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 edit of the Real del Monte Company. Ore yielding only £6 9s. per ton pays all expenses. The rem - t 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 £13.45. per ton, from which, notwithstanding the great cost incurred by that company for drainage,-z'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. MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. The Ballot. The Daily News understands that the provisions relating ti the form of the ballot, which Lord llartington sketched in his speech on 'moving for leave to bring in the Parliamentary Elections Bill, will be found to have undergone some modification when the bill is printed and put into the hands of members of Parliament. Mr. Leatham complained that the machinery was defective. It would be said, allow of the "Australian dodge," by which a voter goes into the secret compartment, secretes the ticket, deposits a "dummy" in the box, and takes the real Cast outside. This is filled up by bribing agents, and is then taken into the booth by another voter, placed in the box, whilst the unfilled ticket, which is given to this voter, is brought out and disposed of in the same way as the preceding. Mr. Leatham thought to obviat e this trick by marking the ticket with invisible ink. Naturalisation. The Post has reason to believe that the Naturalisa tion Treaty between England and the United States, which has been the subject of negotiation for some time past, has now been signed by Lord Clarendon and Mr. Motley. This at all events is a step to wards the settlement of one English diffic u lty w ith America. The vast emigration from the old to the young State has made the question of changing alle giance from one to the other a matter of the first impor tance. Hitherto the settlement has been delayed by the desire of the American Government to render naturalisation a more simple and easy process than the English Government were disposed to allow. The Wesleyans and the Education Bill. The united meeting of the " education," " privi leges," and " exigency " committees of the Wesleyan body concluded its deliberations on the subject of the Education Bill last week. The chief results at which the meeting arrived were as follows :--1. That a school board should be formed for every district in the country. 2. That the electors of school boards, whether in boroughs or in parishes, should be the ratepayers. 3. That in schools created under a school board, which may be called board schools proper, no denominational formularies ought to be permitted by law to be taught or used, but that no byelaw of the school board should prohibit reading out of the Scriptures or in struction out of the Scriptures by the teachers. 0. That in school board schools proper no person whatever, except the school teacher, shall give in struction in religion. 8. That the existing denomi national schools should not be interfered with, except so far as requiring the adoption of a satisfactory conscience clause. 15. That the bill is defective in regard to the general provision, whether by direct or indirect legislation, necessary for enforcing education throughout the country. A report of the, decision of the Ministry will at once be forwarded to all members of the Wes leyan connection. The Independents and the Education Bill. The Congregational Union have passed a resolu tion on the subject of Mr. Forster's bill, expressing their opinion that the conscience clause for schools in which religious instruction is given, will, as at present framed, prove inadequate. The Union also considers that the liberty, given to inspectors to inquire into the religious teach ing practised in Government schools is inconsistent with the principle of the measure, and that the power entrusted to local boards to determine the religious character of the schools they establish, and to aid denominational schools already existing, out of the rates, is open to very serious objection. Mr. Baines's View. These decisions lead Mr. Baines, M.P., to regard the aspect of the education question as much more promising. All over the country, he says in a letter to the Times, the state of public feeling is much more favourable. " The call for secular education appears almost to have ceased. The fears which prevailed so extensively among the Nonconformists as to the probable working of the bill are changed for a grateful recognition of the intentions of its authors, and a hopeful view of the removal of every serious objection by reasonable modifications. The utter impracticability of banishing the Bible or scriptural instruction from the rate aided schools is The Pay of Irish Teachers. One of the great stumbling blocks in the way of Irish education is the miserable pittance doled out to the national teachers. In many large districts the work is carried on by men whose income does not exceed eight shillings per week, and the provision of a dwelling does BM extend to more, perhaps, than one in ten. Some of the men who are in the employ of the State at this paltry sum of eight shillings per week are obliged to pay out of it the rent of rooms at their own cost to hold their schools in. This would appear in credible were it not for the corroborative fact that in large districts in Ireland, including rural counties, the average salary of teachers of all grades is only £22 a year. Lodgers' Goods. Much serious inconvenience, and oftentimes cruel wrong, have been inflicted on under-lessees, under tenants, and lodgers, in consequence of the operation :of the Act which enabled a landlord to distrain on their goods for the debts of the immediate tenant. It is trite that there -was a .413dy, remedy in, 1 the shape of an interpleader action, but in the majority of instances there were expenses 1 1 and inconveniences attached to this " saving process that rendered it worse than nugatory. By the bill now before Parliament, an under tenant, if threatened with distress, may make a declaration that the immediate tenant has no right in the property distrained. kfter this any levy against the goods in question will be illegal, and the distrainer will not only be held guilty of a misde meanour, but liable to an action at law for damages. The Barry and Ayrton Controversy. Mr. Edward g. Barry writes another letter to the Times to define his real relationship to the Houses of Parliament. He is anxious it should be understood that ho has male it a rule never to offer any suggestion to the First Commissioner of Works involving important expenditure except at the Commissioner's own request, and that he has never expended a farthing of public money without the official order to do so. His duty, in fact has bten strictly ministerial. With respect to the question of the drawings, lie repeats that, without discussing legal right, he had from the beginning offered to the Government without charge all the drawings he had made during his engagement in. respect of which payment could be said to have been made. He has also offered, he says, to have copies made at cost price of all the drawings left to him by his father ten years ago, for which 110 has of course received no pecuniary emolu ment whatewsr. Meetings in Hyde Park. Mr. Edmond Beales expresses himself pleased that the Flourens demonstration, proposed for last Sun day in Hyde Park, did not take place. He declares that he objects to meetings "calculated unneces sarily to wound the religious sensibilities of any class in the community," or " unnecessarily to interfere with- the use of the parks as pleasure grounds." Mr. Beales, however, is of opinion that the victory of the people when the railings were thrown down in July 1860, and the withdrawal by the Government of all resistance to' public meetings in the following May, have established the right of the public to assemble together in the park—a right w hich " will not be yielded to obsolete sneers about mobs," or " threats of opposition to the utmost." The Newspaper Press Fund Dinner. There were many good speeches at the News paper Press Fund Dinner on Saturday. The chair man, Mr. W. H. Smith, M.P., congratulated English newspapers on the improvement and elevation which had been visible in their tone of late years. It was to his mind very satisflidtory that the increase in circulation which had taken place in the last decade was accompanied with an entire cessation of that personal abuse and bad feeling which disfigured the journals of the past. Lord Houghton also commented upon the high char acter newspapers had it in their po giver to obtain, and had obtained. He regretted, however, that they were not sufficiently accessible to amateurs. A. little larger infusion of the .amateur element would, he thought, considerably improve their general character. Thanks to the toast of " The Visitors " were returned by two foreign gentlemen, the Nawab Nazim, of Bengal, and Don Arturo Marcoarti, a member of the Spanish press, who enlightened the company with a spirited account of how "England's children shed their blood and spent their money in the war of the Peninsula," and how, in return, the " Exiled Fathers of Spain found in England an asylum and a home." He believed that the most intimate friendship and understanding existed between the English and Spanish press, inspired by that sense of justice and liberty which, expressed in the - languages of Shakspere and Cervantes, would co-operate to keep the peace, and promote the happiness of both countries. The most humorous remarks during the evening were made by Mr. Anthony Trollope, who proposed the toast of the " Houses of Parliament." He felt sure that there were many in the room who had' ill-used members of Parliament either by curtail ing their speeches, by leaving them out altogether, or by inserting them on one page of a newspaper, and on the other informing the world that it was better they had never spoken at all. The time was now come in which they could make amends. By accepting the toast with cordiality they would spew our legislators that they felt for them that respect which was felt by the rest of the world. Installation of the Masonic G.M. The assemblage of the craft to witness the instal lation of Earl de Grey and Ripon as Grand Master of English Freemasons was in point of numbers and brilliancy without precedent. Indeed, no similar event to that of the present installation has taken place in this country for twenty-six years, the position for that period having been filled by the Earl of Zetland, who now retires. To give the fullest eclat to the occasion, Brother the Prince of Wales was present, and some idea may be gathered of the bril liant character of the ceremony from the fact that 1,200 of the highest officers of the craft assisted. Earl de Grey having been in vested by the Earl of Zetland with the insignia of office, and conducted to the throne, Sir Albert Woods, Garter, then proclaimed him by his names, and he was saluted by the brethren. The Grand Master having invested the Earl of Zetland as P.G.M. appointed the Right Worshipful Brother the Right Hon. the Earl of Carnarvon Deputy Grand Master amid loud cheers, expressing on his behalf his regret that it was impossible for him to be present in consequence of his having to receive the body of his murdered cousin. The Late Dean of Rochester. The death of Dr. Dale, recently appointed Dean of Rochester, will be heard of with sincere regret by those who have listened to his ministrations, while canon of St. Paul's Cathedral, and by many others who never saw him, but who were nevertheless acquainted with the genius and amiable character of the man. Dr. Dale was for many years vicar respectively of St. Bride's, Fleet-street, and of the parish of St. Pancras. He subsequently accepted a less laborious sphere of duty, at the rectory of Therfield, Herts, from whence, he was transferred three months since to the deanery of Rochester. The deceased, who was the son of a literary man once editor of a popular periodical, will be well remembered as the author of several volumes of poems, among which the " Widow of Nain," and " The Outlaw of Taurus," were perhaps the most remarkable compositions. Volumes of sermons and many other religious works written by Dr. Dale have also been published. It is a melancholy fact that the late Dean had only been installed in his new office a few days before he died. Baron Brunnow. The veteran diplomatist who has been Russian ambassador at the court of St. James's since 1858, is about to leave England, having been appointed to succeed the late Count Stackleberg in the Embassy at the Court PRICE Id. STAMPED 2d. of the Tuileries. Baron Brunnow has for half a century been connected at different times with England in diplomatic capacities, and he and his ac complished wife will leave behind them . a large circle of old and attached friends. Baron Brunnow in 1821 came from St. Petersburg to London as secretary to Count Lieren. In 1839, when affairs had become endangered by the designs of Mehemet Ali, then Pasha of Egypt, he was despatched by the Em peror Nicholas on two specialand important missions to this country, the result of which was the signing of a convention in July, 1840, by which the power of Mehemet Ali was limited to Egypt. In the last mentioned year Baron Brunnow became Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at the English court, an office which he was obliged to relinquish at the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1854. It may be mentioned that he had never ceased in the cir cumstances of the latter struggle to ad vocate a pacific policy, and that it was he who with his chief signed the Treaty of Peace concluded on March 30, 1856. Baron Brunnow was next directed to occupy himself in restoring Russian diplomatic rela tions in London and Paris, and atter a short ser vice in Prussia as Envoy Extraordinary, he returned to London in 1858, where lie has since remained as ambassador. In 1862 Prince Gortschakoff was sent specially from St. Petersburg. to England to present Baron Brunnow with the insignia of the Order of St. Andrew, and a flattering autograph letter in testi- L is long and meritorious services to his flifid his country.- The Sewage Question. A process, by which sewage can be instantaneously converted into a dry and inodorous manure, has been tried with remarkable success at Leamington. Two years since the Sanitary Board arranged with Lord Warwick that the sewage of the town should be conveyed on the irrigation system over his lordship's estates, instead of being poured into the clear and beautiful river Learn. Im mediately after the signing of tho con tract, the Native Guano Company offered at their own expense to relieve the Town Board of much of their difficulty by trying the "ABC process" upon the sewage. By chemical means the latter, on emerging from the pipes, underwent immediate pre cipitation. The solid and organic matter remained as a dry and harmless manure, while the effluent water was conducted in a pure and limpid stream to the river. So valuable has the manure of the Guano Company now become that it is impossible to keep pace with the increasing demand for it at. £3 lOs. per ton. Unfortunately for the people of Leamington, the discovery, which promises tosolve the great sewage question, has been exemplified successfully in their town without much pecuniary advantage to themselves, for by the contract with Lord Warwick they are bound to construct irriga tion works on his estates, which will cost at least a sum of twelve thousand pounds. The Romance of a Share List. Shares are not usually supposed to be very inte resting things except to the holders thereof; but there are exceptions to every rule, and the shares of the New River Company have certainly a claim on the public notice. At the end of this month there is to be a public sale of some of them, the first, which has been effected, though the company has been in existence for more than two centuries and a half. The original cost of the undertaking was £17,000, which it must be. remembered was a very large sum in the days of James I. There were 72 shares, half of which were made over to the King in consideration of pecu niary assistance which he had given to the scheme. In fact, the kingly pedant seems in this instance to have turned his recondite knowledge to some account, and to have given willing encouragement to Sir Hugh Myddleton in his difficult undertaking. His confidence was rewarded, for 30 of the shares which descended to Charles I.; were sold by him for £5OO a year, which is still paid under the name of the "King's Clogg." The income from one of these shares is now 4500 a year, and among the shares to be sold are " four-fifths of a King's share." Myddleton himself, who, like most great public bene factors, had to contend against almost overwhelming obstacles, retained 30 shares. He afterwards sold 28 of these. The capital of the company which he esta blished with so much difficulty is now estimated at over two millions and a half. • It supplies more than 113,462 houses with 23,790,607 gallons of water, a result that would probably have surprised the designer himself, since in the first Stuart's reign no one foresaw the extent of the modern Babylon. Old Newspapers. If all the thoughtlessness in the world could be utilised, what a vast amount of pain and misery might be softened. Few readers, when they throw a newspaper out of the railway carriage window because it has served their turn, are apt to remember that if conveyed to • the workhouse, though after many days, burdensome hours and ev en physical pain might be greatly lightened by its perusal. It is proposed by 'several gentle men, who take an interest in the aged and infirm of the London workhbuses, to ask the permission of the various railway companies to affix at the city and suburban stations boxes for the recep tion of such printed waifs and strays. The public are requested to assist in this humane undertaking. Hydrophobia in Hot Climates. Mr. Francis Mason draws attention to the circum stance that the subject of hydrophobia has not escaped scientific investigation from time to time. He mentions that the early history of the Medical Society of London, instituted in 1773, inti mates that the Fellows devoted their atten tion chiefly to the investigation of prevailing epidemics, such as measles, influenza, smallpox, &c., and that between the years 1700 and 1810 several meetings were occupied in discussing the nature and treatment of hydrophobia. It is, he observes, worthy of remark that these discussions on the disease invariably arose during the winter months, and would appear to have been apropos of the numerous cases then under observation. He gives the following extract from the minutes of a meeting of the society for what it is worth : " December 21, 1807.—Mr. Good stated that it has never been known that dogs which have had what is called the distemper (i.e., the contagious catarrh in dogs) ever died of canine madness ; that at Buenos Ayres hydrophobia is entirely unknown, but that the contagious catarrh is extremely common there. Mr. Chamberlains stated that in Jamaica the hydro phobia had not appeared for these thirty years, and that it is not at all known in the East Indies. Dr. Currie, when in the East Indies, made a great deal of inquiry after the disease, but could never trace the least vestige." The Lord Chancellor has nominated the Rev. Edward Foyle Randolph, M.A. , to the Rectory of Fyfield, Hampshire. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that the Conservatives are sadly put out by their confessed failure to find a presentable candidate for East Suffolk. Lord Mahon was named by his uncle, Sir Edward Kerrison, wh o off ere d t o su b scr ib e £5OO , an d to persuade a noble lord connected with the county to agree to do likewise. But there the party spirit of the gentry came to an end ; and, as not less than £4,000 was said to be required, Lord Stanhope's heir prudently withdrew. It is not c msidered likely that the present Parliament will outlast the year of 1871',; and noble lords and honourable gentlemen are, consequently beginning to weigh deliberately what they are likely to get for money spent in contested elections just now. THE GOVERNOR OF THE PUNJAUB.—The Mofus sUiu thinks that Mr. John Strachey will be the next Lieutenant-Governor of the Punjaub. It proposes that an extra toast should be given at the farewell banquet to Sir Donald M`Leod, " Our probable Lieutenant-Governor now at Simla." Mr. Strachey is residing at that place. DEATH OF MR. GLADSTONE'S COUSIN IN AUSTRALIA. —The Melbourne Argus relates that Mr. Robert Gladstone, a cousin of the Premier, lost his life through a lamentable accident at Terang. He was out riding and was ap parently unable to control his horse. He fell on the ground and the horse trampled upon him. He was so severely injured that he died in two days. He vas in terred in the Terang cemetery. THE MEN IN WOMEN'S CLOTHES.—An Edinburgh lady correspondent of the North British Mail says : One of the absurd young men who has got into such a scrape by figuring as a " Girl of the Period" at one of the Lon don theatres is pretty well known here. A couple of sea sons ago he was a constant habitue of the theatre and lounger on Princes-street, and was designated by his friends and confreres "The Baby." Remembering his young-looking face and boyish manner, it is difficult to credit him with any worse motive than the desire for a " lark " in his recent escapade. Gove:
