Temporary Deus-12, Bucklersbury, London. This Company ying h . purchased the fee simple of eight sec tions, containing 653 acres of mineral ground and freehold land, at Strathalbyn, abou t thirty miles from Adelaide, in South Australia , and withint hi r ty miles of the Murray River, is formed for the working of the valuable copper mines which have been opened out and par tially worked there, but suspended for want of efficient machinery. Competent 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 same favourable ground in which are the celebrated Burro 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 fluccan, and oxide of iron or gossan. in which are found the yellow, black, and grey salphuret 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 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 most comprehensive scale. Samples of the ore reduced to regulue by a small furnace on tie spot, have been sent to this coun try, a portion of which has been assayed by Mr. Johnson, of Hatton garden, and produces 45 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 cost, 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.. Wove. of the working of the Burrs Burra .51ines, and the profits realised r _ Tons. cwt.

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 offices of the company. To work these mines to an immediate profit no delay need take place beyond the time necessary for putti n g up the requisite ma chinery. Including the estimates for erecting the new works and the neces sary machinery, and for the purchaae of the fee simple of the land and mines, with the plant flow on the premises, it is proposed to raise a capital of 50,0001., which will be more than sufficient fbr the purpose—after deducting the purchase-money to be paid to the promoters for their interests, and for the fee-simple of the ground and the money expended on the mine.

FEBRUARY, 1852. fire (c,r - 3 • --- ...yetv4.,:r.,„„, evicittruil LONDON, THURSDAY., FEBRUARY 19, 1852, Fortunately fur the country, there are no lack of opportunities for bringing ab'aut the destruction of the present most inefficient amid unpopular Govern ment. In various departments the members of the Administration have shown the ir inefficiency. Con spicuous, however, among th ose 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 un happily but too fami liarly acquainted. The "Brie.t-dust Budget," for one thing, was bad enough, but: even that was sur passed last session by the doubt budget, so long, so loudly, and so deservedly ridicul sad by the population. It would have been well for tb e 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 h is shortcomings as an administrator have been made n r iserably apparent by a series of the most blundering .acts ever adventured upon by a_Chancellor of the Ex c hequer. Earl GREY has obtained a no less une a viable unpopularity, though his has been acqu ired by a very different course of proceeding . Instead of the do-nothing system of Sill Ci SARLES WOOD, the Noble Lord at the Colonial-office has adopted a policy of the most interfering character, a character at once remarkable for its disple 7 of precipitancy and intemperance. Insomuch has t his been the case that the affairs of the several dependosncies of the Crown have become more or less em broiled at intervals during the period of his singul rsrly mistaken admi nistration. Perhaps the most In elancholy instance of this is the one recently afforde(l. by .the outbreak of hostilities once more between the authorities at the Cape and the natives of Kafirla rid. This revival of war in Southern Africa, as th, a people of England are already aware, is entirely a mid directly attribut able to the course pursued by E, sr! GREY in the con duct of our colonial administi tattion. Yet, though himself the culpable party, th D Colonial Secretary has taken upon himself the respm isibility of recalling a distinguished officer like Sir HARRY SMITH, an nouncing his degradation from ti xe 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 ulti Enatelyond we think also speedily, leading to the equ tally peremptory dis missal of the Colonial Secretar y himself. A more flagrant case of injustice cannot be recorded against her MAJESTY'S Government. The cruelty of the tone in which Earl Gary's no tiarious dispatch was couched removes from our n Iliad, moreover, all anxiety of wounding the feeling 3 of the Noble Lord by the manner in which all par Lies should now, we conceive, unite in bringing abo tat 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 Colo rty, by his disinge nuoua arguments, by his precipi .t.ancy, his indelicay, and hi s ( we f ear wilful) misreprs aentation in the mat ter at issue, Earl -GREY has ren loved himself alto gether laeye.nd th e li m i ts o f th e l rpu l ar sympat hi es- The el •Amuns, • moreover, which ha re been expressed by h is Grate th e D u k e of , WELLING MN, opinions in the strong est manner commendatoi y of the military proceeding s of the vary man •4 whose capacity as a commander has been so ungracef u lly a ssa il e d by the Noble Civilian at the h en i d o f t h e C o l on i a l Department, place the latte r staesman in a position of yet more p a i n f u l eve r e f erre d more and extraordinary em barrassment. Already we 1 th a n once to the matter here againbrought by our selves under public consideration '; b ut we are in duced to revert to the subject bee mus e o f our sense of avail able opportun it s importance : and we shall not ceas e our views upon the q uestion at is sue at every able :.I , y . u ntil such time as we shall witness either the irldividualresign des i ra ble, ationo power by the Earl GREY, or., what is yet more .collective resignatk m o f the whole of the exaMing Government. Elsewhere will be found in our' impression of this evenin g Sir l iAltEr SMITS from th e Government of the , a letter (in refere nce to the dismissal of Cape), addressed to ourselves by an esteemed and valued correspondent. Viewing t he case in point dispassionately, the writer is compe lied to regard the harsh and intemperate dispatch orf Earl GREY an nouncing the recall of his Excel) to ncy, as affording another and a crowning testimon y of the rashness arid incapacity visibl e i n t h e w.hole conduct o f our Colonial Administrati on . FL•c o m the lucidity with which the various stag 'a of this moat lamentable transaction are emu m gated in due se quence, from the candour with wh is h the whole pro ceedings have been recounted in tk. e commun i c ation i here specified, we are sanguine th at i t w i ll b e pe - I rused with the attention to which i t is eminently en- 1 titled, more particularly as, in I altlition to thit., ii: will render all who may happen still to be dimly and inadequately acquainted with the flick i of the case aware of their full import and t heir 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, khameless 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. 0 wing 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 bat 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 of 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 Quzart v. FEUILLAN and DENlS—which was tried yesterday at the Guild hall, in the city of London. Two persons named FEUIL LAN and DENIS were indicted for obtaining goods under false pretences from Mr. H. SILVESTER, 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 gentleman. 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. DEms, 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 trustworthiness and responsibility. Among others, Mr. SILVESTER 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. SILVESTER, 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 elicit 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. SILVESTER 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 c haracter. 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 wa s " 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. SILVESTEE, in order to " make assurance doubly sure," saw FEUILLIN, 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 bim 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 is considered that there is no power to allow the expenses of a trial in banco, when it has been re moved by certiorari. Mr. SILVESTEE 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. SLIMMER in the transaction.

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 NO/MANGY 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. BANDSEET, ex-representative, was a forgery. The Moniteur now publishes the following from M. BA.NDSEPT, dated London : ." You publish a letter by which I am represented as having addressed to M. Louis Bonaparte a request to be snowed 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 GIIIIRONNIERR, chief editor of the Pays, is the Government candidate for the second electoral division of the department of the Cantal. M. FARQ DE LA TOUR MAIIBOURG is the candi date chosen by the Government for the first electoral division of of the department of the Haute-Loire ; M. BARTHELEMY DE RostEur, an ancient chef d'esca dron, for the second division of the arrondissement of Puy and that of Brionde. M. MATHIEU, a barrister, has been proposed by several electors in opposition to M. DE LA Tout MAIIEOURG. The following are the names of the candidates re commended by the Government to the electors of the Pas-de-Calais :—M. Plicbon, Mayor of Arras, late a Representative and Member of the late Commission M. Lequien, late Sub-Prefect and a e late Commission Consultative ; M. Consultative; em ber o f de Herambault, late Representative and Member of the late Commission Consultative; M. Lefebvres Herman, an ancient Deputy ; M. Wattebled an ancient notary. The Bourse was firm. The Five per Cents., opened at 103 f. 70e., and rose to 104 f., but fell subsequently to 103 f. 65c,, at which they closed for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 65f. 60c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,130 f.; Rouen, 650 f. ; Havre, 266 f. 25c.; Great Northern, 5901.• ' Avignon, 230 f.; Vierzon, 527 f. 50c.; Basle, 2131. 75c.; Bordeaux, 445 f.; Paris and Strasburgh, 482 f. 50c.; Tours and Nantes, 301 f. 25c.; Amiens to Boulogne, 300 f.; Paris and Lyons,. 585 f.

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 my subjects. Those demonstrations, however, might be centred in an ohjlct, intended to serve as a permanent'symtol of the religious and charitable character of Spaniards. T o 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 c•.+nstruc 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. (Sgned) "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 LER, SUNDI and FERNANDO Mumoz,',Duke of Rianaares. MADRID BOLEA, FEB. 12.—The Three per Cents. were done at 37i for time; the New Three per Cents. at 18k; the Debt without interest, at 51; and the Coupons, at 9i. " ISABELLA. GERMANY. 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 t and edg the itnh ne Germanicrinegis overc harged. His Royal Highness had an attack of of January, but he is now no cause for any alarm. clen ibnthettbe the better, beg i nn i ng 3 engaged on the question of the German fleet, and also on the 14 th , but the result had not transpired, All the states much (except Austria) are in favour of being maintained as a federal establishment. Il Corriere Italiaxo, an Austrian Governmental organ, contains a long panegyric on the order of Jesuits. It appears that a certain Marchese Eva sion left a considerable amount of property, in land, for the express purpose of endowing Jesuit colleges in the L o mbardo-Venetian kingdom. The property yields an annual revenue of 60,000 lire, but is not to be appropriated to Jesuitical purposes in towns where that order already possesses an establishment. From 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 in the status 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 "freedoin 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 Ancnsisnor to de cide whether the Scriptures are to ba suppressed altogether or not. The Austrian Correspo. ndenz 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, liguzEwsKr, has received a tongs of six months. Tbe Emancipation adds, that a similar measure will be taken with every Polish officer in the Belgian service. Lieut.-General CEAZAL has just been named sous chef of the general staff at Brussels. General CHAZAL is a Frenchmar, 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. DEMIST, 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 refugees whom recent events have brought into Switzerland, and whose passports are not en regle, to present themselves at the bureau of police, and state whether they demand an asylum, or are prepared to apply for travelling passports. Those who have been cited before the French tribunals, 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 desire to leave 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. 400 The Journal de Geneve announces a strike of working jewellers, on account of a misunderstanding with the masters. . ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, F"' "'— Orders were issued yesterday f rom each battalion for officers in command of companies and detachments to send qualify themselves for being in the names cf two recommended gunners fer each com pany, to attend the regimental school between gu . ar9s to appeinted non-comtmssioned officers, if found competent for that duty by education and steady conduct. a candidate ST. ALBAN'S DISIMANCHISEMENT.—The Bill brought forward by Sir G. Grey to disfranchise the borough of St. Alban's was yesterday printed. It is a very short Bill and the enacting part states, " That the borough of St. Al• ' ban's, in the county of Hertford, shall from and after th . passing of this Act cease to return any Members or Membe a r to serve in parliament." Mr. Brumley Moore is spoken of as for Birkenhead. Mr. Stickney, the town surveyor, has tendered his resignAtion.—.Bri9hton Guardian. FEBRUARY 19, 1852. Tlit-4? SHARE MARKETS ISTLITISEI Railvrays.

Russian, French, and Spanish were rather feeble. The English Funds have been rather firmer, though with scarcely anything doing. Consols were 97 to i, and upon a rumour that the Bank of England had lowered the rate of discount to 2 per cent., they became buyers at 97k. This statement appears to be prema ture, although it is highly probable that the measure will ere long be adopted, as loans upon Stock can be got in Lombard-street at about 1 per cent. per annum.
