That even when the 14ft., now risen to 20ft. by reason of the surface drainage having continued to pour in, has been emptied the real bottom of the shaft will be reached is open to doubt, for the:old inhabitants of Upper Areley, -which is the nearest village, and is a mile and a bail away, talk of the pit as having in their child hc od the reputation of being 100 yards deep. No one, however, has any recollection of the pit being in work, and the only record of mining hay lug been practised there is to be found in the parish books, where there is an entry of certain mines in the parish of Areley, in which the coppice is situated, being rated. The locality has always borne a bad name, be cause of the alleged lawlessness of the people who used to inhabit it either as fixed residents or as squatters ; and strange tales are told of dark deeds whispered to have been done both in the coppices and in the adjoining wood. So far as the revela tions already made by the searching of this pit shaft go they would seem to be not altogether groundless. The nearest plate of abode is the Holmes Farm, about 100 yards away ; the next' nearest place where people live is 300 yards off, where there are three cottages, near to the Bewdley and Cleobury Mortimer road.

THE APPROACHING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Anglo-American Times SIR, —ln the United States all parties are now looking forward to the Presidential election. Can didates are being placed in the balances. The state of public sentiment and the popularity of men and measures are being discussed. Movements, now deliberate and slow, will gradually increase in power, directness, and rapidity. When the smith commences heating his iron he takes time. He thrusts it into the forge, works a little at the bellows, sprinkles a little water on the ashes, works again at the bellows, and again, as the blue flame ascends, stirs the ashes. But how changed is his course when the iron is at a white heat ! How quickly does he seize it and fling it on the anvil ! With what force, directness, and rapidity his blows descend ! When the iron is hot, time is power. The public mind in America is becoming warm on the Presidential question. The white heat state will be when the Conventions meet to nominate candidates for the office. Their every nerve will be strained and every effort put forth. The earlier American Presidents were chosen because they stood by the people in their struggle for independence—because they had evinced the qualifications of leaders in the day " that tried men's souls," and because they " made a nation." The non-existing party machinery of County, State, and National Conventions had not then been framed. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, after filling respctively the office of Vice-Presidents, were chosen Presidents; while Madison, Monroe, and John Quincy Adams were respectively ap- ...) 7 , , , I_ s.

Coloured men, too, are coming forward and pleading their own cause in speeches to the people, in conventions, and in the newspapers. The elements in the South are becoming fused and plastic. They will receive a good impression. An open Bible, a free people, a free press, and a repre sentative Government, will vindicate their rower in making America peaceful, united, and prosperous. I hail, therefore, the discussions preparatory to the next Presidential election. They will promote the regeneration of the public mind, will strengthen and unite the good, weaken and disperse the evil, aid America to discern her duty and discipline, and train her for the fulfilment of her great mission. 4 • isiff`y SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ~" _- :.,.

A. F. KINNAIRD, ESQ.'S, ELEVEN. A match was played at Eton on Saturday last, the 12th inst., between the College and an Eleven collccted under the auspices of A. F. Kinnaird, Esq. The result was a victory for the Etonians, who obtained the only score of the day, one rouge standing to their credit at the termina tion of the match. The weather was very unfavourable, an unwholesome fog covering the ground with its dense folds, and preventing the exhibition of any energetic play on the part of the opposing sides. A few minutes after the usual hour for commencement, 12.30, the first bully was formed, from which a ball soon emerged, to be carried by the Etonians steadily down to their opponents' goal. Inch by inch and foot by foot the Collegians drove the bands of Kinnaird back to their lines, until a rougo was obtained by Carr Lloyd. The consequent bully in front of the polo did not prove successful in reducing the goal, and the ball was carried backwards and forwards by the forward players of the two sides, until half-time was called by the umpire. The Elevens now changed goals, but no further event of importance took place, the play being most evenly balanced, and when time was up the honours of victory rested with the Etonians. The long kicking of each team was especially good, although it was at times sadly wanting in direction, which, however, may be attributed to a first appearance more than any fault of play. The most conspicuous forward players wore E. Warburton and C. Tait for the Etonians, and H. C. Bonsor and A. Owen for Mr. Kinnaird's Elei, 3n. Herewith is a list of the two sides :—Etonians—J. R. Sturgis (Captain), W. C. Calvert, J. Mc. C. Bunbury, M. Homer, E. Warburton, C. Tait, C. J. Thornton, R. Palton, J. Carr-Lloyd, 11. Courthopo, W. Lees. Mr. Kinnaird's Eleven—A. F.

MARCH OF AN ARMY OF RATS. —A few nights ago, a party belonging to Haddington, who had occasion to travel between Tranent and the burgh, found himself suddenly in the midst of a legion of rats, which were leisurely crossing the high road from ono side to the other. The rats were too much occupied with their own concerns to pay any attention to the passer-by, who, though every moment expecting to be attacked, was allowed to move on unmolested. The rats seemed to be in thousands, and, from the direction they were taking, appeared bound for a neighbouring stackyard, the owner of which is not likely to be benefited by their company during the winter months.—lladclington, Courier.

The bonds offered by the Great Republic Gold and Silver Mining Company have some points worth he careful attention of investors. They combine a good solid security for a high interest, with a pleas ing prospective or speculative gain, which men generally can only procure by risking the total loss of the money invested. If bonds for £lOO be given for £6O, on which 7 per cent. is payable in London, half-yearly, such an investment, if the security be good, is sufficiently attractive. But the real in ducement to take up these bonds does not lie in this. We have no hesitation in asserting that the most splendid prizes offered to the world are in the mines of Nevada. Scores of them are yielding fabulous returns for the capital employed. Whatever may be the merits of the Great Republic, it is situated in the very core of this wealthy mineral country. A celebrated mining engineer asserts that the geolo- gicalformation is far in favour of the Manhattan and the Peak, and the result shows that the capital ex pended, has in the space of three months given a dividend which excels the Comstock in its palmiest days. Our readers know what that dividend ;s. If the Great Republic can approach the mines of the Comstock—for every £lOO the investor should re ceive £5OO a year. There is no reason why this com pany should not return as good dividends. Thus the bondholders may eventually secure an enormous prize, for there is a clause in the contract offered by which they may convert their bonds into shares at any time within three years upon application to the trustees, re ceiving the shares at par. By taking up the bonds they incur no risks, but if the mine turns out to be as rich as reported the holders may drop into a prize they little anticipated. Our sources of information show it to be beyond question that the State of Nevada is the richest silver country of the world. The Reese River district is among the most famous, and the Smoky Valley is now exciting great interest in the mining regions from its enormous wealth. Austin, the second city of the State, stands to the east of Reese River Valley, and is the rapidly growing metropolis of the rich mining country where it is so well placed. The direction of the hills is in parallel lines, running north and south, and the roads trending through the vallies join at Austin. The Reese River Valley, for instance, maintains a generally parallel direc tion with the Smoky Valley and that with the Ral- T. T. PEARS, Major-General, Military Secretary.

The Manhattan district is situated on the eastern range of the Smoky Valley, about 75 miles south of Austin. The road runs up the valley, passing by several mines, till it reaches Manhattan District, when a branch road joins through the Asteroid " Canon," as the vales are termed in Nevada, which road penetrates the Great Republic Gold and Silver Mining property. The whole State is healthy, the Indians few in number and quite harmless. They belong to the Shoshone tribe, and do not exceed 800, scattered over a wide area, of which Austin is the centre. Most of the ore in the country round Austin is reduced in the quartz mills of that city, of which there are seven constantly at work. As the ore increases in quantity and the more distant mines are developed mills have been erected over the district, several are in course of construction, and some completed in the Smoky Valley. The yield of silver per ton from the Austin quartz mills is from $lOO to $6OO, the average being at least, according to the last accounts, $2OO. The cost of extracting ores in that region varies widely, being dependent on the body contained in the mine and the facilities for reaching it. Ore is delivered at Austin as low as $8 to $lO per ton, and as high as $25 to $3O, averaging about $l5. From 43 ledges in the immediate neighbour hood 1,451 tons of ore were reduced during the first quarter of the present year, from which the lowest yield was $36 44c., and the highest $520 05c. per ton, the average being $l7O ; a con siderable increase on the yield g:ven by the ores during the preceding quarter, and showing a ten dency to increase in richness in proportion to the depth. The shipment of bullion for the first quarter of the year from Austin through public channels amounted to $389,307, which would be very largely increased if the sums conveyed through private hands were added. Labour throughout the States commands from $4 to $6 a day without board, and in the Reese River district, where the demand is large, to develope the vast mineral wealth, it ranges even higher. The country is volcanic, hot springs abounding, emitting steam and sulphurous vapour. The plains stretch in monotonous, dry, and sage covered valleys, with parallel mountains covered with the same vegetation, and differing only in their rock formation. This changes from the strata of slate, granite, syenite, and marble, to the volcanic rocks of scoria and trachyte. The whole country through the Smoky Valley and Charnock's Pass, and to Hot Creek mining district, 100 miles south east from Austin, is fabulously rich in silver ore; even the surface yield, in some instances, ranging fram $3,000 to $12,000 per ton. As far as explored Horn silver or native chloride of silver is the predo • minating ore at the surface. The country round is the core of the very richest silver region ever dis covered. The famous mines of South America and Mexico sink into insignificance when brought into comparison. The Mining Journal of Saturday last has the fol lowing remarks on this property :—" As o b serve d in last week's Journal, the Great Republic Gold and Silver Mining Company have some of the most valuable mines in Nevada, and it is fully antici pated that their mines will pay dividends equal to the best in that country. That silver mines are paying, that legitimate investments may be made in them, there is no question, and the bonds of this company are offered as a safe and profitable invest ment. The arrangements for the payment of the interest upon the issue of £lOO,OOO 7 per cent. bonds is such as to secure their prompt payment; there is also the option to the holders of converting their bonds into fully paid-up shares, at $5 to the pound, while the bonds are issued at 60 per cent., equivalent to the fully paid-up shares, costing but $3 per pound upon their value. The bondholders not only hold the entire mining property of the company, but all the machinery, reduction works, and deve lopments which are to be made from the sale of the bonds as a security for the loan." speaking of the security, the Morning Post observes :—" The payment of each bond amply securrd by a deed of trust, or mortgage from the: company, conveying all the property they now own, or may hereafter acquire, including all the machi nery, fixtures, land, and property of every kind and description, which fact is fully set forth in the body of the bonds, and endorsed thereon by the trustee. There can be no risk to the investor, as the property now owned by the company free and unencumbered by any other debt is more than sufficient to pay the entire loan." The Standard says, " The company, knowing the advantage of working all their mines at the same time, have issued bonds payable in six years from their date, and drawing 7 per cent. interest, payable semi-annually, for the purpose of meeting the necessary large expense in procuring machinery and transporting the same to the mines." The following summary of the report on the lodes is given by the Mining Journal :—" The mines have been inspected and reported upon by Mr. W. M. Murray, mining engineer, and by Professor J. E. Clayton, the report of each of these gentlemen being appended to the prospectus. Mr. Murray re ports Manhattan to contain a vein of black an timonial ore five feet thick, assa):ng from $53 . 69 to $270 ; Cherokee, a vein seven feet thick, ore sulphuret of, copper holding gold, assay ing $45.23 to• $308.63 ; Choctaw, a vein 6 feet thick, sulphoid of silver, assaying $29.63 t $196.23 ; Seneca, a vein 15 ft. wide, ore sulphuret of silver (this vein is described as well defined, and cropping out for 1,000 feet), assaying from $63 to $372; and Wyoming, a vein 5 ft. thick, showing free gold, and assaying from $91.13 to $516. Mr. Murray considers that " this district when deve loped will far exceed Silver Peak, in the said county. My reasons for making this statement will be plain to all who may visit either—the geological forma tion is far in favour of the Manhattan, and the Peak, considering the capital expended, has in the space of three months given a dividend which ex cels the Comstock in its palmiest days." Professor J. E. Clayton reports that he has traced one vein that is from 6 to 15 feet thick, well defined, good true walls, and crops out boldly for about 1,000 feet in length ; he made some tests of the ore that yielded over $2OO per ton. This is a good silver beat:ng district, the veins contain a great deal of horn silver, and compact chloride ore in great quan tity, which can be easily extracted from these mines. The supply of wood and water is convenient, and sufficient for all practical purposes. The district is easily acc - Isible by a good road." Our work as American journalists throws in our way information in advance of the English public on these subjects, and we are satisfied that the wealth of Nevada and some of the adjoin ing States and territories is so enormous, the facilities by which it can be reached are so rapidly completing, that the drift of British capital cannot fail to tend soon in that direction, and those who are early in the field will, we feel sure, reap the reward of their enterprise.—Anglo-American Times.

THE "TIMES" ON THE NEW YORK STAGE. The Times continues its interesting articles on the stage of New York by an English playgoer. No. IV. opens with an account of the New York Theatre, which stands on the east side of the Broadway, a little below Wallack's. Formerly a church, it retains its original ecclesiastical aspect, the old square Kentish steeple, and shocks Eng- Fah feeling by the showy letters around the parapet, announcing the New York Theatre. It chiefly depends on pieces called " Transpontine." The melo-drama, at pre sent attracting a large audience, is entitled " Under the Gas-light." The "Sensation" is a horrible villain, who binds a poor wretch across the rails, and the noise of the coming train excites the greatest anguish, when a woman appears as the deliverer. The house in which Madame Ris:ori performed is the French Theatre, in a fashionable district out of the Broadway line. Madame Ristori created a furore in New York, and her return is eagerly awaited. Mr. J. Jefferson, whose Rip Van Winkle, at the Adelphi, was considered one of the finest delineations over seen in London, is now at the New York Olympic, where he draws crowded houses. A like good fortune attends Mr. Forrest at the Broadway Theatre. In New York his best parts are con sidered to be Virginius, Richelieu, and Damon. Long-1-or gotten in England, "Damon and Pythias" remains an ever green in America. The Astor Place Opera House, now converted into the mercantile library, is still pointed out as the scene of the Macready riot, said to have emanated from the cool reception the American star met at the Princess's in Oxford-street. The writer doubts whether, with the exception of Mr. Charles Kean, there is now upon the English stage a tragedian worthy to hold a candle to Mr. Forrest. "He is not over refined, and he rather makee points than grasps entire characters. But his power is great, he is a conscientious artist, and in the New World he stands as almost the last representative of that old English school which was re garded as perfect before the age of ultra-realism began, and miniature accuracy on a miniature scale was regarded as the ultima thule of histrionic art." Although little of the antique enters into the American element the writer ob serves :—" But English history is more loved here than it is among the most patriotic Britishers, especially that por tion which precedes the quarrel between the mother coun try and the colonies. To the American Queen Elizabeth and Mary Stuart are classical figures, re,wesentatives of his own ancestry; and when the former brandishes the sword of Enrico Ottavo' to confront Philip 11., the claptrap is more tolling in New York than it would be in London. It is the cause of the Anglo-Saxon against the Spaniard, contested before the time when the At.glo-Saxon split up into two factions. "Richard III.," once so popular in England, has altogether dropped there, and it is pleasant to observe the zeal with ,which Now Yorkers flock to wit ness and applaud Mr. Edwin Forrest's impersonation of the crook-backed tyrant at the Broadway Theatre. " There is all the old traditional business, executed with unfading energy and power, and the accessories are all in that old fashioned style in which every illusion, save that produced by the principal actors, is eschewed altogether. Those devices by which Mr. Charles Kean contrived to make the boards look as if they were trodden by real armies are wholly unknown, and half a dozen men-at arms, intended to represent hundreds, appeal to the imagination only, without any attempt to appear more numerous to the physical eye. As far as decorations are concerned, things are in that palmy' state of which so much is talked by veteran legitimists, but which always fails miserably when its restoration is effected." According to the writer, the adequate performance of subordinate parts is not to be found on the New York stage where the "star" system prevails. " People go to see one principal actor, and nothing more. That the Americans love good acting there is no doubt, but they are content to find it in the one particular artist who holds the highest place. I am told, however, that my opinion on this subject would be modified if I witnessed the per formance of a legitimate comedy by the regular company at Wallack's, whose activity will not commence till towards the end of this month. I deem it but fair to state this fact, as I fear I shall not stay long enough to ascertain whether my present impression is correct or not." "Gorgeous decorations, though not found necessary for the enjoyment of the poetical drama, are, nevertheless, . welly relished by the Americans; and I Lave already men- vity !,oti lary der tho and tho has dif the re of and g an it. in inois woen they med large i 44, Don close ;t. 9.) ) the , cre very rope. lt, on a ro- sum ming s mull Rion, been every those ct. 20.
