GOLD 1111N1A GIN lel ORLI. -0.--_ In the statement prepared by Mr. Smyth, the I S , ,cretary of Mines for the colony of Victoria, to accompany the objects furnished by that depart ment to the Paris Exhibition of the present year, after devoting a considerable space, but no more than they deserve, to the operators of the Port Phillip Colonial and Gold Mining Company, he calls the attention of all who are interested in Quartz Mines to the detailed account furnished by Mr. Bland, on the part of the company, as showing what can be accomplished by good management and the use of well-devised appliances. " The usual course pursued (continues Mr. S nyth) when a rich vein is discovered by those who are in haste to make money is to form a company, and to put machinery on the ground at a great cost, and to crush enough of the rich quartz to give notoriety to the mine. The original proprietors sell out when this is accom plished, and the property is left in many cases in the hands of men who are not well acquainted with mining. After a time the reef is probably lost, the machinery comes to a stand-still, and the adven ture is abandoned. The proper and honest course is to test the vein, to raise a sufficient quantity of quartz to ascertain the probable yield of gold from it, before incurring the expense of erecting crushing mills." Now the teat just recommended may be easily applied, and with very great accuracy too, by any one of experience ; and the large body of the public hero at home do not know, or arc apt to for get, how a small quantity of gold pays for the cost of raising and crushing the quartz. The expendi ture for that purpose, together with the cost of management, from an average size reef—say four to five feet thick, will be about 13s. per ton, at 300 to 400 feet from the surface. The pennyweight (dwts.) of gold stands in miners' estimation is equi valent to four shillings in money, and therefore 31 dwts. will represent the cost of obtaining the desired metal. But Ito quote again from the official state ment)—" From returns made by the mining sur veyors and mining registrars of the yield of gold from parcels of quartz crushed during a period of seven years (from 1859 to 1865) it appears that 3,110,328 tons have yielded au average of 12 dwts. 6,375 grs. of gold per ton"—that is in money (say 121 grs. for easy calculation) 495. per ton. Bat a pamphlet now before us gives a very plain estimate, showing that a return of only 7 dwts. per ton, or 285., would yield a clear profit of 50 per cent. per annum, on an establishment founded at an outlay of £25,000, even though so large a proportion of the returns as £10,900 were set aside for contin gencies and accidents, &c. The wonder is, then, that more capital has not found its way out to be thus profitably employed in the Australian mines. Satisfactory methods of accounting for the singu lar facts are given by Mr. Kitto in the pamphlet just mentioned, entitled 'The Gold Mines of Victoria." This gentleman is a Government min ing surveyor, now on leave of absence to this country, who from his position and experience is enabled to support his facts and arguments by the necessary statistics gathered from the various de partments of the Victorian Government and from other sources. He avows that the purpose of his labours is to prove that au immense field is open for the safe investment of capital in the Australian gold mines; and an additional voucher for the sincerity of his convictions is that his pages are free from any liking to particular localities, or companies, or modes of operating. His official duties must have made him thoroughly acquainted with his subject, and all who are interested in that subject will joyfully refer to his well-arranged information and lucid corollaries. Setting aside the earlier years of the history of gold mining in Australia, Mr. Kitto lays himself out to impress on the reader that the part of the capitalist to devote himself to that branch of the treatment of the gold districts, which is now evident will become a permanent industry—that is, quartz mining, in which such rapid progress has been made that it is reduced almost to a science, under the laws of which an experienced mining engineer can not fail to produce results satisfactorily to his em ployers. Alluvial mining, at first thought to be the only course that could be prosecuted with suc cess, is on the other hand likely to decline ; the rather that the doctrine laid down by theorists, and even confirmed by a commission specially appointed to report on the matter—viz., that gold would not be found in remunerative quantities beyond a depth of forty or sixty feet—has been utterly scattered to the winds by one continuous series of results from deep mining, establishing that if the gold does not increase with depth it certainly does not decrease. Mr. Kitto gives a selection from the returns of va rious mines, showing the large profits accruing from quartz brought up from depths of from 600 to 200 feet ; and the richest gold mine in California we learn i 51,200 feet in perpendicular descent from the surface, and probably 300 feet below the ocean. Thequestion may in fact be considered as completely disposed of, and the stride taken by quartz mining is seen at once when we find that it now produced nearly one-third of the whole amount of gold fur nished by Victoria during the last year, 1866. With all this, Mr. Kitto tells us, failures will arise, some times from a wrong selection of ground ; secondly, from insufficient capital to carry on the work when commenced; and thirdly, from the unscientific manner in which the operations may be carried out. The instances of mismanagement adduced are openly alleged and supported by official corrobora tion, so that full credit may be given them. Thus in the Wattle Gully Company, of whose mining establishment our author was himself the manager, the original subscription capital was insufficient to meet a time of financial difficulty, the directors refused to make further call, and the property was sold for a song. However, many miners have since made small fortunes from the Wattle Gully pro perty, and when Mr. Kitto left Victoria, in April of the present year, the mine was yielding in the aggregate nearly 400 ounces of gold weekly. Again, at a meeting of the Charlton Company at Ballarat, in December, 1866, a shareholder wanted to know why one of the drives, after travelling about to all points of the compass, a distance of 300 feet, passed at least within ten feet of the shaft? A direc tor replied that the drive was a mistake, arising from the want of a compass to guide the mining manager, and on being asked why a compass was not provided, said the company could not afford one. Another remarkable instance is that of the Comet Company (Bendigo), in which, through mismanagement, the mine was nearly closed. The shares were absolutely unsaleable when Mr. R. Schlesinger undertook the legal management, and by employing experienced men has within two years brought the concern to pay over 39 per cent. per annum, with prospects of extraordinary future returns, as a very large expenditure has arisen out of purely opening work. With few exceptions, indeed such is Mr. Ditto's opinion, the quartz mines of Victoria are not well managed, and yet the re sult of mining in the quartz reefs is, in the aggre gate, infinitely better than from the alluvial workings.

You are all aware that in 1860 Mr. Gladstone succeeded in passing an Act of Parliament, by ono provision of which it was placed in the power of every shopkeeper to retail Wines. Whatever may have boon the motive of this policy, there can bo no dispute about its operation. It Was direet in terference with the trade of the Licensed Victuallers, the most highly taxed body of traders in the Kingdom, and an invitation to other bodies to compete with them for the profits of their own proper and legitimate business. The Grocers were not slow to avail themselves of the new field thus thrown open to them, and have cultivated it withan assiduity which compels the Licensed Victuallers to consider how they may best protect and indemnify themselves. The result of the deliberations of many members of the Trade on the subject has been a resolution to meet the rivalry of the Grocers in tho sale of Wine by embarking in the sale of Tea. • An Association has accordingly been formed for this purpose, which —strong by its connexion with gentlemen of long residence in China, and large experience as tea masters —can undertake to dispense with intermediate profits, and to supply tea at a lower price than the pur chasing retail Grocers pay. The benefits of this project will bo by no means confined to the Licensed Victuallers ; it will bo an especial boon to the poor, who are now paying an exorbitant price to the Grocers for an article on the sale of which these rely for their largest profits. The Tea supplied by the " LICENSED VICTUAL LERS' TEA ASSOCIATION" will be packed in quan tities of 11b., jib., and It will be obtained only from the Association, which will also take upon itself to pay for the licences necessary for its sale. A list of Agents already appointed will bo published in a few days.

SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, Scc. Admiralty, 26th July, 1867. The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY hereby give notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, for the present year, be as follows : Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21 years of age, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the eementary prin ciples and practices thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane trigonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marine Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) 2,500 French 5OO Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography and History No candidate will bo admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. The candidates who may be selected will bo treated, while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d. per day for six days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from theii homes, either at the school or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September. The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 23d September and three following days.

Their Lordships reserve to themselves the power, when the Tenders are opened, of contracting either for the whole or for such part thereof only as they may deem fit, or for a greater quantity, or of not contracting for any, a n d a l so an un limited power of selection in accepting the Tenders. Every Tender must specify the name of the Person by whom the Meat is intended to bo ouxed, the Brand of the Meat, and the place of cure. Tenders for Pork of the cure of the United States of America will not be admitted. Persons tendering for more than ono Port must give a separate Tender for each Port.

Mr. GRANT DUFF, M.P., took the chair in the Economic Section. In his address he said that there never was a time when it was so necessary to popu larise the science of political economy as now. Alarmists were saying that one of the results of re form via be that many matters which were consi dered settled will be re-opened, that Protection will again raise her head, and that the ghosts of old fal lacies will come back to gibber •in the House of Commons. lie (Mr. G. Duff) was one of those who think such fears wildly exaggerated ; but the mere possibility of our people lapsing into heresies such as those which have seduced men of our race in America and Australia should warn us to diffuse far and wide the broad results of economic science. Having touched upon the subject of educational and vital statistics, and pointed out the advantages that had arisen from the study, Mr. G. Duff concluded by saying that those who overrated statistics were almost as mischievous as those whose reckless abuse gave point to the sneer that nothing was so frlse as figures except facts—Rigbys of political life, who manipulate their figures for controversial suc cess. A man who deals with statistics in the spirit of the saying " So much the worse for facts," can make them prove anything ; but no saying can be further from the temper of the statistician. A spirit resigned to collect one by one the stones of a temple which his successor may build up is the mark of the true student of science. The committee reported in favour of a uniform system of weights and measures. It was agreed that the monetary convention of France, Austria, Belgium, and Switzerland was a great step in the right direction The greatest interest was manifested iu the section of Geography and Ethnology, in which Sir Samuel Baker, the African traveller, presided. In opening the proceedings of the section, Sir Samuel, after dwelling on the importance of geography as neces sary to almost every other science, and tracing the history of discovery, showed its intimate connection with the extension of civilisation and Christianity. Referring to Livingstone, of whom for twelve months no tidings had been received, Sir Samuel Baker de clared his belief that he was dead. The natives in the interior of Africa, unlike Europeans, were scientific liars; they will never tell such absurd lies as to declare their masters dead to excuse their leav ing. They would have feigned sickness or some other excuse, for they would know he might become a witness against them. It would require an extremity of moral courage they did not possess to say he was dead if lie was not. lie was obliged, like Dr. Kirk, to believe Livingstone had been murdered, and as his fellow-traveller he could only exclaim, " Peace to his memory." lie could not but praise the Go vernment for sending an expedition to ascertain the truth. Livingstone's great qualifications were his patience and endurance. In the discussion which ensued Sir Roderick Murchison said he believed Livingstone was possibly, if not probably, alive, and he would never go into mourning fur him upon the testimony of such convicted liars.

The special department of Biology, conee,led to anthropologists at Nottingham, has been withdrawn. The members therefore refused to read the papers. they will probably hold separate meetings as a sort of protest against the association. In the Mathematical and Physical Science Sec tion, Mr. Glaisher read a paper on luminous meteors. Simultaneous observations made at Sidmou th and Cardiff showed that the phosphorescent train of one meteor was 18 miles long ; the meteor seen at Dundee, from 51 to 57 miles high. One observed at St. Andrews and Glasgow was 60 miles above the earth. The catalogue of the association of the year had contained the most complete report ever presented on the subject of the maximum display in the November shower of stars in America. The approach of daylight will probably deprive British observers of the spectacle. At the last display the luminous streak was visible in North France and Germany for more than au hour. HYAM AND CO .

Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in mastication. "In going to Salzburg, the Emperor and the Empress were guided by a sentiment which public opinion could not mistake, and I should refrain from writing to you now of the interview between the two Sovereigns, had it not formed the subject of interpretations which tend to distort the charac ter it possessed. "The journey of their Majesties was solely dic tated by the idea of bearing an affectionate testi mony of sympathy to the Imperial family of Aus tria, so cruelly afflicted by a recent misfortuue. Certainly the heads of two great empires could not be together in confiding intimacy for several days without mutually communicating to one another their impressions, and exchanging ideas on ques tions of general interest. But neither the object nor the result of their interviews was the formation of combinations which there is nothing in the pre sent state of Europe to justify. " You remember the language of the Government of the Emperor each time that it has had occasion to explain itself respecting the state of things created by the military events of last summer. Our atti tude was defined first in the circular of the l_Gth of September last, again later by the language of his Majesty the Emperor, at the opening of the Senate and Legislative Body, and, lastly, by the speeches of the Minister of State during the Parliamentary debates of last session. We have not ceased to show ourselves, in all our actions, faithful to the intentions which we have from the first manifested in presence of the changes that have taken place in Germany. At a recent conjuncture we have seen the Cabinets of Europe do justice to the straight forwardness of our policy, and lend their concur rence to our ideas of pacification. What then occurred is a guarantee for the support which in case of need ideas of moderation would again receive from them. The interviews of the Emperor Napoleon with the Emperor Francis Joseph could not therefore have the character attributed to them by certain journalists. Long before meeting at S theira l z b a u c r g t s t a h n e d t b w y o tSbonvpear pacific ii fign s cs e h n a t d b n b e e n t t h s a iN t . b t e i : t h e sd, guide a th n e y m o , t t b l e ia r t d t L l . i s e ig ir n G t o b v a e n rni t i l i l e a n t ts b u f ni p t e ed rs c e o v u er ld ing not in fo t r b n e l same line of conduct as hitherto. Their conversa tions upon general affairs were limited to this assur ance, which was mutually given. " Thus, far from considering the Salzburg inter view as a subject for preoccupation and anxiety to other Courts, weshould see in it only a fresh motive for confidence in the preservation of peace. " I desired to let you know my opinion upon pub lications of which the object is to create a contrary impression. " You may adopt these considerations iu order to correct the erroneous views on the subject which may prevail around you. (Signed) Some such faults of management, and such ab sence of proper direction, are requisite to account for the astounding fact that out of 30,348 square miles in Victoria—" in any part of which (accord ing to official investigation) there is a possibility of remunerative gold deposits being found"—only 869 square miles have been mined upon ; and of this smaller area only about one-sixth was occupied at the end of last year, 1866. What, then, is the p conclusion ? We will give it in Mr. Kitto's own words :—" My intimate acquaintance with the gold fields, having been engaged for eleven years in con nection therewith as miner, manager of mines, and during the last seven years as Government mining surveyor, enables me to state without fear of con tradiction that I am within the estimate when I say that of the 860 square miles which have been par tially worked, and of which only one-sixth is at (ESTADLISIIED 1S15).
