This Company is formed for working the gold minerals in Aus tralia, by an approved patented process, which will enable the Company to extract a larger quantity of gold from a given quantity of the ore than by any other known method now in operation, and at a saving of two-thirds the present expense, both in labour and Machinery. This invention has been satisfactorily demonstrated, and is pro• tested by her 31ajatya Royal Letters Patent, the Company having secured all the rights and privileges for working, and the agency for negotiating the same in Australia. The Company do not intend to undertake mining operations, or to purchase land in the Colony, unless some most favourable opportu nity shall present itself; and then only after the consent of the shareholders has been obtained The organization of the mineral department will be placed under the able superintendence of that eminent metallurgist and geologist, Thomas Rowlandson, Eac/., C.E., F.G.S., whose abilities and prac tical knowledge in all matters connected with mining and refining are well known. An agent has already been dispatched by the Diuliva, which railed en the 9th Fehruary for Melbourne, with powers to make the pre liminary arrangements. The Company intend purchasing from mining convenes and In dividuals the auriferous ores; as also to undertake the reduction of ores for any parties by the patent process, on terms mutually to be agreed upon. It is arranged to pay for the patent right and other contracts of the Company by an allotment of shares, and permission will be re served to increase the capital if found necessary. Under these circumstances this Company is formed, not with wild anticipations of boundless wealth, but on reasonable calculations of probable results, and remunerative profits. With these advantages, which are self-evident, together with the plan on which the Company will be carried out, under the manage ment of a responsible and competent board in London, every doubt ful contingency will be avoided, and the success of the pre-ent Coin- PRIV established on a profitable and permanent basis, which cannot fail to insure large dividends to the shareholders. The Company are making arrangements for obtaining the super intending agency of one of the most responsible mercantile Louses in the colony. Applications for Shares can be made, on or before the 6th of April in the Company's printed form, which, with prospectuses, may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street ; or of Messrs Field, Son, and Wood, IVarmord-court, Throgmetton-street, Brokers to the Company; or to Messrs.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. FOREIGN W00L. , --LEEDS, APRIL 2.—We have no change to report iu this on the colonial branch of the wool trade during the past week. ENGLISH WOOL, LEEDS, APRIL 2.—There is not 'any variation of moment this week in the demand for combing wools. The manufacturers complain of the disproportion of prices of yarns and good compared with those of wool, and therefore limit their purchases to a supply of their require ments for ithmediate use. LIVERPOOL WOOL,. APRIL I.—Business is still quiet, but we have on the whole rather more inquiry. Imports the past week consist of 271 Egyptian, 12 Constantinople, 34 Trieste, 129 Beirut, 376 East India, 2,370 Alpaca. IlitantoßP, Aram I.—Wool—There is evidently a poor show of combing wools now in the market, and an equal slackness in the wants of the spinners, who are generally doing as little as they can carry on with. The supply in the country dealers and growers' hands is held for prices far too high for this market. Yarns—The stoppage of machinery still con tinues ; the yarn trade was never so disjointed as at pre sent. Pieces—There is a great falling off in the quantity of goods making, prices being so low, the sales making are gene rally in plain cloths and mixtures. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, APRIL I.—There has been but a limited business in this market since Tuesday, but the more marked impression which the America's advices from the trans- Atlantic states had produced on the cotton market at Liver pool has led to rather more depression, and price. are again somewhat weaker. For light T cloths and printing cloths there is a good business, and prices are somewhat firmer than in clothe generally. In yarns the reduction is fully IA d per lb since this day week, and but a limited business is doing. The India news is considered less favourable than before, owing to the adverse exchanges, but the private letters of merchants have not yet come to hand. COAL. MARKET. —YESTERDAY.

The scene as the two cutters dashed through the water was very striking. There were some dozen Citizen steamers completely crowded, and as they followed in the wake of the boats they seemed like a moving mountain of human beings. The left bank of the river was no less thronged with horsemen, and as they splashed through the rising tide, which, owing to the direction of the wind etas unusually high to-day, many of them became unseated, while others lost their hats, or became submerged in the river. Most of the rowing clubs attached to the Thames were out in their full colours; and we regret to state that the Leander cutter was capsized just below the railway bridge which crosses the river near Mortlake; whether any of the crew were lost we could not ascertain, but we hope and believe not. On the whole the course was well kept, but there was one universal complaint as to the overloading of the steam-boats. though it should not be forgotten by those who grumble at the circumstance, that the success of these aquatic sports depends in a great measure upon a fall attendance of the public, and no doubt as this healthy and harmless amusement is yearly obtaining an increase of votaries, the future accommo dation will be upon a corresponding scale. At the close of the match the men rested upon their oars for a few moments to acknowledge the applause that was bestowed on them, and then swinging round returned to Putney, where they afterwards dined together. Altogether, it certainly was a very pleasing spectacle, and the fineness of the weather-with the fulness of the' tide, which overflowed the banks of the river, and flooded the-surrounding mea dows, contributed vastly to the enjoyment of the most popular and attractive amateur boat race we have ever had the good fortune to witness. At Mortlake the attendance was far more numerous and fashionable than at Putney, and though the conclusion of the match considerably reduced the flow of animal spirits which had previously characterised the Cambridge party, the festivities of the day were kept up with great hilarity until the evening. GRAND PROMENADE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.-(THIS DAY.) The committee for the preservation of the Crystal Palace, determined to show the capabilities, to the fullest extent, for the recreation and amusement of the public, threw it open this afternoon as a grand promenade. A little before two o'clock the six bands of the Househod Brigade, and of the Royal Artillery assembled in the centre of the transept, &c. As the clock struck two the Royal Artillery struck up one of Streik's marches, and pro ceeding down the centre aisle took up its position in the east gallery; the First Lite Guards' band followed, taking up its station on the north side of the west nave; the 2d Life Guards and the Scotch Fusiliers proceeded to the south and nort side of the east nave; the Grenadier Guards to the south side of the western nave, while the Royal Horse Guards and the Coldstream Guards' bands remained under th© south and north transept, where, during the remainder of the day they continued to entertain the assembled multitude with se lections from favourite composers. The building soon filled rapidly, and towards four o'clock it reminded us of the busiest days of the five shilling period. The crowd of promenaders in the centre was as numerous, and of as fashionable an ap pearance, as we ever remember seeing in the building, while the space under the transept was so crowded that locomotion was utterly impossible. Considering that the majority of the bands were placed on the ground floor, surrounded by dense crowds, and that no preparation had been made to place them in the best position, it would be unfair to judge of the acoustic properties of the building from the present experiment merely. Petitions were placed in different parts of the building praying for the retention of the edifice, and we have no doubt that a groat majority of those who visited the building to-day will be the most strenuous opponents to its removal. It is difficult to judge of numbers when scattered over so large an area as the Crystal Palace, but we have no doubt that before four o'clock at least 30,000 persona had entered the building, and when we left at that hour the cry was still " They come, they come." The present experiment has been so thorougly success ful that we have no doubt it will be repeated at the earliest opportunity. MJDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY.

Vt 927:titian+ OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE ROWING MATCH. (THIS DAY.) (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) The great aquatic contest between the students of Oxford and Cambridge came off to-day under the MOW favourable circumstances. The weather was propitious, the tide good, and the wind all that could be desired. The race was appointed to take place between Putney and Mortlake. a di s t ance of about four m il es and a half, the stetting poi nt b e i ng Putney-bridge. Of cou r s e , on such a fine, sunshi n y d ay, with so great an ou t d o or attraction in store, L on d on poured forth its hun d re ds o f citizens to the neighb our i ng. suburb. There was , how ever, not so great an assem b lage as might have b ee n ea pected, but this was pr o b a bl y owing to the matc h coming off on a Saturday, when every one knows Londoners have little time to devote to. pleasure. The South-Western Railway brought a considerable number of spectators to Putney and Mortlake by a special train, which left the Waterloo station at twelve o'clock, but the great ma jority reached those places by the aid of Old Father Thames. More than half-a dozen of the Citizen steam boats brought from town full cargoes of anxious sight seers. Two of them were specially engaged by Messrs. Searle and Son, to enable their friends and subscribers to follow the match. There were also several other steamers' which . virtNtlitatt - Oki-lure a 'patronage. The small craft upon the river was rather limited. Notwithstanding, however, the large muster of people, there was a want of animation about the scene, which showed that these sports on the Thames are not so fashionable as in times gone by. The long wooden stand has given place to willow plantations, and the ta vern, with its spacious and commodious rooms over looking the river, and once so thronged on proofshut of ti the deoliae of aquatic andPt untenanted, damp, these dreary. occasions, contests, as an amusement to the higher classes, was to be found in the almost entire absence of the fair sex. We should say that the sons of the Isis and the Cam composed a goodly portion of the the is r crowd, judging from the number who wore the colours of the contending parties. The colour of the Oxford men was dark blue, and that of the Cambridge men light blue. Many of them were mounted on horseback, and endeavoured to keep up with the race along the banks of the river—an attempt which could scarcely be successful, owing to the rough state of the pathway and the advance of the tide. The start was fixed for half-past ono o'clock, as it would be high water at Putney at half-past two, but it did not take place until eleven minutes before two. All admitted that better or more equally matched crews could not have been selected, and they were both in excellent training. They were all fine, active men, in prime condition for the work, and weighed on the average about eleven stone each. The crews consisted of the following gentlemen: — OXFORD—I, Prescott; 2, Greenhall; 3, King; 4, Buller; 5, Denne; 6, Houghton; 7, Nynd; 8, Chittey; and the coxswain. CAMBRIDGE. -1, H. E. Tukey; 2, H. Brandt; 3, J. Shaw; 4, B. B. Foord; 5, E. Hawley; 6, W. S. Long more; 7, J. W. Sirron; 8, .1 -) . B. Corker. C. Crosse (coxswain). Every one spoke in high terms of their outriggers, which are of very beautiful construction. They were both built by Messrs. Searle and Son, whose eminence in this particular branch of art is well knowe. The Cambridge boat is 62 feet in length, and the Oxford one 63 feet, both being about two feet three inches in breadth. Both crews entered their boats opposite the premises of Messrs. Searle amidst encouraging cheers, and rowed smartly to the bridge, where they took up their several positions. Yesterday decidedly the Oxford men were the favourites, but less certainty existed as to their superior merits to-day, it being thought that the wind would favour their opponents in consequence of a pecu liar way in which they handled their oars. It is but right, however, to state that no two t artlet; could agree on the probable prospects of either of the antagonists. There was very little betting, and what did take place was entered into with much hesitation and no spirit. As we have already mentioned, the contest com menced at eleven minutes to two. The start was excellent. For a few hundred yards they kept abreast, but the Oxford men shot gradually ahead, and they were nearly a full boat's length be fore the Cambridge men on reaching the end of the Bishop's grounds. Nor did they lose their u contrary, they gained an addi tional they proceeded, and when they n the :he river the length of a boat and a turned arl e fadvantagewasbend ground; abo n on nthe of distance that separated them. At Putney it was generally supposed that the Cambridge men purposely kept behind, and would, before the raoe termieated, get up their steam, and slyly advance before their competitors; but the result will show how far that supposition was justified. (FROM ANOTHER REPORTER.) The annual aquatic contest between the Oxford and Cambridge Cubs came off this afternoon upon the ac customed spot above Putney -bridge. The day was fine, though piercing cold, the wind blowing from the south east, and the company was more than usually numerous. Considerable interest was attached to the match, be causen up to thei r wor k, a nd it was we -- understood that the two clubs wore remarkably it was generally uni versally predicted beforehand that the contest would be a close and severe one. The betting, therefore, was about even, but the Oxford crew appeared to have the most supporters, and the odds o f 5 to 4 were ta k e n about them with spirit and freedom. Th e respective managers on both sides bad taken car e to c h arter seve ral of the Citizen Citizen boats, and sometime before twelve o'clock the presented river beyond Westminster-b r id ge a lively and animated aspect. Rowing boats, from the aristocratic eight-oar down to the dingy punt of the coalwhipper, water, while here and there was an overcrowded steam er , f urn i s h e d with the dotted the surface of the colours of the party to which the passengers belonged, and a somewhat soisy brass band, whose performances were observed to be more distinguished for vigour than musical precision or delicacy of taste. Of course, " cigars and Cognac, relieved with occasional draughts rleof bottled stout an d bitter beer, was t h e o r der of the day; and each steamer contained as j ov i a l a s e t of fel lows as ever figured at a classi ca l exam i na ti o n or pre stthoidoeekrdeaandtovweannedteacigtieermaotfiehafekrsinead sporting in vitati f o e n et , iv f e o l r . wa W rd e ed e t u o rs u e s iv b e y s and Sons, and left Stangate shortly after the clock struck twelve in the Citizen boat " Haberdasher," surrounded by a motley group of gay Cambridgedivision, who sported gloried in neat cravats of i lightrks of the rosettes set tes o r the same pleasing colour. The Journey up the river was done in capital style, no stoppages occur i ng to ruffle young brilliant e the tempers of the fashionable cargo, though now and then a cockney sculler would persist in getting in the track of the vessel, giving rise to tremendous shouts of " Ease her," " Stop her, on the part of the call-boy, and terrible anathemas on the part of the University men. In this way Putney was soon reached, where the scene was all life and animation. The little town was completely choked with visitors, and we were not dis. appointed to find that h t ere was a tolerably good sprinkling of the fair sex present, because they always lend a charm to these festivals, which they otherwise would not possess. There were numerous equestrians cantering up and down_ on the b an k s o n either side of the river , and the Bun having approached his meridian: he shone forth gloriously, adding vastly to the cheerfulness of the surrounding Prospect. The first gun fired preparatory to the starting went bang! bang! about five minutes before two, and in another second the starting shot was fired, :amidst a roar of " They're off , they ft! off The bet • ting was even at starting, with here and there a stray offer to lay 5 to 4 bgfallet Cambridge, but im mediately after the start the odds came to 2 to 1 on Oxford, and as Oxford came . round the b en d a b ove Putney, a clear length adieu' o their opponent, the odds advanced to 4to 1. The style of rowing on both sides was highly scientific, and displayed both the "skill and dexterity w hich Dibdin sing s about. It was, of course, much admired, but the steering of the Cambridge boat was pron ounced to be perfection itself. After the boats had passed Ilammersinitb, the Oxford men, however, were evide nt l y the most practised pullers, and they kept the __ lead from th e star t to the finish, passing under Ha mmersmith-bridge nearly two lengths a-head, ea and gradually increasing the distance until they won in a The nter (to use a tur f phrase) by a dozen le n g th .pace w as god throughout, the entire dist ance of fou r miles r in twe ty and a quarter! being got half Ove less thann-th-ono minutes, being three minutes and atime to say that e occu pied last year.

According to accounts of the 17th inst. from Constan tinople, it appears that the differences which have existed for some months past between the Porte and the Vice roy of EGYPT have latterly assumed a degree of gravity which makes a speedy rupture almost inevitable. The last replies of ABBAS PACIIA, which were couched in very unconciliating terms, have raised the discontent of the Imperial Government to the highest pitch. By an express order of the SULTAN, the Council ,of Ministers tell extraordinary sittings three days consecutively to de liberate on the affair, and it was unanimously decided that no fresh concession could be made by the Turkish Government, and that Asses Pecus must be immediately compelled to conform himself in all points to the orders of the SULTAN. The Council was, however, of opinion that a last attempt at conciliation should be made, before having recourse to any ex treme measures. Sir STRA.TFOR D CANNING continued, it is said, to espouse warmly the cause of ABBAS PACHA., but his efforts were unavailing. Itv DE TITOFF, the Russian Ambassador, was about to quit Constantinople for Naples, on leave of absence.

We have also stated that, according to the new arrangements, the clerks of the navy are to have a superior footing to that which they now enjoy —that they are to have half-pay when unemployed, and their full pay is to be slightly increased. With these changes, a new system is to be adopted of keeping ship's accounts, and a Board of Officers have as sembled at the Admiralty, consisting of Captain Milne, one of the Lords, Mr. Grant, Comptroller of the Vic tualling Board, and three paymasters and pursers, to take into consideration the best manner of placing all the different accounts now kept on board a man-of war, so as to place them all under the direction of t he paymaster.

The report detailed the whole of the pro ceedings relative to the late tenders, and the award of the contract to their competitors, the Peninsular and Oriental Company. The unanimous feeling was that the conduct of Sir Charles Wood and of other members of the late Govern ment in the negotiation was extremely reprehensible, and that in the face of the recommendations of the committee appointed to investigate the subject of communication with India, the Eastern Steam Company had not been fairly treated. The report also showed the saving effected to the country by the lower terms upon which the Peninsular and Griental Company had been compelled to take the contract, owing to the introduction of competition, and alluded in strong language to the partiality exhibited in the decision arrived at. The whole question was discussed with much animation, and the recommendation of the directors that the company should not be broken uP, but that it shou'd maintain the privileges afforded by its charter, with the view of ultimately attaining its most important objects, was carried without a dissentient voice. The great economy exercised in management, and the arduous exertions of the directors, elicited general approval. Before the close of the proceedings special resolutions were passed embodying these opinions, as well as one describing the necessity of a full in quiry respecting the manner in which the tenders made by , the Eastern Steam Company had been dealt with. In an swer to questions it was stated that the directors have re ceived an intimation that one of their colleagues is prepared to lay befo:e them a scheme through which they will be en abled to carry out such a service as has been contemplated. When this shall have been matured the shareholders will be called tegether to give it their consideration. The following paragraph from the report notices the precipitancy with which the late contract was concluded, and also alludes to the present financial position of the company : " Your directors feel that they cannot conclude without drawing attention to the very unusual and remarkable pre cipitancy with which the question of the tenders was dis posed of. On the 21st February, the late Government re signed office. On the afternoon of the 26th the tenders were delivered pursuant to notice. The Ministers remained at their offices, it is understood, until the close of th e 26 t h Febrnary, and on the following day, the 27th, the present Government was formally installed in office. The tenders in question must, therefore, have been received, investigated as to their respective merits, and reported upon by the Admi ralty, and adjudicated after consideration at the Tre asury , in the few hours which intervened between their delivery on the 26th, and the formal relinquishment of office by the members of the late Government on the 27th of Feb ruary. Your directors believe these facts, inconsistent as they are with all the deliberation previously given to the subject, and the greatness of the consideration involved in it, to be quite unprecedented ; and coupling them with the evident disparagement of the terms of their tenders con tained in the Admiralty report, they submit them for the consideration of the proprietors and the public at large, strongly impressed with the conviction that the public in terests demand a clear explanatory justification of the cir cumstances from those upon whom the responsibility now rests, of having committed to the care and keeping of one single body the exclusive charge of the important ex tended mail communications and steam traffic of this country, with its eastern and Australian dependencies, for a further prolonged period of eight years, in violation of a policy apparent on the face of it, and of recorded resolu tions of a Select Committee of the House of Commons, specially appointed, with the concurrence of the late Government, and to which the main agents of this pro ceeding were approving parties, with the express object of defining the footing upon which such communications should be hereafter placed. A statement of account, brought down to this date, shows a balance of 2,1841. at the disposal of the company, after payment of every demand of an ordinary character. The only claims of any amount still unsatisfied are those st, hich may be considered as coming under the head of compensation for professional and other services connected with the preparation of engineering details and office arrangements. In conclusion, your directors cannot but express their opinion that, considering the important public object for the attainment of which the company was incorporated, and for which a charter limiting the liability of the shareholders has been obtained, the wide field of enterprise which that charter opens, and the probable large increase of traffic with the East that muat result from the completion of a railway across the Isthmus of Suez, it would be highly inexpedient to abandon the undertaking notwithstanding the unfavourable position is which the company has been placed by the decision of the late Government. They would, therefore, request a continuance of the confidence of their shareholders, during such further period as may be necessary to enable them to submit for their approval a project now under consideration, for the prosecu tion of the undertaking on such a footing as will secure the attainment of its most important objects." Annexed are the principal resolutions:— " Resolved,—That this meeting most cordially approve of and adopt the report now read, and the shareholders request the Court of Directors will continue their exertions on behalf of the company, with a view to effecting such arrangements (or the prosecution of the undertaking as may secure the attainment of its most important objects. " That it appears to this meeting that the circumstances under which the contracts for the India, China, and Aus tralia mail service were allotted require the grave considera tion of the public, and the directors are earnestly requested to use every effort to cause such circumstances to be thoroughly investigated."
