STATISTICS OF MINERAL PRODUCE. The collection of statistics bearing on the productive wealth of the country is an object which for many rea sons it is most desirable to obtain with accuracy, but which. strange to say, in a great Commercial coun try liketthis, is as yet accomplished in scarcely any of the various branches of its industry ; and it is only very recently that attention has been directed even to the importance of obtaining returns of the agri cultural produce of the nation. We are happy to see that during the last twelve months Mr. Robert Hunt, the keeper of the mining records of the country at the Museum of Economic Geology, under the superinten dence of Sir H. De la Beche, has been sedulously de voting himself to the co ll ec ti on o f s tatistics of our mine ral productions. Considerable difficulties were at first experienced in the a tt emp t to collect this informa tion ; they have, however, disappeared before the persevering energy of Mr. Hunt ; and the first fruit of his exertions is now before us, in the shape of " Statistics of the produce of copper, tin, lead, and sil ver from the mines of the United Kingdom, with the exports and imports of the metals from 1843 to 1852 in clusive; by Robert Hunt, keeper of mining records. The statistics of coal and iron are in course of prepara tion, and we trust that the parties interested in mining property of this description will follow the example set by the people of Devon and Cornwall, and other parts, and afford the information required, which, it should be borne in mind, if given, can in no instance be productive of injury to individual producers. . Next to the diffusion of instruction on matters relat ing to the improved w or ki ng of mines, it scarcely possible to conceive a m ore important exer?ise of the institution—the functions of this int eres ti n g and useful School of Mines—than the collection of i nformation of this kind. The Museum of Economic Geology, as originally founded, • was intended to supply a want which was very generally felt, and the subsequent addi tion of lectures and a school of mines was admirab ly calculated to increase its efficiency. T he Museum of Economic Geology has n ow become, in fact, the only Instance in the United Kingdom of an organised in. structional institution arising out of a museum, and maintained in strict connect ion and relation w ith the purposes for which it was originally established. Professor Forbes, in his int roductory lect ure t o th e present session , referr in g to this unique character o f th e museum in Jermyn - street , states — " This is not an acci dent, but an event contemplated from the commence ment of the geological survey of the country. It is an experiment on a considerable scale, with a greater pur pose, for, with a limited though rapidly i mprov i ng ma chinery, it is intended to advance educational aims that have a vital importance in their bearing on the future prospects of the country. It is an endeavour, by a State mechanism, to cast the seeds of sc i ence over the broad fields of British industry, not indiscriminately, but espe cially in those places where th ere i s a good soil thirsting for their germination." The success of the museum has been as great as could be reasona bl y expected • the stu dents have highly distingui s h e d t h emse l ves, and many of them are already filling valuable and honourable posi tions in connection with mining pursuits, for which t hey had become qualified by th e course o f study prescribed in the establishment. The artisans of London have also eagerly responded to the opportunity so freely offered to them of receiving information, and the lecture-room on Monday evenings is crowded with the working classes, who, with unmis takeable earnestness and intelligence, attend the vario us courses delivered by the professors for their special in. atruction. We trust that no attempt will be made t o depart from the special objects for which the muse um was ,founded, and which alone it is calculated to at tain ; for to attempt to extend its sphere to an in definite variety of scientific subjects would not only impair its usefulness, but destroy that confide nce w hi c h it is desirable the public should feel in an insti tution of this kind. Anxious as we may be to wit ness the rapid spread of general science, we are not the less desirous of witnessing the steady and cer tain progress of those parti cu l ar b ranc h es wh i ch bear upon different kinds of i n d ustry. By some peculiar mi sn omer, this museum, stored with geologies 1 specimens, and apparat us an d mach i nery adapted onls for mining purposes, has rec en tly b een ca ll e d a "Metro politan School of Science appli e d to th e A r t s ;" an d if we are correctly informed, it has even been proposed to employ it for the purpose of t eac hi ng sc h oo l masters general science, and indoctrinating precocious monitors of national schools with such an amount of general science as may enable them to obtain certificates of competence to teach th e ent i re round of applied and abstract sciences. The attainment of these objects is no doubt highly desirable ; hut to suppose that this amount of varied knowledge is to be gleaned from a museumof economic geo l ogy an d a sc h oo l o f mines, is to attribut e grea t er power t o th e ser mons which stone s may teach than even t h e most sanguine of geologists would venture to claim for his science. While on this point, we may state that the special classes of the different pro fessors are well attended, and that the chemical and metallurgic laboratories are full, and already a greater amount of accommodation is required than the building at present possesses. There is scarcely an instance in which a portion of the public funds may be so well employed as in maintaining the efficiency of this museum. The knowledge.which it imparts applies to a branch of industry which produces annually, from beneath the soil of the country, materials of the value of more than twenty-five millions, and in the production of which at the present moment an immense amount of unnecessary labour and wasteful expenditure is incurred. If, by improved modes of working, or by a more extended knowledge of the principles of geological science, any portion of this unnecessary expenditure may be arrested, it will be so much wealth gained to the nation, and, being so much more property available for the exigencies of the State, will more than repay the assistance which may be afforded ; the institution, in fact, is thus a self-supporting one, in the truest sense of the term. The results of the inquiries directed by Mr. Robert Hunt will be read with interest. The returns of the copper ore and copper produced are mainly derived from the tioketings" and returns of sales made by private contracts from the agents of the respective mines. The principal tin smelters and agents of mines have supplied thestatistics of the quantity of tin produced. In the case of the lead returns, the "ticketings" of the lead sales in Flintshire, although not usually published, have been forwarded to the museum, and every mine has been communicated with. The information with respect to the produce of this metal has been furnished with the 1 utmost readiness, and the most correct results have been arrived at. With respect to silver, the return professes to be only an approximation, as the system of obtaining the produce of this metal has not yet been sufficiently organised to secure exact information, and the main part of the information has been furnished by Messrs. Walker and Cross, and Mr. John Taylor, gentlemeo, most inti mately acquainted with the mining operations of the country. The general summary of the produce of copper for a period of five years, ending 1852, gives the following results : Ore. Copper. Value. Tons. Tons. £ English mines 765,025 59,943 4,033,039 Irish, Welsh, and foreign mines sold at Swansea 203,437 34,238 2,604,530 968,462 94,181 6,687,569 Average of the five years ... 193,692 18,836 1,337,515 In 1852 the quantity of copper sol(1. in Cornwall was 11,776 t ons o f t h e tota l va l ue o f 9 75 ,9751. ; in Swan sea the quantity sold was 4,901 tom;, valve 464,314/. In 1852 w e i mported 37,817 tone of foreign copper ore, of which we reoeived from Cuba 17.660, South Austra lia 8,580, Chili 5,569. an d Sp a i n 1,934 tons ex port of British c o p per was 16,936 tons. The Our increase in the produce of ore from English mine. 4 in 1852, as compared with the pr ev i ous year, was 15 , 000 t ons , an d the increased value about 190,0001. The produce of the lead mines of the United King dom in the five years ending 1852 was 450,880 tons of ore and 308,180 tons of lead, being an average produce of 90,176 tons of ore and 61,636 tone of lead. The year 1852 showed a falli ng o ff of 10,000 tons of ore and about 1.000 tons of lead ; the produce it the year being 91,235 tons of or,' and 64,937 ton 3 of lead. The im ports of leild in 1852 were 13,257 tons, while in 1848 they amounted only to 3,788 tons ; while in the same period our exports of lead increased from 6,128 tons to 19,995 tons. The tin produced in Britain in the five years ending 1852 was 50,407 tons, or an average of 10,081 tons, the produce for 1852 being below the average, and amount ing, only to 9,674 tons. The imports of tin in 1852 were 2,372 tons, and in 1848 only 298 tons ; but during the same period the exports have fallen off from 1,797 tons in 1848, to 941 tons in 1852. The returns of silver are exceedingly interesting, as showing the proportion in which this metal exists in the lead of different parts of the country, and which, owing to the ingenious mode of treatment invented by Mr. Patterson, may now be most completely extracted : Proportion or silver in i en' ton of lead, in ounces.

We would suggest that the returns might be made more valuable, if information could be added to them of the statistics of the labour and machinery employed, and the capital invested, in these great undertakin g s , in a manner similar to the returns publis h e d by the French and Austrian Governments. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. A very full meeting of this society was held on Mon day evening last ; Sir Roderick I. Murchison, Vice- President, in the chair. Among those present were his Excellency the American Minister, M. de Ver neuil, Sir David Dundas, Sir Woodbine Parish, Sir Benjamin Outram, Colonel Everest, Colonel Lloyd, Captain Gordon, R.N., the Earl of Sheffield, General Monteith, Messrs. Rennie, Osborne Smith, W entwort h Dilke, Dr. Lindley, Dr. Power, eitc., (h. Messrs. J. King Watts, J. M'Dowell, R. G. Wear, and J. D. Dod son, were officially introduced upon their election. Rear- Admiral Percy Grace, Captain M. Quin, R.N., the Rev. Win. Oxenham, NI:A., Messrs. Robert Blencowe, J. Nugent Daniel, George Dolland, and T. Clements Parr, were elected fellows. The papers read were, 1. "Ac count of an Expedition to the Sources of the Amazon," by Colonel Lloyd, her Majesty's chargé d'affaires in Bolivia, in which paper Colonel Lloyd went to show that no hopes could be entertained of forming any direct communication between Bolivia and the Atlantic via the south-western tributaries of the Amazon. The CaeramAN, in commenting on the ability displayed by Col. Lloyd, adverted specially to one of the most impor tant results of his explorations, that the humid and woody region to the east of Bolivia was so adverse to human life, that no useful intercourse from west to east could be established in these parallels, in which opinion Sir Woodbine Parish entirely concurred. 2. " Variation of the Magnetic Needle at Aden," by i n According n t i s o h e Captain H Ca a p i n ta e i s n Haines,since 8 1 34 n t i a h n e Navy. vari west erly at'Aden, 2 deg. 12 min. 40 sec., which renders it probable that a. still greater change has taken place in the northern part of the Red Sea since the survey, and which during a dark night might place a steamer six or seven nautical miles out of her supposed posi tion, particularly if assisted by a slight current. Dr. Buist remarked that the needle at Aden seemed to be no more than obeying the laws of, magnetic variation all over the world. At Greenwich the variation was, in 1576, 11 deg. 15 east ; in 1660, there was no variation, and from this date it travelled westerly till 1815, when it attained the western variation of 24 deg. 27 min., or at the rate of 9 min. annually. The Greenwich variation of 1852 was 22 deg. 17 min. 34 sec., so that since its change of direction it had been travelling at the rate of 3 min. annually eastward again. The Bombay variation was set down, in 1788, at 0.40 min. west. Norrie gave it at 1 deg. subsequent to this, but neither quoted date nor authority. In 1843 it was 11 deg. east ; in 1847, 14 deg. 0 min. 22 sec. ; in 1850, 15 deg. 8 min. 46 sec., the change takingplace at half a minute annually. In 1844 the Bombay Geographical Society de signed a scheme of concerted meteorological observation for all parts of the East ; but Aden was the only station at which a complete series of observations had been taken. Their object was here to have made magnetic as well as meteorological observations; but in this they had partly failed for want of instruments. Their plan was similar to that now under consideration in other parts of the world, and as the freights in square-rigged yes -iels to and from India, exceeded 2,000,0001. sterling an nually, had voyages been shortened to the extent only ~f one-third of what Maury had shortened them in ktneric t, a savi- , g of 2 , 0,0001. a year would have been , effected to the shipping interest. 3. " the Physical Geography of the Red Sea," by Dr. G. 13ui:>t, F.R.S., F.R.G.S. The Red Sea is the most remarkable estuary on the surface of the globe ; it is 1,280 miles in length, with a maximum breadth of nearly 200 miles, a circuit of 4,020 miles, and an area of 103,154 miles ; its cubic contents are probably about 800,000 miles ; its greatest depth is 400 fathoms. The mean depth of its axis is about 150 fathoms for about ten miles along mid channel. The neap tides at Aden, Ras Mahommed, and Suez are about five feet ; the spring is about seven feet ; and the rise at the upper end of the sea, by a continued south wind, is about four feet. The temperature and saltness of the Red Sea is ahnost the same as that of the ocean. The evaporation over its surface amounts to about eight feet annually, which seems to be provided for by a strong inward current from the Indian Ocean, a lower current of the water thus concentrated flowing out again through the Gulf of Aden, sweep ing around by Scinde, and so southward, till diluted by deluges of rain from the western shores of India. Crossing again to Africa, it flows northward, and returns to the place whence it came, to give off fresh supplies of vapour to the rainless districts around. The Red Sea is walled in by vast chains of mountains, which, from the eleventh to the sixteenth parallel, and from Aden to 200 males into Abysinia, are volcanic, affording a volcanic field of about 10,000 square miles in area, probably the third largest in the world, a p or ti on o f w hi c h E ' is still active. Gibelteer has been smoking con stantly for the past century, and a violent eruption occurred in the Zebaz islands in 1846. From lat. 16 deg. to Ist. 20 deg., the rocks seem mostly to belong to the vast nummalitic formation, which has been traced from Burmah to the Bay of Biscay in one con tinuous sheet around nearly one-third of the globe. All round the shores of the Red Sea are evidences of a sub mergence and re-emergence of the land, at probably a recent geological period. The volcano of Aden con tains an old sea-beach in its crater. The Isthmus of Suez consisted of gravel and shells, the latter being iden tical with those now found in the seas adjoining, and there is reason to suppose that this part of the shore has risen from six to ten feet within the last three thousand years. Mr. Robert Stephenson has proved, by survey, that the level of the waters of the Mediterranean and the Red Seas is the same, and to all appearance the Bitter Lakes on the isthmus have at one time formed a portion of the sea, though the surface of the waters is now fifty feet below its level. The Gulf of Akabfi, differs remarkably in its characteristics from that of Suez, from which it is separated by the isthmus of Senai. The Wardi-Araba, or valley stretching from the Gulf of AkabA, towards the Dead Sea, appears in part to be an old sea-beach, deeply grooved by torrents, but how ever interesting to the geographer, very little is known of it. The summit-level has been placed in the Transac tions of this society for 1848, at 485 feet, but from the paper by Captain William Allen, of the Royal Navy, in the 23d vol., it is evident that nothing certain is known either about the position or altitude of its divide. From Akabi to the Dead Sea is a distance of about 105 miles, the surface of the latter being 1,350 feet below that of the Mediterranean, and we are alto gether ignorant of th e extent o f the boundari es of this extraordinary depression. It is singular, that though the Red Sea is traversed every week by scores of Eng lishnhen, and though vessels of the Indian navy are con stantly cruizing about in it, or lying at Suez or at Aden, we know less of its physical geography than we do of that of Siberia, the Ural mountains, or some portions of the Arctic regions ; and while the wilds of South America are being carefully explored, a tract of vast importance, associated as it is in our minds with some of the most wonderful events in sacred history, remains utterly neeiected at our doors. Sir R. MURCHISON, in adjourning the meeting to the 24th inst., expressed his great satisfaction in having oc cupied the chair when a memoir, containing so many o.eogranhical data bearing on geology. had been commu- I nirated in so ele.ir and intelligent a manner, and hoped that so ab!e a man as Dr. Buist may be employed in a 1 natural history surrey of the Red Sea, by which we might ! hope in due thee to obtain as accurate an acqeaintatice with it as we have obtained of the Mediterranean, through the researches of Admiral Smyth. As regards Capt. Alien's offer to explore the Wadi Akab4, it was no fault of the society that the exploration had nut long ago been ' undertaken, he (the Chairman) having last year very strongly recommended the uudettaking to the proper authorities. THE LATE _EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN WALWORTH. DISCHARGE OF THREE OF THE PRISONERS WHO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED. It will be recollected that at the Central Criminal Court last week, five persons, named Frederick Norris aliaa Connor, Eliza Bacon, Thomas Brumpton, Richard Hilton, and Samuel Bacon, were tried and convicted of the charge of breaking into and stealing from the house of Mr. Har vey, No. 11, Carter-street, Walworth, 16311. in gold, and 150/. in bank notes. The judge before a w t h t o h m e ttheime prisoners had been tried (Mr. Baron Martin) fully acquiesced in the justice of the sen atenndceti3eandh sen tenced Norri s t o t rans p or t a tion for life, ll' is lordosthier Prisoners to fo ur years ' pena l l a b our each.

Soon after this an order was 1 re ceived at Newgate to discharge the three prisoners, on entering into their own recognisances to surrender and serve their four years imprisonment if called upon. The prisoners accordingly entered into the required bail, and were set at liberty. The two persons who assisted Norris, in effecting the robbery, and who are known to have got the lion's share of the plunder, are still j at large ; and, unfortu nately for the ends of public u,tice, there is nothing can touch them, as there does not appear to be a single tittle of legal evidence to fix them with a participation in the offence. 1,390 8,055 4,762 9,675 1:205,080 SPORTING INTELLIGENCE yra, Bst 71b, agstCount Batthyany *Marquis of Sevigae, r 3 yrs, let 71b. 5 yrs ; Clansman (h h), 5 yrs ; Su.sannall, s.yrs ; Moses, yrs.

Yesterday being Good Friday, according to annual custom, there was the great gathering of the burr,tongued natives of the northern counties of Cumberland and Westmorland at Hornsey Wood House, for the purpose of exhibiting their prowess in the sports of their youth by feats of strength and science in the " back-hold wrestle." As a long residence, however, within the smoke of " the great metropolis" may have in some degree subdued the energies and limited powers of those who long since quitted the scene of their youthful exploits, the com mittee very properly limited the chance of contending for the prizes to such as have lived in London or its neighbourhood for a period of not less than twelve months. This regulation, too, was but an act of justice to those persons who subscribed towards the prizes placed at the disposal of this joint benevolent institu tion. The SALING RACE, T.Y.C., was won in two heats by Mr. Cotgreave's Jullien, 5 yrs (EX), lOst 21b (Charlton), beating Mr. Walker's Telegraph, 4 yrs (101.), 9st 31b (W. White), and three others. The second heat was admirably contested, Jullien winning by a short head ; the same between Telegraph and Lady-in-Waiting, who was third. The winner was afterwards sold to Mr. Topham for 50 guineas. The attendance of company yesterday, was if any thing more numerous than on any former occasion, the weather being all that could be desired, and the ma nagement of the sports as satisfactory as experience could make them. As on a former occasion a spacious stage was erected in the grounds of the tavern, well covered with turf ; the whole being well enclosed by canvas as a protection, if necessary, from unfavourable weather.

It need scarcely be remarked that the Cumberland and Westmoreland wrestling is entirely free from any thing coarse or brutal, as contradistinguislaed from the mode adopted in other countries, and affords but a fair trial of the skill of the different competitors. The sports commenced with prizes for light weights— viz., for the first man, Si. ; second, 4/. ; third, 2/. fourth, 2/. ; fifth, 2/. ; and sixth, seventh, and eighth, 11. FIRST ROUND. Stood. Fell.

Too much praise can scarcely be given to Mr. Marget son, the secretary, for his exertions in securing order in the proceedings. AQUATICS.-LONDON UNITY CLUB. The opening match of the season of the London Unity Club came off yesterday, and was very largely attended by the St. John's and other Tradesmen's Clubs, The following started : BLUE.--Messrs. Walker, Fisher, Knight, Treeby Jerviß, coxswain. WHlTE.—Messrs. Jones, Shelton, Mining, Huntley T. Moreton, coxswain. RFD.—Messrs. Sanderson, Miller, Sheppard, Burrows W. Moreton, coxswain. GREEN. —Messrs. Bain, Dimes, Lockett, Percy ; Freechy, coxswain. The distance was from Putney to Lambeth Palace, and the men started at 5 o'clock. They all got off well together from the bridge, green taking the lead down to the Feathers ; red, second ; white, closely third ; and blue, fourth. Immediately after a change occurred, red passed green, blue doing diito to green, and white last. In this order they finished, red ultimately winning by four lengths. [ADVERTISEIIENT.]—Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, for valuable and extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race course, Opera, and Perspective Gl asses , to know the distances of objects viewed through them—of great im portance to the army, navy, and others. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe—opposite the York Hotel.—These telescopes pos sess such extraordinary powers that some, 3 inches, with an extra eye piece, will show distinctly Jupit er ' s moons, Saturn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same tele scope can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly.— The Royal Exhibition, 1851. - Valuable, newly invented, very small, powerful waistcoat-pocket glass the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known 1 mile distant ; they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera-houses, country sce nery, and ships aro clearly seen at 12 to 14 miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera, race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful power ' • an object can be clearly seen f rom 10 to 12 m i les distant. Newly-invented Spectacles ; immediately they are placed before extremely imperfect vision, every object becomes clear and distinct; the most aged, de fective sight is brought to its youthful, natural, and ori ginal state. Deafness--New Discovery—The Organic Vi brator, an extraordinary powerful, small, newly-invented instrument, for Deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or pro bably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptibl e ; it ena bl e s deaf persons to hear distinctly ! at church and at public as semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe, opposit e th e Y or k Hotel. [ADVEIITISEMENT.]—A most interesting recovery from a vast com plication of diseases, without the aid of medicine, is recirded in toe following letter: " Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854. Grateful for the benefit I have derived from Du Barry's Revs. lenta Arabica Food, I feel it my duty to express to you my unfeigned thanks for the invariable kindness have met with at your hands. My case is an extraordinary one, and as it may benefit other suf ferers I think it but right to place its details at your disposal. I have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangements, deafness, singing in the ears, consti pation, debility, shortness of breath and cough, and during that period taken so much medicine that I can safely say I have laid out upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemist's and doctor's. I have actually worn out two medical men during my ailments without find ing any improvement in my health. Indeed I was in utter despair and never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your Revadenta Arabiea, which, Heaven be praised, restored Me to a state of health which 1. long since despaired of attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right, my hearing perfect, and nay recovery is a marvel to all my acquain- tances.—l am, respiletlbby, s , ,,L4Nes ROBERTS, Wood Me• chant."
