes, and this may be the way in which the holders of them soothe their consci ences, in taking the oath, but it was just because the Legislature foresaw that legal votes might be made, which yet ought to be excluded, that it has appealed to the moral and religious feelings of the voter, by interpos ing an oath ; for it must be evident, that an oath would not have been resorted to, had it been possible by the force of law to prevent such practices. If, then, the oath ought to have been taken in the plain sense in which it was enacted, and without any men tal reservation, equivocation, or explanation, inconsistent with the purpose of its enactment, it is earnestly sug gested to all to whom the oath may be put, that they reconsider the grounds on which they are satisfied, they can, with a clear conscienae, take the burden upon them selves of answering as before God, and that, in their case, the evident intention of the Legislature in im posing the oath, has been complied with. In the inde cency and irreverence with which the oath has been often taken—its solemnity, as the most sacred assevera tion a man can make, is entirely broken and disregarded; and a wholesale deterioration of public morals, as well as much moral guilt, is the natural and necessary conse quence of such a system. The Town Council of Haddington, therefore, feel it to be their duty to impress on every individual elector of this burgh, the necessity of lending a helping hand to prevent, if possible, the further increase of such a perni cious system, alike discreditable to those who are the means of making them. It is the intention of the coun cil to correspond with the other burgs of Scotland, in order to obtain their co-operation, in an application to Parliament, for a remedial measure ; and to request them to bring the subject particularly under the consi deration, both of their representatives, and of their con stituencies. In the meantime, he wever, much may be done by each individual elector, condemning the system as mush as possible, and bringing it, by the force of public feeling, into just and merited unpopularity and odium. WM. DODS, Provost. The above are the resolutions and address of the Town Council of Haddington on the subject of ficti tious votes in the burgh. We have only to mention tion that the Council is composed of Conservatives as well as Whigs, and that the resolutions and address were unanimous adopted. Several fictitious voters are reported, before the issuing of this address, to have re nounced their claims, and we should think that those who hold them after this •' expose" by foe and friend, are destitute alike of intellectual and moral perception, and totally void of self-respect.

Died, on Saturday morning last, on St. David's-hill, Exeter, Miss Catherine Mary Moore, a very eccentric old lady, who, for a great number of years until very lately, had lived in great seclusion. Regarding the last moments of the deceased a professional gentleman has sent us the following particulars:—" About one o'clock in the morning she sent for a solictor to make her will. She was found in a state of great debility, but gave her instructions very clearly. In these she had excluded her relatives—giving 2,0001. to two children of a friend, a dwelling-house to another, with the residue to a lady with whom she had for some short time past been on terms of intimacy. The solicitor asked her if she in tended wholly to exclude her nephews and nieces, and she replied in the affirmative. The solicitor declined making the will without the attestation of the medical gentleman who had attended her, and who was sent for. By the time the instructions were given, one of her nephews came to her house and into her bed-room; the old lady expressed great aversion to this gentleman, di rected a policoman to be called: she became highly ex cited, gave a violent shriek, and expired." From the Luminary we copy also their statement of this very extraordinary lady :—" The deceased was a member of a most respectable family, of long standing in. the county, and formerly settled at Cadeleigh Court. She was most eccentric in her dress and manners, and was better known by her eccentricities than by any other point of her character. She had a sister who was a great invalid, and who died about three years ago.. For many years the two lived together, in the same house upon St. David's Hill, without any servant or attendant of any kind. The sister who first died was not seen out of doors for many years before her de c ease, moreoease, and the one whose death we are now recording , hasethenecessary n frequently than was necessary t opure reputed wealthy, supplies of the house. Thoug h always they suffered the house in which the y lived to fall into a nd the front most ruinous and dkilaptdated state, ashutters ept eloaed, so that the house, to were invariably the passers by, had all the appearance of being unin habited. On th e death of the sister, Miss Catherine Moore hired a person to assist her in the house, who was in the habit of coming in the morning and leaving again a t night. Within a comparati ve ly recent eriodhe r habits have become much more expensive than they had ever been before. Costly plate, and articles of dress have been purchased in, apparently, the most reckless way ; and she has been dashing about at races and con certs, and other public places ; her attire, at whatever cost procured, always maintaining its eccentricity of ap pearance. bier last illness was of short duration, for she had kept her bed only a very few days. Her property is understood to be large, and as she is believed to have died intestate, it will be divided among her relations, none of whom are rich. There is a story, well authen ticated, about a will that was made but not executed, by which far the larger portion of her wealth would have devolved upon a lady who has manifested for soma time past the most anxious solicitude for her, and he.g been most assiduous in her endeavours to cheer her for lorn condition. The lady we mean was the sneaessful party in a will cause of some consequence, not long since decided in the Ecclesiastical Court d the Diocese. The scene as rumour points it—the (lying woman, with difficulty supported in her bed—the lawyer with the will, written, but not executed—the "intended legatee keeping guard over the door—the entrance of the nephew, a Naval Lieutenant, in MI uniform—and:finally, the un happy possessor of tho:: coveted inheritance yielding up her spirit, in tb'e midst of the uproar around her— must have 13'am one of intense and most painful excite ment." PONTEFRACT.—It is strongly reported in Pontefract, and we hope it is true, that John Gully, Esq., is to oppose the two monopolist Members for the borough of Pontefract, at the next general election, on free-trade principles. There is not the slightest doubt that the worthy gentleman would be elected by a large majority.—Leeds Times. RUNNING MaTcH.—There was a tolerable sprinkling of company on Tuesday afternoon at Acton Bottom, to wit ness the 1,000 yards race between Mathews, of Birmingham, and Fro3t, of Llolloway, filr 10/. aside: Mathews, on the signal being given, jumped off with the lead, kept it, and won by about fifteen yards, doing the distance in two minutes and 27 seconds. CAUTION.—RISCA CATASTROPHE —We have been informed that several idle fellows are already travelling in parts of this county and Glamorganahire, stating that they are persons who had escaped from the colliery, where the explosion had taken place, merely with their lives, but being sorely hurt. Now, whoever is attempting, or will attempt, such an imposition on the humane, may be safely considered as impostors, for, it is officially communicated to us, that as long as any persons are sufferers from this cala mity, and conduct themselves well, so long will the pro prietors provide for their wants.—Monmouthshire Merlin. DEATH OF RICHARD LATHAM, ESQ., F.L.S.—This gentleman, who was a life governor of Christ's and. St. Bar tholomew's Hospitals, a life subscriber to St. Ann's Schools, life subscriber to the Licensed Victuallers' School and Asylum, Fellow of the Linnean Society, and for upwards of a quarter of a century acting partner in the eminent brewery of Sir Henry Meux and Co., died on Saturday morning, in the 79th year of his age, at his residence, Bayswater Villa, Bayswater, after an illness of a few days. Mr. Latham re ceived the rudiments of his education in Christ's Hospital, and in grateful recollection of the boon, the first 4001. he saved by industry and frugality he devoted to the uses of that noble institution. To employ his own emphatic words —"From that happy moment he prospered." He afterwards became wealthy, entertained most hospitably, and in his leisure hours penetrated deeply into the scientific recesses of chemistry, botany, geology, and ornithology. He was a philanthropist, and sustained that high character so nobly as to devote nearly the whole of his long and useful life to the comfort, happiness, and worldly improvement of his fellow creatures, without reference to grade or station : and his gra' t eturn " good for evil.

Resolved,•=That it is the opinion of this Committee that as regards the Colonial Expenditure, the different charges, including the barges of collecting the revenue, be classed separately under their fferent heads, and that the same order of arrangement be univer lly adopted. 6. Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the bald charges for salaries and other personal services be kept distinct from all other charges. 7. Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this Committee that in case of extraordinary or unanticipated expenditure, a Supplementary Es timate, in the same form as the Yearly Estimate, be prepared in the colony, and forwarded without delay to the Colonial-office. 8. Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this Committee that linme- Matey after the local examination in each colony of the annual account has been completed, a comparative statement of the esti mated and actual receipts and disbursements of the year should be prepared by the auditors or other officers by whom the accounts are examined, showing under each head of revenue an' expenditure any difference that may have occurred between the estimated and actual receipts and disbursements of the year, and explaining the cause of any such differences. 9. Resolvel,—That it is the opinion of this Committee that as all the evidence taken before the Committee proves the superiority of the double-entry system of book-keeping,—its success wherever in troduced into the public departments, and its general adaptation to the public service, it is expedient that the said system be adopted for keeping the accounts of Colonial Revenue and Expenditure. 10. Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this Committee that a cash book, journal, and ledger be kept in all the colonies, and that the ledger distinctly represent the various heads of receipt and expendi ttue, as exhibited in the Estimates. 11. Resolved,--That it is the opinion of this Committee that with a View to the prompt examination of the Colonial Accounts, in all c ases where a local auditor has not been appointed, provision should be made far a speedy and efficient local examination of the Accounts; and the auditor or other officer to whom • such local examination is entrusted should be ammowred at any and all reasonable times to compare the cash or other balances of the Treasurer, or any other Officer entrusted with public money, with the balances represented in the cash accounts of their respective departments; but such in spection and comparison are not to supersede the periodical verifica tion of public balances by Committees or otherwise. which the Go vernors of colonies have heretofore been instructed to institute. 12.

The ad vance was agreed upon at a meeting of coal owners held a short time since. Monmouthshire Merlin. BARBADOES CoAL.—The following analysis of the bituminous coal found in various parts of the island of Bar badoes, has been made by Mr. Herapath, of Bristol : " The specimen of coal sent me for analysis contains, in 100 parts, as follows : Bitumen, resolvable by heat into tar and g as 61.6 Coke Ashes .................. 1.5 none Sulphur 100 The large proportion of bitumen, in comparison to the coke or carbon, will prevent this coal from being used as a com mon fuel, unless some means are taken to remedy the incon venience; it should he mixed with some substance more fixed in the fire, and consequently of longer endurance in the heat. Hard charcoal, more refractory coal, and even perhaps earthly substances, would be beneficial. If it could thus be made to give a more solid heat, there is nothing to prevent its being made use of gene rally, as the ashes are in very small proportion, and it contains no sulphur, which is very injurious in several manufactures. I should think it could advantageously be employed in the production of gas, of which it would furnish a large quantity, and of a very rich quality, even exceeding that of the cannel coal, the best for that purpose hitherto known.
