This company was established in January, 1861, for the purpose of working certain Gob/ Mines, which will " be found fully described in C tptain Thomas Tr eloar's Report. During the time the Company have been sftithrg for legal possession, anew twelve-head stamping mill has been erected, and work, preparatorY to the opening of the Mines, carried on upon a small scale. The Company having obtained legal possession of the property, Messrs. Henry Haymen and Robert Hesketh, Directors of the Don Pedro North del Rey Gold Mining Company (Limited), have joined the board, and instruc tions have been sent out to carry on the works with all possible despatch, to promote which object the Directors have decided to appoint a Superintendent, so that the Mining Captain's time may be entirely devoted to laying out and developing the Mines. The appointment of Superintendent has been offered to a gentleman who has been connected with Brazilian Gold Mining upwards of thirty years, and the Directors have reason to think that he will accept the appointment. The Directors have instructed him to commence opera tions on the unexplored Jacotinga formation, from which satisfactory results are looked forward to, considering its close proximity to the Gongo Soco l o d e .

Remember that in hot contests, when party spirit runs high, voters poll zealously fur their colour, and when once they have mounted the cockade consider it a point of honour to afford no assistance to the other side. Everything will d,pend on the skilful division of the third vote. We may assume that each elector will give each of his candidates one vote. But suppose that two-thirds of the Blues, on account of greater celebrity or old acquaintance, ins'st on giving their third votes to Mr. Vere de Vere, the old member, and only one third bestow them upon Mr. Newman, the second horse of the team, the poll will stand thus VERE DE VERE.

Mr. Noble and Mr. Millocrat, their candidates, have theluck to be equally known or unknown to fame, so that•half their - electors give their third vote for one, and half for the other, their poll will stand thus : NOBLE. First, votes ... Third votes ... MILLOCRAT. 7,0001 Second votes 3,500 Third votes... ... 7,000 ... 3,500 an independent line, the former was only repre sented by the directors of the latter. The com mittee revl2w the transactions of the board in very severe language, and state that the total amount of clpitat and borrowing powers of the three companies, for hieli the directors had secrctly undertaken to become liable, amount to £1,35,9,600, while the amount they led the share holders to believe would. be the limit of their con tribution was £595,000, and the amount actually expended on these three lines up 'to the present time being £332,045. The committee consider that the Brighton Company are neither legally nor morally bound to take over these lines — that there are solid legal grounds for holding those directors who obtained the moneyfrom the Brighton funds responsible for its repayment. The transac- o p rs u et l o a ct t kl i dssi should with Mr. J. T. Mackenzie are the n r eferred to at some length. Mr. Mackenzie, after declining nge t f i on was made i l to make a loan, agreed to purchase st o ck to the ex tent timeul d b ad ehs expired further the Mr. Mackenzie, it is stated, ascertained that the di- r di rectors were endeavouring to raise money by "pawning" stock greatly below the price he bad Paid. The commission paid to Mr. Scrimgeour, the broker, is shown to have been entered in the books for larger arnounta.than he *ADA,. rec e i v ed, The committee then say that the investigation thus far has satisfied them that the greater part, if not the whole, of the amount of dividend in 1866 was im properly distributed; that there was, in fact, no sum available for division among the ordinary share holders ; and that instead of a surplus there was a deficiency. The estimated liabilities of the , ofooo 968„ com pany at present are reckoned at £1 which £1,000,000, it is thought, should be imme diately provided. The assets are considered to amouutto £2,543,975,and assuming that £2,000,000 has been raised, viz., £400,000 by debentures and land and £1,600,000 by stock, the capital would show total preferential debt £12,579,468, with an annual charge of £600,530, and ordinary capital £5,374,595. The amalgamation with the South- Eastern is recommended, and also the reconstitution of the board, the new names proposed including Sir Charles Jackson and Mr. Laing. With an economical expenditure and a closing of the capital account the committee estimate that, after 1868, a balance would remain available for dividend on or dinary stock to the extent of 21 per cent. The above is a condensed summary of this report, which, we may add, is signed by Lord Westbury as chairman. The charges made are so serious that it is difficult to believe some explanation may not be forthcoming sufficient to disprove the graver portion of them, and we therefore refrain from quoting those passages that convey the strongest censure, until it is seen what the individuals incul pated have to say in their own vindication.

Nor. Can this contretemps always be helped. A very eminent or very landowning candidate would seriously damage his less eminent colleague. Mr. Gladstone in one of the South Lancashire divisions would, with an evenly-balanced register, be the cer tain means of handing over the third seat to the Conservatives, since he would absorb too many of the extra votes. So, in another county, the whole country side would shower their third votes on Lord Magnate, the eldest son of Earl Magnificent, to the sure defeat of his excellent coadjutor, Mr. Nobody. Professional skill would of course he at a high pre mium. An electioneering agent skilled in splitting the third votes would be worth his weight in gold. The problem would be this—given 7,000 free and independent electors, scattered over a whole coun ty, and polling at 50 polling-places, how to induce 3,500 of them to give their third vote for one of your candidates, and 3,500 to give them for the other. Driving 7,000 pigs to market would be an easier task. And skill would not always avail. One candidate will have winning manners, and the other awkward. One understands soft sawder, and the other is skilful at blunders. One of the Blue candidates in a manufacturing district cuts a joke at the expense of the chawbacons. In 24 hours it flies on the wings of the penny papers throughout the county, and alienates the third votes of the whole agricultural interest. Or an amiable Liberal candidate in a Churchy neighbourhood is beguiled by a gentleman in a M.B. coat and white choker into some pledge about the Church. Straightway the members of the Liberation Societies transfer their extra votes to his colleague. No calculation would be safe, and in evenly-balanced constituencies the odd seat would always be at the mercy of chance, and would be given, not so much to a majority - of voters; as to the greater skill or better luck which split the extra votes of the party into proportions more or less approaching to moieties. I fear that this practical difficulty must attend every kind of cumulative voting, and we ought not to shut our eyes to its existence. Nor does it affect a small proportion of the elections. Out of the list of 31 constituencies in Mr. Laing's schedules I count no less than 15 where the repre sentation is divided between the two political parties, or has only been won by close contests. Well, then, the difficulty is a serious one, and must be carefully considered. We do not want to make elections as complicated as a spider's web or as pure a game of chance as the Great Yorkshire Handicap. There is complication enough and manipulation enough already, without adding another element of " em b ra nglement• obedient servant, y our 11. DUDLEY BAXTER. Hampstead, June 13. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, Naval and Military Intelligence. LONDON AND BRIGITTON, The report by the committee of investigation into the affairs of the London and Brighton Railway Company was issued this afternoon. It is a very careful and ably-written document, and severe be yond measure in the censures it passes on the con duct of the directors of that line. The disclosures made are of a most painful character, and far exceed in gravity those that took place in connection with the North British Railway. The report commences with a lucid history of the line for the last seven teen years, contrasting the results of Mr. Laing's management with the policy pursued by Mr. Leo Schuster and the present board. The aim of the former, it is stated, was to abstain from extensions, to keep down the capital account, to maintain friendly relations with neighbouring companies, to cultivate the traffic, and• reduce the expenses. A appended i t n ah er le case2tthe t showsotal capital that, w fromas £ 18743,00, andBstoolBs4 o ,the f the net income £125,000. In the following twelve years, however, the capital had been increased £8,072,000, raised almost entirely by preference stocks and debentures, and the net income aug mented only £113,000. " In other words," say the committee, "a permanent charge of nearly £400,000 a year on £7,300,000 of preference and debenture capital was incurred, to earn an additional net in- I come of £113,000 a year." The policy of the board is severely criticised in other particulars. £435,214 ld. is shown to have been expended out of capital on works in progress from 1858 to 1866, which should have been charged to revenue, and the out lay on new lines from 1855 to 1866 amounted to £6,961,651. During the past ten years the Brighton Company spent about £2,300,000, and the South- Eastern about £4,000,000, in improving their metro politan terminal accommodation. Full details are given of the Surrey and Sussex and West Sussex Jun ction Railways. The conclusion to which the commit tee come is, that the former was a sham company, got up by persons connected with the Brighton board, and palmed off on the shareholders of the Brighton line as a real and AlmsndFependent com aridt h f thatu:, Son, the and pan coAodlee,ttearunworuinttceinngb ytothers. board Surrey and Sussex Bill had received the Royal assent is given in full, and the conduct of the direc tors is commented upon in no measured terms. The Brighton Company expended, on account of the au thorised subscription to t his line, 1277,144, and the report states that "no other person contributed a single farthing, not even in the necessary qualifi cation of directors." The works of the line have now been stopped, and the contract with Mears. INTaring terminated under an agreement to refer the affair to arbitration. In the case of the Chichester and Midhurst line the Brighton Company has con tributed £44,450. The railway is 11i miles in length, and the cost, including stations, is to be £140,000. The works here also are s o th e on - ded, £16,000 having b een a g reed to be paid to the tractors as compensation for relinquishing their contract. Regarding the West Sussex Junction Railway, it is shown that it was promoted by Mr. Faithful, the solicitor, and other individuals con nected with the Brighton Company. Various sums of money are stated ohave been paid to these and gen tl eme n for the services they rendered, although in the agreement for the amalgamation of the West Sussex with the Brighten it is called The iron troop ship Jumna, 3, Capt. Pickard, from the Jarrow Works, which arrived at Plymouth on Sunday week, went into Hamoan on Monday, and was promptly placed in the Queen's dock at Kuban,. During the week her engines have re • ceived some slight repairs, her bottom has been coated under the inspection of Mr. Hay, the Admi ralty chemist, ani she has received a large quantity of fuel and stores. During the present week a trial of her engines and machinery will be made at the measured mile outside the breakwater. The Jumna is one of the five new transports for service in India, which burden 4,173 tons, and have engines of 700 horse power. SALE OF YEARLINGS AT EAST ACTON STUD FARM. A most important sale of yearlings was held at Mr. Donald's Stud Farm, at East Acton, on Saturday, when Messss. Tattersall offered 51 lots for public competition, consisting of 15 of Mr. Gulliver's, 11 of Mr. Bell's, four of Mr. W aring's, five of Mr Watson's, and seven of Mr. Duke's, with some smaller lots. As this is the first sale of yearlings held at East Acton it may be right to mention that it would be impossible to find any place better adapted for such a purpose, the stabling being newly constructed, with all the recent improvements; and the boxes being both large and lofty, as well as ventilated in the best manner. Previous to the sale all the visitors were entor- tained at an elegant luncheon, laid out in the tent which had been erected in tho middle of the quadrangle, in tho centre of which a fintntnin Rverf?tblbg rind of thn most recherche description, including turtle in abundance, and the wines, with champagne and claret cup, received ample justice from those present. The ring was erected t so o ins Ia : e g e c t a s t h a e t H a n a i m m p a t l o s . 11 C T o h u e r t press o r la i w d d e were e e - . at the side of a large field adjoining the boxes, Mr. Donald P a a ls r o k, '" a ' l e m ll o 't4 s 'k t all en having taken the precaution to have an inner ring railed off, so as to exclude the rabble and allow bonafide purchasers care of, two carriages being placed in convenient positions h realisinges t s successful uni,fro es 0 gy o s one. . yearlings, irn Out agns , average of Mr. the 5110 lots put for their especial use.

Mr. Jay purchased a nice colt by Neville—Sunfl o wer for 310 gs. ; but the best sold animal was the colt by Thunderbolt —Melody, for which Mr. H. Hill gave 420 gs. Of Mr. Waring's lot the filly by Oulston—Crucifixion, was most admired, and after some smart competition was bought for Dr. Shorthouse by a friend of his for 450 gs. The Churchill yearlings, Mr. Bell's, were next put up, and tho 14 lots realised 2,775g5, or an average of 198 gs, areat g falling off from last year's sale when eight lots fetched 2,715g5, or an average of 339g5. They were turned out in good style, but only three of them made good prices—the colt by Dundee, Margery Day, which Mr. Hobson got for 700 gs, and the brother to Friponnier, which Mr. J. Dawson bought for Mr. Pryor for 650 gs. The last is very smart and racing like, and well worth the money given for him. Mr. J. Day alsoug bought a useful colt by Dundee—Maggie Lauder, for 350 gs. Six of Mr. Watson's were then put up, but only one, a colt by Rataplan, Connection, bought a good price, and ha was well sold to Mr. Stephenson for 400 gs. A Newminster filly of Sir T. Leonard's was not sold, and a colt of Mr. Deacon's, br. to &ploy, brought 100 gs only, purchasers being evidently deterred by the suspicious appearance of his near hock. Mr. Duke's lot of seven in number were next brought out, but only three were sold, makinall g together 580g5., or an average of 193 gs. They were greys, and very well shaped and racing-like, particularly the filly out of Saxe-Weimar. The next sale will take place at East Acton on Saturday, June 29, when several very valuable lots will be offered. The names of the purchasers, with the prices annexed, are given below : Mr. Gulliver's yearlings. Gs.

The following divisonal order was accordingly issued : " The Royal Horse Artillery,lCa.valry, Royal Ar tillery, Royal Engineers, Royal Engineer Train, Military Train, and the three infantry brigades will parade as strong as possible at Cre;ar's Camp at 10.45 a.m. on Monday, the 17th inst. Infantry regiments to be furnished with 10 rounds of blank ammunition per man." It is expected that there will be upwards of 12,000 troops on the ground. An escort will await their Royal Highnesses on the arrival of the 10.18 train at Farnborough. The military invalids were disembarked on Satur day from the transport King Arthur at Spithead, and removed to the Ro3fial Victoria Hospital, Netley, by Government steamer, and the ship proceeded ou her voyage to London to discharge her cargo. The screw steamer Duncan, 81, 800 horse-power, Capt. R. Gibson, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir James Hope, G.C.8., late Commander-in-Chief of the North-American squadron, was paid off in the Med way, on Saturday, "all standing," under the supe rintendence of the officials of the Steam Reserve and dockyard. A silver medal, together with a gratuity of £l5, was awarded by the Admiral to James Sims, ship's cook, for long service and good conduct. The Duncan has been three years and a half in commis sion. and, notwithstanding the nature of the service on which she was employed daring that time, she is in excellent condition. She relieves the Trafalgar, 72, 500 horse-power, as flagship of the Coastguard at Queensferry, Scotland, and the officers and crew of that vessel will be transferred to her forthwith. On the Duncan being pail off the crew weregrantcd only a short leave of absence, as they are required to assist in manning some of the vessels taking part in the approaching naval review at Spithead. Private letters received by our Chatham corres pondent from her Majesty's armour-plated ship Zeal ous, 20, 800 horse-power, flagship of Rear-Aduaira the lion. G. F. lla,stings, C. 8., Commander- l n- Chief of the Pacific squadron, report several move ments among the vessels o n that station. The screw sloop Columbine, 4, 150 horse-power, and the store- I ship Nereus, 6 , were at Valparaiso at the despatch of the mail. The Columbine was under taken into Atkinson's floating dock to.receive new rudder pendants for the Lumley patent rudder, with which she was fitted while at Sheerness. The screw corvette Clio, 22, 400 horse-power, Capt. N. E. B. Turnour, had not arrived at Valparaiso at the date of the despatches being forwarded, although she had been anxiously looked for for several weeks previ ously. There were about six months' mails waiting on board the Nereus for the officers and crew of the Clio, Dr. A. L. Archer, surgeon, and Mr. T. Steel, master, waiting her arrival to join her. The sloop corvette Reindeer, 7, 200 horse-power, Commander E. Narcs, left Valparaiso on the 24th of April, for Mazatlan, to relieve the Mutine, 17, 200 horse-power. The Reindeer was in spected by Admiral the Hon. G. F. I lasti n gs, on h er a rrival at Callao on the sth of May, and she was under orders to leave forthwith. The Zealous was lying at Callao at the despatch of the mail, and was on the eve of departure for Vancouver Island as soon as the mail from England had arrived out. The officers and crews of the various ships were all well. A 10-inch cast-iron old service gun, converted to an 8-inch rifled Palliser gun, was proved on Monday last in the Woolwich Marsh with two rounds, con taining 3711 b. of powder and 1801 b. shot each, and after examination was found to be completely sound The gun has fired during the week 50 additional rounds, with charges of 301 b. of powder and the 1801 b. shot as before. The gun was searched and carefully ir.spected throughout, and was found in tact. Its weight is 41 tons. Twelve other guns of various sizes have been sent to Elswick to be con verted on the &tine principle. The screw steamship Don e g al, 81, having dis charged her powder, was taken on Friday from Ply mouth Sound into Hamoaze, and was placed in No. 1 dock, Devouport-yard, where she is DOW having her sides caulked and bottom cleaned. The paddlewheel steam - frig ate Terrible,l9, Capt. J. E. Commerell, C. 8., having discharged her powder, will be removed to-day from Plymouth Sound into Ilamoaze. S he is under orders for being docked to have defects made good. The paddlewheel steam -frigate Gladiator, 6, Capt.

The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Times :—Sir,—ln February last you were so good as to insert a letter from me on the subject of the Cumulative Vote, in which I com bated the notion which at that time entertained in some quarters that this method of voting would be applicable to all constituencies possessing more than one member, and that it would prove a panacea against the evils of democracy. May I now address to you a few lines on that more logical and moderate idea which appears now to express the views of those in favour of Cumula tive Voting, and which confines its operation to a limited number of constituencies, large enough to be represented by three membein? On the notice paper of the House of Commons these views seem to be represented by the motion of Mr. Laing to give a third member to six boroughs and 25 county constituencies containing populations above 150,000, and the amendment and motion of Mr. Hughes that wherever three members are or shall be re- turned each elector shall have the power of distri buting his votes in any manner he may think fit among the candidates. As there are now nine con situencics returning three or more members, this would produce a total of 40 constituencies endowed with the Cumulative Vote. Exception may be taken to the large number of counties selected for the honour, as compared with the small number of boroughs. and it may be fai.rly utged that, no-elec tors are much more numerous in boroughs in pro- portion to the inhabitants, the borough standard of population ought to be much lower than that of the counties ; but otherwise the scheme before us shows the cumulative principle under its best form, and in a shape most advantageous for candid discussion. Logically the proposal appears fair. The effect would be that in each constituency one-fourth of the electors voting would be able to return one of the three members, and so secure one-third of the representation. This seems rather too large a pro portion, yet not enough to excite much observation. But change the proposal into figures, testing it by En example of large numbers, and its-extraordinary character becomes apparent. Suppose a cOnsti- tuency in which 10,000 come to the poll ; the pro posal is that 2,501 of these electors, by cumulating their three votes apiece, shalt be able to return a member against 7,500 voting for three candidates on the other side. So insignificant a minority is to carry the day, as regards one member, against the overwhelming majority of three times their number. This is opposed to all our old-fashioned notions, and I must confess, appears an excessive concession to the minority. Surely it would be wiser to propose that each voter should only have the right of giving one additional vote to any one candidate. In that case one-third of the electors would return one-third of the members, and the result would be more per fect in theory as well as less at variance with our prejudices. But it is not enough to have a logical theory ; the scheme ought also to work well in practice. Until the practical working has been well looked into, it is impossible to predict success. The very best schemes in theory can often be shown to be unworkable in practice ; for instance—pace Mr. Mill—the elaborate perfection devised by Mr. Hare. Looking into its practical operation, we find that the cumulative vote will work best where the majo rity is a large one, and the minority small. In such cases the machinery will be used just as its proposers desire. The downtrodden Conservatives of Bir mingham will plump their three votes as one man to force a Tory partner into the hitherto Radical firm of Scholefield and Bright. The little flock of Radicals in South Devon will move like a phalanx to impose a manhood-suffrage colleague on Sir Law rence Palk. But wherever parties are nearly balanced a difficulty will occur, which has not been foreseen, and to which I wish to call your attention. The difficulty is - this. In an evenly-balanced con stituency it will be useless for either party to start three candidates. Ther opponents aro certain to return one of the members, and will run them hard for a second member. T he stru ggle will be to re turn the odd member. This can best be done by starting only two candidates. For instance, sup pose an election iu which 7,000 electors vote on each side ; if three candidates are started by either party they canonly receive 7,000 votes apiece ; - but if two candidates are proposed by the other party they have 21,000 votes to divide between th em , and, by fi rs t- ra t e m anagement and luck may poll 10,500 apiece, so winning the odd member in a canter. To start a third candidate will clearly be to renounce the odd seat; and it will become an axiom of elec tioneering that, in three-cornered constituencies where a sharp fight is expected, only two candi dates can be put forward. A second axiom will be that the utmost care must be exercised to in duce the electors to divide their third vote equally between the two candidates. That is to say, half of them, or as nearly half as possible, must be got to give their third vote to one candidate, and the other half to the other candidate. If much more than half give them to the favourite candidate, the other is left with much less than half, and a gap created which may let in the two candidates of the - enemy and lose the odd trick. It is like riding two horses at once—you must keep them exactly abreast or you come to grief. To illustrate the case by an example. Suppose a constituency of 18,000 electors, of whom rather more than 14,000 actually come to the poll. Sup pose that 7,200 of these electors are Blues, and poll dutifully for their two Blue candidates, and that 7,000 electors are Yellows and vote for the two
