While he undertook, for those whom he represented, to erect machinery, and to crush and amalgamate the quartz, ali the gold thus obtained was to be equally divided. In order that this beneficial contract might be car ried out without any delay, Sir HENRY purchased an engine and machinery in California, which he imme diately dispatched to the locality, but another unex pected obstacle arose ; when the engine was erected it was found that something more was wanted to ren der it effective. Before these could be procured the rainy season had set in with unusual severity, render ing the roads impassable, so that it was not until the latter end of March that the machinery could be got into working condition. _ _ _ By this time, however, a great change had taken place in this country. Public opinion had set in in favour of the company. Capital to almost any ex tent was available ; and those who bud formerly scoffed or hung back while any doubt existed as to its ultimate success, endeavoured to obtain a share in that which they had once industriously de preciated. It was on the arrival of Mr. DAviE.v, an intelligcnt and experienced person, acconi panied by a well selected body of practical miners—that Sir HENRY learned the improved posi tion of the Company which he represented—and ' that he was, therefore, in a position to carry out his operations on a scale of much greater magnitude, and that there was machinery in progress of very superior power. The mining property, too, had been placed upon a more satisfactory basis during the interval. A good and safe title could be obtained, while the Com pany with which he had entered into the provisional agreement were not exhibiting the zeal or activity he had anticipated, nor could he venture to place im plicit reliance, on their professions. lie, therefore, decided on independent action, and was speedily enabled to acquire possession of " the Dicksburg Mine," a properly offering extraordinary advantages, there being a water-mill erected thereon, the led(' exhibiting an apparently inexhaustible mass of auri ferous quartz, which on every trial yielded highly satisfactory results ; and also an ample supply of water power, with good sites for other mills, and an abundance of timber on the spot for all necessary erections. He entered on this property in July, and the re sult of his experience since that period has been of the most pleasing description. The tests already applied have been so highly satisfactory, that he de- term fined to work without any further delay. The engine and machinery dispatched last year have been forwarded to the mine, and steps taken for its erection, and it is in all human probability ere this, in profitable operation, —nay, more, it is by no means unlikely that soma of its produce is already on its way to this country. In addition to the Dicksburg Mine, Sir A daring enterprise, it must be admitted—that of surpassing those wonderful aqeouss achievements. Daring though the project is, it may be at once per ceived from the programme that it is seriously about to be attempted. At either extremity of the building there will be erected an enormous tower 256 feet high, having each at the summit a capacious reser voir. These reservoirs will supply an abundance of water fur the various fountains and cascades. At the commencement of the " display," starting from the Palace, the water will emerge from the arches of the highest terrace on the right and left of the grand central archway, tumbling through in a succession of cascades. Thence, as they descend, in place of glid ing away beneath, the currents will respectively leap sheer down, in a solid but transparent curve, over the lowest terrace—so that the visitors may pass under the glittering curtain as under that of a miniature Niagara. Subsequently, the two streams will tra verse the whole length of the principal approach, on either side dashing onwards in noisy rapids or cata racts ; and after replenishing a number of fountains, shaped like tazzas, will close their career in two enormous basins, each 380 feet in diameter, and each haying a pyramidal group of jets to the number of 600, the largest jet in the cluster throwing up water to the enormous height of 230 feet perpendicular. Scattered round these will be " dancing fountains," soaring to the height of 130 feet ; and beyond these sixteen others shooting up water 90 feet into the tin Well may the official prospectus of the prepara tions observe that " there is nothing of the kind at all approaching in magnificence the display of waterworks contemplated by the plans at this point." The gretd caul at Versailles, marvellous as they are, and unri valled as they have been hitherto justly considered, will scarcely regard as unworthy of comparison the pyramidal fountains and the subordinate jets and cas cades at Sydenham, for the supply of which 2,000 gallons per second will require to be put in requisi tion ! Besides the fountains already enumerated, there will be one of very considerable dimensions, into the vast basin of which water will flow round the edges in an enormous bell-shape—eight or nine others being distributed over the terraced gardens, sparkling among beds of the most brilliant-coloured . flowers, —flowers, the profusion of which may be estimated from the single item, among similar orders recently issued, for 50,000 roots of the scarlet geranium 1 Scattered among these fountains, and flowers, and cascades, and ter races, will be strange specimens of the monsters of geology, contrasted with statues carved out of the white marble of Carrara. Remembering all this, were we extravagant in talking about the garden of the Hesperides ? As to the Palace itself—the Palace we have hinted at as not less marvellous than that of ALADDIN - it promises to abound, like the gardens outside, with fountains and statuary, but still more with colossal sculpture and elaborate specimens of architecture. Conspicuous among the more celebrated curiosities enshrined under the crystal roof, it is to be hoped, may ultimately be numbered one no less renowned than CnEoraTua's Needle. A winter garden, comprising all kinds of rare exotics, will, of course, as at first in tended, be of all the most prominent, as well as the most delightful, of the many attractions. Foreign birds, of a plumage as brilliant even as the foreign vegetation, will be added to the splendours of the collection. Hardwares and textile fabrics, minerals and precious stones, will be displayed in profusion, with ;he most beautiful productions of Art, the most astonishing achievements of Science, and the most extraordinary products of Industry. Such are among a few of the internal embellishments of the second Pa lace of ALADDIN, in the modern garden of the llespe rides. ENRy has also taken a lease of the Carolina Mine situated near Placerville, on the Sacramento river, on very advantageous terms, which is also in operation at present. While Sir HENRY has thus been displaying the high qualities requisite for the judicious management of such an undertaking—acquiring for himself and the Company with which he is connected the respect and confidence of the inhabitants of the districts, the home Directors have not been idle. They have already dispatched, in May last, " an engine equal to fifty horse power, with crushing-mills and stamps of cor responding force, together with a water-wheel, pumps, and all suitable gear—the whole of the best work - manship, from the manufactory of Messrs. WEST and SJN, of St. Blazey. They have also contracted for some of " Baggs' patent quartz-crushing apparatus," an invention of the greatest importance, and which gives an almost unlimited power to its possessors. It Las indeed already accomplished more than had ever previously been even thought of. Cru , ,hing the material to a fine powder, and thus enabling the operators to separate the precious metal from the quartz with comparatively trifling difficulty or labour. These will be ready within a fortnight, and when on the spot 150 tons par diem may b - 1 crushed—we cannot venture to state the amount of gold that may be obtained therefrom. We may, however, once more cordially congratulate Were we not right, therefore, in our assertion tha there is now collecting together, in the immediate neighbourhood of London, almost under the shadow of its smoke, and within the sound of its roaring corn. merce, a variety of works at once beautiful and extra ordinary, such as will, in a few months hence, trans form the woodlands of Sydenham into the semblance of Fairyland ? And it is this region of enchantment which has roused the bile of Praise-God-B arebones, and excited the horror of Zeal-of-the-land-Busy, and called forth expressions of the sanctimonious indignation of our dear old friends the Sobbatarians! Itwas the announce ment of the probable cpening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays, which brought about the assemblage of some thousand individuals on Monday last, in the parochial school room of a Chapel of Ease in the Liverpool-road, a meeting presided over by the Re verend Master-of-Arts WILSON, the Vicar of Isling ton. According to the sentiments expressed by the majority of the speakers upon this occasion, we ought to lcok forward with dismay to the probable strolling upon some Sunday afternoon of a pour artizan, with his wife and cluster of little children, through the gardens of the Crystal Palace, at Sydeaham, as to a foul and most grievous desecration. Upon the same principle, there must surely always be upon the same days a sort of vegetable sin in the budding of a sweet-pea—a sort of insect culpa bility in the birth of a butterfly—a sort of zoological crime in the suckling of a lamb upon the meadows — a sort of infamy carried up into the skies in the war bling of a lark at daybreak—an evil in the spawning of a minnow, and au abomination in the very sparkle of a rivulet. If there be ill in the mere sight of such 'things on the LORD'S Day, sure there must—in lommon logic—be a threefold evil in the things themselves. Whit nonsense is this the Saints of the sao-called Sabbath are preaching to us in open day, vc:lth grave faces, as though nothing less than idiotcy pre veiled among the population ? People are not sue h dullards as to suppose, for en instant, that the awful and Holy LORD of the Universe can be dis pleased because the little creatures he has created in tl le palm of His hand like grains of dust, go out for .a while from their reeking cities upon the appoi ated day of rest to breathe the fresh air, and to walk among the green trees—as the Sacred Book even to Us us the Goy of Heaven himself was won't to do in tl le cool of evening in the garden of Paradise I Away :rather with that squalor of the intellect and abjec,,ne ss of the imagination, which are in themselves the most despicable of all possible desecrations of the Sunday— -away rather with that grovelling bigotry and narro if-minded fanaticism, which would shut for ever the eyt )s of the over-toiled and the under-paid from that glorio us scroll of Nature which the DIVINITY has lettere, I with flowers and written over with planets, and in which the very child can spell, with the most w, :nderful accuracy, the mystic truths of religion. It is not by shutting the labourer up con tinually betty :en the sordid walls of the conventiole that you can 1 lest instil into his heart the solemn and exquisite print iples of Christianity. Let him obtain, at least at into rvals, a glimpse of the beautiful uni verse in which he exists for a time but as an atom, and you will th e most effectually expand his intelli ence, purify his morality, and elevate his aspirations. all parties concerned on the arspicious prospect before them, and which promises to render the concern, notwithstanding its early trials and difficulties, one of the most remunerative ever brought under public notice. Peeryland is gradually collecting together its mar vole in the immediate vicinity of our vast and dingy metropolis. Within view of St. Paul's Cathedral — that is, upon a tolerably clear day when the gilded ball-and-cross can just twinkle through the smoke of London—there are now growing up a Garden and a Palace such as the world has seldom if ever seen the like of, except in the exquisite dreams of the imegina tion : a Palace like that of ALADDIN, and a Garden like that of the Hesperides. Fortunately, the inha bitants of this capital were enabled, in 1451, to wit ness the miracles of ingenuity which genius, aided by industry, was capable of calling forth upon a few of the green sods of Hyde Park—so that the remem brance of that extraordinary Exhibition relieves us from the fear that, in 1852, our allusions to what is being at this moment accomplished in the neighbour hood of Sy denham, may be derided as some empty and idle fanfaronade. The marvellous beauty of the Crystal Palace erected within a few weeks near Hyde Park Corner, is a sufficient guarantee that whatever may be seriously projected in regard to the scheme of its reconstruction, is at any rate within the limits of practicability ; and that, however improbable may be the grandeur and diversity of the proposed achieve ment, they will inevitably, and that, moreover, within the prescribed period, be beheld in their fullest reali z ition. We all of us believe this with the sense of a calm and implicit conviction. We believe it, because we remember what has already been achieved by Sir JOSEPH PAXTON, in that magic edifice where all the nations of the earth stored up for a while whatever Art could display of the Beautiful, or Science of the Marvellous. We believe it, because we call so very vividly to mind those wonderful perspectives of blue and yellow by which OWEN JONES eclipsed the most gorgeous corridors of the Alhambra I We believe it, because we have in recollection the mingled celerity and precision with which Sir CHARLES Fox caused to fell into their appointed places, as if in obedience to the wand of a magician, these thousands of girders, and millions of sashes, and miles of counter, and acres of glass, required in the building up of that fabric of iron and crystal. Assurances like these were needed, in order to convince us of the possibility of seeing at last effected what is spoken of as at this instant in the process of development in the midst of the sylvan glades and meadow scenery of Sydenhain. The external embellishments alone, promise to render the vicinity of the New Crystal Palace more remarkable for beauty than possibly even the most lovely spot that can now be found in Christendom. Immediately in front cf the principal fa fade of the edifice, we learn that there is to be constructed an Italian garden, extending over some forty acres, and having a breadth of one thousand six hundredteaces at end fifty feet, disposed in a series of terraces once superb and picturesque. Upon this portion of the enterprize alone, there is to be ex pended a sum of no less than 60,0001. sterling ! According to the plan sketched out by the master hand of Sir JOSEIPII P A XTON, the grounds are to be mapped out upon the same scale of proportions as that to be observed in the architectural arrangements. In illustration of this it, may be observed that every dimen sion will have a multiple of eight feet in the Garden as well as in the Palace, out of which will come har mony and grandeur in very exquisite combination The grandour may be conjectured from the circum stance of the principal approach and terrace being 96 Net wide, the majority of the others 48 feet, and none less than 24 f ee t. A ga in, the harmony may be hna gined fr om th e i ntent i on k ep t i n v i ew throughout by Sir JOSEPH PAXTON, that of so arranging the external d:•corationa that the ornate splendours of toe Italian Garden shall gradually merge into tee more homely and less artificial b eaut i es of the E ng li s h , an d th a t these again shall almost imperceptibly glide off into the more moderately-cultivat e d charms of the sur rounding landscape. Intermingling with the par terres and the shrubberies will be a gorgeous system of fountains, which, it is proposed, shall surpass the astonishingly lofty jets at St. Cloud, and the most glorious of the mythological groups spouting out their vast columns of water on fite-days at Versailles, The first general report of the Directors of the Anglo-Californian Gold-Mining Company, has been issued to the shareholders, and will be read at the first annual general meeting, which is appointed to take place on Friday next. It is a highly satisfactory document, explaining the various steps that have been Hien by the expedition under the command of Sir HENRY VERE HUNTLEY since their arrival at the scene of their future labours, and clearly pointing out the present position and prospects of the company. Many difficulties have necessarily occurred, but they have been succeaully encountered—and we hope ere long to be enabled to congratulate the Directors and share holders on reaping a golden harvest, the legitimate reward of their enterprize and perseverance. It will be in the recollection of our reader!, that this company was the first started in the United Kingdom for the purpose of bringing joint-stock en terpriz3 into operation in the gold fields of California. At first the prometers were treated with ridicule, and every effort was made to sneer down the undertaking. It required no ordinary nerve to bear up against the amount of direct vituperation, or, what was perhaps worse, the apathetic and cold-blooded indifference to which they were exposed. Distinct and positive charges were brought forward, and these were accom panied by " The whiiper'd hint—the shrug—th e hum or ha, These petty brands that calumny doth use," Many openly declared that the c oncern was l i ttle better than a deliberate swindle, while the more cha ritably disposed considered it a mere visionary sc h eme, and. opinion appeared to be divided as to whether the Directors should he classed among " the dupers" or "the duped." But there were men of unflinching determination engaged in the transaction. having satisfied them- Illves of the soundness and feasibility of the under taking, and having secured the services and co-ope ration of Sir HENRY VERE HUNTLEY, a gentleman of statio n an d character, they reso l ve d t o go on despite every impediment or obstruction. But a small proportio n of the capital was subscribed for, and a still smaller proportion paid up—for the 1* corvine" fraternity, who are so virtuously indignant at any managerial lapse, have no hesitation in disre garding their own positive promises to pay on the shares for which they make application, unless an immediate profit can be realized, The Directors, however, made the most of the means at their disposal, and dispatched Sir HENRY in March, 1851, sen di ng out also a steam-engine and crushing mills. On bis arrival, Sir HENRY found, that " great un certainty existed with reference to the tenure of m i n i ng property, and that . the titles of the claimants or possessors of quartz veins could not be relied on." Here was a new difficulty. If he attempted to enter into a treaty for the pur chase of a . mine, or a n y par . tiou of the auriferous soil, he might find, that not only the money paid, but all the early exertices of the con-ll:Any would be wasted and misapplied —a re sult which, in the then state of public cpinion in }>lgland, would have been fata l to the prospects of undertaking. He, therefore, exhib ited « t:alutary deciding rather to opera's on the gold-bear log quartz produced to Lim by ethers than to en deavour to obtain the meterial fn. himself'. While awaiting the arrival of his machinery dis patched from England—which, being sent via Cape Horn, was considerably delayed ea route—he di rected his attention to the selection of a favour able site on which to commence operations. Ile speedily entered into an arrangement with en American company in actual possession of a mine, by ; which it e-ras agreed that they should _ . THE MEETING Or PARLIAMENT.

Mayor 011ivant seconded the resolution. Mr. Lewin, although he did not o b j ect to a statue, would move an amendment, as he did not think the company ought to avail itself of the funds of others to honour to itself. The Chairman put the resolution to the meeting. and the whole of the hands in the room were held up in its favour, with the exception of Mr. Lewin, who did not press his motion, but voted against the resolution.

SUlClDE.—Yeaterday an inqu es t was taken by Mr W.Carter, the coroner, in the beard room of the new workhouse, Newington, on the body of Henry Farr, ageC 43, who destroyed himself as follows :—He was a art ' dew, living at 6, Jerusalem -gardens, Hackney, and gwa doing some work for aMr Johnson, in South-terrace, Gross vener-park, Islewington. On Saturday night, about 1 - o'clock, police constable Gibbs was on duty by these arouses, which are most of them unfinished, and he had directi ons to see that all the doors were closed. On coming to Na. 11 it was open, and on entering he discovered d. the He deceased lyf 0 on the floor, and apparently quite dea sprang - his rattle for assistance, and Sir Nott, a surgeon, came, who pro nounced life to be q uite extinct. It was then found that cord was passed round his neck, and the and was put over the door, and he supposed in struggling he had fallen down. He had twice before at tem p ted to commit suicide.

The jury, to most of whom the deceased was known, returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity." ATTEmPTED SUlClDE.—Considerable excitement has prevailed in the neighbourhood of Lincoln's Inn, in con sequence of a general rumour that a determined attempted suicide had been committed by a woman of the name of Mrs. Elizabeth Glover, aged 24 years, who resided at Boswell court, Carey-street, Lincoln's-inn -fields. One of the inmates living in the next room had her attention attracted by a strange noise in the adjoining apartment, which on entering she found the unfortunate creature had inflicted with a razor a gash in her throat of a most frightful description. An alarm was immediately raised, when she was conveyed to Victoria Ward, King's College Hospital, not the slightest hopes are entertained of her recovery. The rash act is sup posed to have been committed through a quarrel with her Husband, who is a coachman, and who bad lett her. MONEY AN CITY, Two o'Cr.oeß. The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 15,000 hales, of which 4,000 American and 500 Egyptian were taken on speculation. The market closed with an upward tendency, American and Surat were per lb. dearer. The sales com prised 10,000 Atnorican, 1,000 Pei nom and Marant am at 63d to 7+l, 1,500 Bahia at tif,id to id ; and 1,200 Egyptian at q-. 1 to Sid p:-r lb. Railway shares were firmer. The steamer Atlantic, from the United States, brings 382,000 dols. An arrival of 200,000 dollars from California had taken place at New York. Cot ton was firm, and foreign exchange was in demand. At the East India House special meeting of pro prietors to-day, the following resolution was carried, with one dissentient only :—" That the Court concur in the unanimous resolution of the Court of Directors, that, as a testimonial of gratitude with which the East India Company must ever remember that the glorious caner of the Duke of Wellington com menced in India, and that the consolidation of the British power there was weatly promoted by his brilliant achievements, a marble statue of that illus trious Commander bu placed in the General Court Resin." Tills is a course well befitting a great body deriv ing its wealth from commerce, and yet indebted for most of its grandeur to the political and military career of its governors and commanders-in-chief. The amount of bullion on IsJard the Lima and Ganges 'arrived yesterday was about 208,0001. The Turkish Loan business dots not improve upon further acquaintance. On the part of the contractors at Paris we have a very proper hint that it would be unwise to send to Constantinople for the firman, as this has never apparently been produced, because the onus rests with the Ambassador, Prince Kallimachi , who was alleged to have ample powers, special and general. That the contractors did not require a copy of the firman ere they undertook to raise the loan, is we think, to be regretted; but we must not judge after the fact, and it is possible no one would have originally thought of being more cautious. An Ambassador is a high personage supposed to pos sess to the fullest extent the confidence of his Govern ment, both as a man of, honour and ability; and to have doubted his instructions would have been per haps uncomplimentary. There is a delicate mode, however, of managing pecuniary as well as diplomatic negociations, and with proper tact the official copy of the firman might have been asked rather as a basis of operations than as a necessary confirmation of the Prince's authority. k\re:are now assured, in a letter from Messrs. Devaux, of Paris, that the Prince had both special and general authority, and awkward as it may be, the ex-ambassador will be constrained, if the loan is not ratified, to give to the world the fullest possible explanations. Even the disclosure of State secrets, if any such exists, would be justificatory, under the circumstances, but that we must remember the natural desire the Prince may have to return to his own country, and the risk he incurs if he op poses too strongly the powers that be. Lord Stratford, or, in his unlucky absence, Colonel Rose, may properly be called upon to inter fere in protection of the subscribers to this loan, because its non-ratification is apparently grounded upon diplomatic considerations, and the loan was brought forward by the Ambassador of Turkey. In another sense, however, we can only act a secondary part to the French, the contract being taken in their metropolis. The Turkish Consul-General in London requests a suspension of judgment in the affair until the explanations of the Turkish Government are given, but however desirable it my be to have these, and however e xc ulpat o ry they may prove, the most important point canno t in the least be altered by it, viz. the obligati on o f T ur k e y t o i n d e mnify the sub scribers to the lore, and punish its own officials, if culpable, hereafter.

(From the IWetnckester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Oct. 26.—1 n this market, the impulse given to prices by the very extensive operations of last week has been felt today in the still upward tendency of yarns in geLetal, tu.d of ::,any descriptions of goods. This is especially seen in the finer yarns suit able for home manufacture, in cop twist and pin-cops of the medium numbers, and in 40's reeled mule. The de.. mand for China is increasing the value of water twist; and it may be stated generally that warps, from 24's up wards, and also reeled mule twist, are dearer. Goods are at least firm at last week's advance, which was so considerable on India goods in particular. The makers of domstics, T cloths, rid long cloths, are getting rid of stock hardening :in their terms, and in deed getting en advance with iminished trouble. The day's transactions fall a good deal short of those of this day week, as indeed they necessarily must, because the engagements then entered into tie up tae heads of pro prietorr. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—A fe:r business continues to La done in silk manufactured goods, and at more remunerating prices than have lataly tined. Stocks on hand continue very light. Thrown Silks : The market is sti'l influenced by foreign orders, the export of silk this year having been larger then pre viotnly known. The home merket up to the present Cm° has taken but spvingly ; but as stocks of throwns are understood to La very low in the hands of err manu facturers, a resumption of purchases is shortly expected to make preparation for the spring trade. Raw Silk : At the publ..c sales held in London last week a fair bu siness was transact:d: the pees actaely obtained, for both Bangals and Chinas, were about those ruling pre viously to the sale. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY. -- The market to-day hes not been quite so good as last week, perhaps on ac count of the roughness end wetness of the weather; 001 there have bean inquities in the Cloth Ile'l for pilot cloths, and heavy goods generally, for overcoat cloths and trouseringsi. Trade in the warehouses duting th e week has been flat. ROCHDALE, MONDLY.—We have had another good market to-day, but the manufacturers complain at the low prices they are obliged to take for their pieces. There has been a fair business doing in wool, at pt ices much the same as those of last week. Coarse or low priced wool is scarce at present. DAETII OF THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LlFE.—Vincent Geo. Dowling, Eiiq , the editor of " Bell's Life in London," died at his residence, Kilbuld, on the instant, in the 67th year of his age. DI F,TEOPMATAN FREE LIBRARIES.—On Monday a preliminary meeting of gentlemen connected with the great borough of Marylebon , , wrs held at the house of Mr. Oliveirr, M.P., at the requisition of that gentleman, the object being the establ!st ment of a free lib rr y in the borough tor the be nefit of the working-c! on a plan r:mil-^ to those which have already lx en to sucessfolly open: d in Mr iche3ter rind Liverpcol.
