The large and valuable range of Silver Mines which this com pany is formed to work is situated in the same rich district, and in close proximity to the profitable Mines of the celebrated Real del Monte Company, which, since its establishment in 1849, has yielded Dividends to the Shareholders amounting to nearly £3,000,000 sterling. . No drainage is now required as the shafts have all become dry since the completion of the great Aviadero adit of the Real del Monte Company. Ore yielding Only £6 9s. per ton pays all expenses. The result therefore of numerous assays of ores taken from various parts of these mines, and giving an average value of £45 10s. per ton, cannot but be considered as highly satisfactory, more espe cially as the average produce of the 525,978 tons of ore, reduced by the Real del Monte Company up to 1865, was only £l3 45. per ton, from which, notwithstanding the great cost in curre d by that company for drainage, a profit of £2,411,500 to that period was made. Prospectuses, reports, and forms of application for shares, may be obtained at the Offices of the Company, and of the Bankers, Solicitors, and Brokers.

The Fenians have after all commenced the raid which has been threatened, believed in, and dis believed in again and again. Very .cleverly the Brotherhood have managed their enterprise, what ever success it may have. When the reports of an attack grew serious, the Canadian authorities made every preparation; they sent troops to the frontier, and suspended the Habeas Corpus Act. Now that the precautions have been relaxed, the " invasion " has been attempted. THE ISLE OF WIGHT. Hardly are Sir John Simeon's remains cold before the politicians begin to battle for his seat. Mr. Baillie Cochrane, who is out of Parliament at pre sent, and instead of boring the House of Commons, bores only the readers of the Morning Advertiser, will be the Conservative candidate. Mr. Moffatt, late M.P. for Southampton, who lost his seat for that borough at the last general elec tion, is a candidate in the Liberal interest At the last election Sir John Simeon won,ttgainst Mr. Baillie Cochrane by 1,358 -- to 1,118. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT, The repeal of an Act which, though of compara tively recent date, has long been absolutely obsolete, is at length fairly in contemplation. The Ecclesias tical Titles Act is no longer to encumber our statute book, in which it is certainly undesirable to retain a mere dead letter. The bill now before the House of Lords recites the Act of 1851, and also the Irish Church Bill of last year, and pro ceeds to recite that no foreign prince or potentate has power to confer any title or dignity within the United Kingdom, and that all assumptions of rank not conferred by the sovereign are wholly void, but it is not necessary or expedient to impose penalties on those ministers of religion who may be designated by certain titles of office, even though they are connected with the name of a town or place within the United Kingdom. VOTING PAPERS. A . past " deputy returning o ffi cer " affords the public the benefit of his experience in reference to the voting papers scheme of the Government. He submits that, however delightful in theory, it is a most unpractical one. In proof he in stances the necessary manipulation in the folding up of the papers, which will never be pro perly accomplished in the hurry and turmoil of an election by any but the more intelligent and cool nerved voters. Then the deputy-returning officer is to be so careful in the way he opens and unfolds the papers that neither he nor those around him are to catch sight of the names of the candidates voted for. The ceremonial prescribed he really considers borders on the ridiculous. Besides these difficulties, the past deputy sees no end of others. If the voter is to retire to a compartment alone to mark his vote and fold his paper, he believes that the time thus occupied will be found so im mensely to retard the proceedings that the poll would close before even a majority of the voters had polled. THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL. At a general conference of the clergy and Noncon formist ministers, at Nottingham, in reference to the Government Education Bill, it was resolved that all existing and future denominational schools established under the provisions of the Bill be sustained and managed as they are at present; but that in all elemen tary schools there should be a time-table conscience clause—that is, a regulation fixing a definite period during school hours, in which religious instruction should be given, and during which any child whose parents or guardians desired it should receive other instruction instead. It was further resolved that existing schools, where they are insufficient, should be supplemented by schools to be erected and partly maintained by local rates, and to be under the direction of local school boards. Also that in such supplemental schools religious instruction should be taken solely out of the Bible, and only by the regular teacher, all human creeds and formularies being excluded. ARCHDEACON DENISON. The Archdeacon of Taunton has not yet ended hif; labours in reference to the Government Education Bill. He forwards to the Standard a copy of a letter which he has addressed to the Secretary of the National Society for the education of the poor in the principles of the Established Church. In it he says that being unable to accept the position taken by the Committee in respect of the Education Bill as de tailed in their memorial lately addressed to Mr. Gladstone, he has to request that his name be re moved from the list of members of the society. A FACT FOR EDUCATION ASSOCIATIONS. While our several rival leagues and unions and associations are waging war to the knife over tech nical differences of detail and abstruse theo logical disquisitions, there are a few awk ward facts which it would be well not to overlook. The Middlesex sessions have just opened, and as usual the calender is a tolerably heavy one. It contains the names of 71 prisoners, whose antecedents and belongings are specified, as well as the crimes with which they are charged. Let us see what rela tion these seventy-one English worthies bear to our national aLd denominational perplexities. Of these seventy-one, forty-one, or considerably more than half, have been imperfectly edu cated; eight, or more than a tenth, can get no further than elementary reading. Twenty one more can neither read nor write, while the remaining one has been well educated ! So much for the combination between vice and knowledge, of whose dangers we have heard so much Truly, the easy and convenient fashion of suffering our City arabs to grow into manhood untaught, while we are settling whether we can reconcile the elaborate doctrines of Catholic, and Church man, and Nonconformist, and whether the Decalogue shall be taught before or after geography and spelling, produces practical results that can hardly, we should imagine, satisfy the religious scruples of the denominationalists, or suit the philo sophical enlightenment of the secularists. GOVERNMENT AID. At the anniversary dinner of the Royal Geo graphical Society the Duke of Argyll replied to the toast of " The Houses of Parliament." He said he was almost ashamed to accept the thanks of societies such as this one for the small—he might almost say the paltry—sum which . the Government had now offered for the extrication of Dr. Livingstone from Africa. He expressed his fear that the assist ance which they were now sending to the great traveller, amounting only to £l,OOO, although it might be sufficient to extricate him from Africa, and enable him to return from Lake Tanganyika, might not be sufficient to enable him to complete his investigations. His Grace suggested that if there were any doubt whatever on the matter, a voluntary subscription should be set on foot, and he ventured to say that ten times the amount would be raised. WATERING CATTLE ON RAILWAYS. There is at last some hope that the cruelty result-. ing from the neglect to water cattle while in the course of transit by railway will be obviated. The Privy Council have issued an order with a view to meet the requirements of the case. The order contains a schedule with a selected number of watering places on each line, based upon the theory that cattle should have a draught of water at intervals of time not exceeding twelve hours. Railway. fficials are not celebrated for too close an application of moral science to the performance of their duties, but special arrangements should not be wanting to make them fully acquainted with the necessity of carrying out these regulations. LADY GUARDIANS OF THE POOR. The question of Miss Burdett Coutts's election as a guardian of the Bethnal Green Union will shortly, it is expected, be tried in the law courts. Mis , - Coutts, it may be remembered, was nominated by a working man, and although the lady received a majority ofvotes, the clerk of the union did not take them into account in the belief that a female could not hold office as a guardian of the poor. The working-man proposer Mr. Atkins by name, thereupon appealed to the Poor. Law Board, who suggested that the case should be referred for decision to a court of law, and to the Court_ of Q.ueou'a Beuch .it will 119 W Mbablv be 4ta, VG - Av ~ 4- MAY 25, 1870. brought. The only delay in the matter arises from a want of funds, but as a collection has been now set on foot to defray the costs of the legal proceedings, it is expected that a hearty response will be given to the appeal for money by those in the metropolis who believe that ladies have some rights in the question of government which may be established by a little strenuous exertion and determination. YOUNG ARABS. . Mr. Needham, master of the Meriden Workhouse, directs attention to that important measure, the In dustrial Schools Act of 1860. He expresses a fear that it is much neglected, and details a plan that has been found very efficient for carrying its provisions into effect. He says the resident magi strate of the Meriden Union, who is also chairman of .the Board of Guardians, instructs the relieving offi cers to bring befOre him all young vagrants under the age of 14 years applying for admission to the tramp ward. It he finds them eligible under the fourteenth section of the Act, they are sent to the - workhouse for a period not exceeding seven days, until they can be dealt with by the justices. Mr. Needham recom mends a general adoption of this plan as an— im; , portant means of rescuing wandering and neglected children from a criminal and vicious life, and of at once capturing runaway children who have com mitted criminal acts. MIRACLE PLAYS. A. visitor to Munich gives an interesting account of the singular Passion Play, which was to be per formed at the little retired village of Ober- Ammergau on Sunday last. This remote corner of Bavaria boasts the distinction of being the only place at which the old traditional mysteries or miracles are still performed. The Church at first tolerated them, only stipulating that they should not be played until the afternoon, for fear of their attrac tions withdrawing worshippers from the churches. After a time, however, the -rivalry grew dangerous, and the anathema was directed against them. The only one which survived the ecclesiastical maledic tions and the restrictive decrees was the one we have specified. At first they were too popular to be easily suppressed, so the Church turned them to account by interpolating a sermon between the parts. Our modern oratorios are said to have originated thus, as the members of the Oratory wrote hymns and set them to music to draw the young people to the churches. This device succeeded so well that a musical sacred drama was called by the name of " The Oratory." The play itself is of some what formidable dimensions, extending from nine in the morning to six in the afternoon, so that the audience or spectators, whichever they are called, must be tolerably patient. Great interest is felt in the performance at Ober-Ammergau on account of its rarity, and strangers flock to the little village from all parts of the continent to witness it. A HINT TO PUBLISHERS. The poems of the Rossetti family are justly obtain ing much praise for their originality. Considering that the authors are Italians, the wonderful pre cision with which they adhere to English idioms cannot be too highly appreciated. It is for another reason, however, that reference is now made to the Rossetti volume. In it, Mr. Dante Rossetti, has had inserted about a dozen pages of clean paper, on which he very properly thinks a few admirers may be glad to record their impressions of the work. If other publishers would only take advantage of this hint, an important boon, which has often been wished for in vain, will be conferred upon the readers of the volumes issued from their esta blishments. CANADIAN FISHERIES. The Canadian fisheries have long been a vexed question, and the last despatch from New York chews how awkward the affair may become if the contending parties are excited or irritated by the controversy. According to some old treaties, certain privileges were conferred u?on American fishermen, but as they are now out of date, the international right is all that the Ame ricans can lay claim to. Strictly defined, this permits them to fish in waters three miles off the Canadian coast, but the permission is so variously inter preted that endless discussions arise. The Colonial anthorities wish the coast line to be drawn from headland to headland of a bay, but the Americans retort that by this definition they could enclose whole tracts of sea. The simplest way of settling the matter would be for the rival claimants to discuss the ques tion quietly and see if some arrangement cannot be come to which would be for their mutual advantage; but this course they do not seem disposed to adopt. WHO SHALL BE MAYOR p The Canadians are not content with Fenian troubles on the frontier; they are indulging in a small civil war in their chief city. Quebec has been the scene of a most extraordinary municipal dispute. Two gentlemen claim the office of Mayor,and what is the most remarkable part of the story, they appear to have taken the law into their own hands in the matter. M. Tourangeau claims to be the lawful mayor, but M. Garneau, his rival, having succeeded in gaining the control of the police by his own vote in the Police Board, of which the acting mayor is chairman, took possession of the City Hall. M. Tourangeau, instead of ruling his fellow cstizens, found himself a prisoner, for M. Garneau was determined to wield his wand of office with resolution, and assumed, according to the ac count, a kind of military dictatorship. A. military guard from the citadel garrison was, by the last intelligence, in full possession of the avenues to the City Hall, with orders to "let anybody out, but nobody in." Very likely the thieves and pickpockets of other cities would have no objection to a double judicial authority, if it ended in so convenient a standing order for the guardians of the police courts. Of course the good citizens of Quebec are quite capable of managing their own business, but prejudiced observers at a distance are a little puzzled to know, while mayors, and police, and military are all so busily employed, who is looking after the thieves ? CAPITAL PUNISHMENT. Whilst Holland has decided to abolish the penalty of death, North Germany has come to the contrary resolve. A new penal code has been under the consideration of the North German Par liament, and one day a deputy proposed to abolish capital punishment. Count Bismarck pro tested in vain. The proposal was adopted. But the Count is not a man to be easily beaten; he generally has his way, in spite of all the many Par liaments of which North Germany can boast. The motion has accordingly been withdrawn. Neverthe less, the general tendency of the new penal code is to lighten punishment. SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. The Times' correspondent repeats the rumour, whispered in more than one quarter, that the Duke do Saldanha, who has just effected a change of Ministry by force in Portugal, intends to do all he can in favour of the Iberian Union. If this should prove to be the case, the bloody revolution which took place last Thursday in the streets of Lisbon will gain an importance far exceeding that of most other affairs of the kind in the Spanish peninsula. It has generally been understood that the Duke is favourable to a union between Spain and Portugal. But the Portu guese people are much opposed to their nationality being merged in that of their greater neighbour, though if an understanding be come t . o between Sald an h a an d the Spanish leaders, the wish of the people will avail little. The omnibus drivers and conductors in the employ of the Birmingham Omnibus Company are at present on strike on a question of wages. The negotiations entered into by the Khedive relative to judicial reform in Egypt having been success fully carried through, his Highness has ordered the lands adjoining the Suez Canal to be allotted in equal propor tions and sold publicly. A. remarkable case of longevity is reported from the parish of Woollavington, in Somerset. In the parish register for the year 1768 the following entry occurs: — "John and Samuel, sons of John and Joan Collins (being twins), were baptised." Samuel, it is stated, is still alive, being 102 last M arc h, " an d a bl e t o go to s h o p with his basket." According to a despatch in the American papers received yesterday, the Red River New Nation. says that Colonel Rankin, of Canada, was expelled from Winnipeo because of his Fenian proclivities ; that he offered Riel the services of two or three hundered filibusters from the United States, and the offer was declined, without thanks. PRICE l d, STAMPED 2d. PARIS comrtEstiONDENCE, MONDAY EVENING. The verdict of the press has been on the whole favour able to the Imperial speech, always, of course, excepting the irreconcileables,whom nothing will satisfy. The Rappel affords an amusing specimen of the discriminating criti cism of this school of politicians. "It (the speech) is utterly insignificant, colourless, and null." We are told, however, a little further on, that " there are some prisoners, and no few threats." So it, contains something tangible at any rate. ". The whole production," adds the Rappel, "is dull, dusky, void of conviction or of hope, without one gleam of sunshine, without one idea. One seems to hear the sepulchral voice of Ninas, and it makes one feel the glacial moisture of the tomb !" This is only what might have been expected from the Rappel, and indeed most of the criticisms might have been written beforehand, so well could the Parisian politician foresee their tenour and tone. The Univers, I must tell you, is offended at the " self-satisfied tone " of the speech, and the com plete absence of all ideas relating to reli gious interests. "It appears," says this -Clerical' mentor, "that a Government which has - received 7,350,000 votes can dispense with Providence." Apropos of the Plebiscite, the Siecle very unkindly drags to light a maladroit passage from a speech of M. Emile 011ivier last April before he tasted the sweets of office. Men who look to be Prime Minister should be a little more circumspect in the expression of their opinions, especially on such many-sided things as Ple biscites. However, " success is virtue " all over the civilised world, and certainly not less in Paris than elsewhere, and if he steers the ship of State safely through the shoals which surround it, M. 011ivier can afford to smile at little thrusts of this description. The Chapel of the Tuileries was yesterday very fully attended, the congregation being probably more anxious for the grand "Te Deum " than for the sermon. The Bishop of Adras, chaplain to the Emperor and Empress, officiated. Several other churches held a religious cele bration of the vote. Their Majesties, after Mass, received the Papal Nuncio, the diplomatic circle, and several other distin guished persons, who were ready with their felicitations. The illuminations in honour of the Pl4biscite were very brilliant and ingenious. The Minister of the Interior adopted a striking device, and exhibited on his official residence the figures with which we are all so familiar -7,350,000—in fiery splendour. We are improving in our telegraphic dexterity. The Emperor's speech, containing 532 words, was sent from Paris to Havre by two wires in ten minutes. You will have heard of the disastrous accident which befell M. Vandal, the Director of the Post-office, this morning in the Bois de Boulogne. He suffered, it appears, from a double accident, being first overturned in his chaise, and secondly, by a most unhappy chance, crushed beneath the dying horse, which had broken from the man who held it and fell heavily upon M. Vandal. The Emperor is much concerned at the accident, and has sent several times to inquire how the invalid progresses. His condition is serious, but he is quite un conscious of the accident, and talks eagerly of getting up and going to the Chamber. An explanation has been given to that passage of the Emperor's speech which speaks of placing the expression of the national will beyond all controversy. It appears that a project of law will shortly be presented which will forbid the discussion of any petitions that are con trary to the Constitution in the Chambers. The list of new Senators will shortly appear. M. Emile de Girardin will certainly be among them, and he will join the band of the devoted political party at the very moment when his ideas are on the side of the oppo sition. He will in all .'probability enter the Senate in order to assume with the greater ease the place which St. Beuve possessed. A Centre Gauche in the Senate ! The experiment is a critical one. Will M. de Girardin succeed as well in the enterprise as in the conduct of the Liberte, for which a few months ago he refused a million and a half francs. The last few days it has been extremely hot here, and already in May we are emulating the dog days, but, notwithstanding the discomfort, the theatres are crowded. At the Vaudeville they have had a great suc cess in the revival of "L'Heritage de TJh Plumet," which was brought out for the first time at the Gymnase about welve years ago, and has not since been acted. It is the work of M. Theodore Barriere and the late M. Ernest Capenden, and is in five acts. The audience were delighted with the performance, and seemed to appreciate a real comedy without the vestige of a struggle for dramatic effect. The appointment of M. Grammont is said to have dis turbed the sensitive nature of the Berlin politicians, on account of his known partiality for Austria ; but, on the other hand, the official journals declare that the new Foreign Minister is actuated by no prejudices in favour of one country over another, but that he will act in confor mity with the experience he has derived during the years he has passed in public life mixing in important political affairs. He has left Paris for Vienna to present his letters of recall. Yesterday afternoon we were visited bya violent storm which lasted for an hour. There was heavy rain, accom panied with hail. The hailstones were of an enormous size. The most vivid lightning and heavy peals of thunder completed the terrors of the scene. One advantage was that the atmosphere improved, and the insupportable heat abated. ENGLISHMEN ABROAD. The Cologne Gazette tells a sad story which reflects no credit upon the doings of Englishmen whilst travelling. On November 24, 1869, an Englishman and his wife en tered the Hotel de Russie of Frankfort, the husband giving himself out to be a man of great literary impor tance in the service of " the far-famed house" of Murray. The hotel keeper was quite taken in, and received his guests with unusual dis tinction. By and bye, when a large accoun had been run up, the literary man was suddenly called away on business, His wife, however, was left at the hotel. Very soon she received a tele gram from her distinguished spouse, informing her that a sad accident had happened—broken bones and other misfortunes. With streaming eyes she came to " the only too philanthropical hotel keeper," and explained her terrible case. Her hus band, she said, had omitted to leave money with which to pay the bill, and she did not know what to do. The landlord's heart was touched ; he opened his purse, and generously presented the lady with sixty thalers. She then went to join her husband. It soon occurred to the landlord, after her departure, that it was time he had heard from his grand English friends, but no letter came. He therefore wrote to them to their London address. No such name was there known. In vain inquiries were made in every direction. No traces of the couple were to be found till early in the present month, when they were discovered in an hotel in the Strand. As the hotelkeeper happened to be in London at the time, he confronted the culprits ; but they only pointed to their empty purses, and he had to be satisfied with reproaching them for their baseness. The Cologne Gazette says that this is no exceptional case ; that almost every year Englishmen visit the German baths, live expensively at first-class hotels, and then decamp without paying their bills. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB, The first match of the season of this club took place yes terday. The prizes were three pieces of plate, of the value re pectively of £lOO, £3O, and £2O, the course being from Gravesend round the Noro Light and back. The following vessels entered :—The Julia yacht, 113 tons, Mr. G. F. Moss, owner; Rose of Devon, 148, Mr. E. Johnson ; Christabel, 52, Earl Annesley ; Muriel, 40, Mr. H. Bridson ; Oimara, 167, Mr J. Wylie; Vanguard, 60, Col. Verschoyle; Viudex, 45, Mr A Duncan; Fiona, 77, Mr E. Boutcher. There were three prizes—one of £lOO for the first vessel, £5O for the second, and £2O for the third. Time allow ance, 20 seconds per ton, but no time allowed for ton nage above 100 tons. This arrangement with regard to the time allowance was not approved of by the owner of the Fiona, and he consequently declined to start his vessel. The steamer Eagle, which accompanied the match, reached Gravesend at 11 o'clock, and Lord Alfred Paget directly started the yachts at a little more thin half-spent ebb. They all cast to starboard, and made a short heard on the Essex shore, and commenced a hard beat down the river against the south-east breeze. The Nore was rounded by the Oimara at 2h 52m 40s; Vanguard, 2 54 8; Rose of Devoe, 3 7 25 ; and Vindex, 3 15. The yachts ultimately got back to Gravesend and terminated the match, as follows:—Rose of Devon, 6h 18m 50s; Van guard, 6, 19, 4 ; Oimara, 6, 21, 3 ; Julia, 6, 30 ; Christabel, 6, 30, 10; Muriel, t, 31; Vindex, 6, 31, 14. The Van guard won the fit at prize by time, the Muriel the second, and the Vindex the third ; but Mr Duncan protested against he Vanguard taking the prize, on the ground that she had iolated the "rule of the road." The protest has been to ferred to the Sailing Committee. Now ready, in 2 vols., post Bvo., with Illustrations, 245., RAMB L E INTO BRITTANY. By the Rev. GEORGE MUSGRAVE, M.A., Oxon.
