MO N Y V' A " LI :‘4l. .;_=, AND COM M :MC/AL INTELL IGENC.E. CITY, TV; 0 o'CLOCK The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 1,500 American taken for export and on speculation. The market was steady, and closed without change in prices. The sales comprised 5,500 American, 400 Pernam and Maranliam at SV. to 7d. ; 600 Egyptian at to Bd. ; 1,000 Surat at 3d. to ; and 300 Sea Island at lid. to is. 11d. per lb. Railway shares were firmer. For most articles of consumption full prices have been realised this week. Although the aggregate business has not been large there has been more inquiry for particular articles. Tea has been in request since the Overland Mail arrived, and has recovered from the previous tendency to decline. The deliveries from the bonded warehouses of the United. Kingdom for the year ended the sth April last are officially returned at 55,549,4541 b., and . the amount of duty thereon at 5,181,9081. Rice has been held for advanced rates, and this has checked the demand. The accounts from America state that great injury had been occasioned to many of the plantations by the storms that had occurred. Tallow has been fluctuating, and tend ing downwards. In cotton there has been a fair business. Saltpetre has had a readier sale, and Cochineal is.higher for silvers. Cocoa has been in request. Spices have not been largely dealt in. Sugar has been moderately purchased, and Coffee has been firm, but not active. Rum has been bigher. We hear very loud complaints among the mercantile community at the non-receipt of the otters, supposed to be a large quantity, brought by the ship Eagle from Melbourne. This fast sailing ship left Australia on the 30th June, and her advices would be very acceptable, as supplying dates two or three weeks later than anything we have yet had, and enabling exporters to trace dis tinctly the course of the markets up to the period of the later advices, which will reach on Monday, by the Overland Mail. As the Egle was tele graphed off Holyhead the day before yesterday, it is thought that, by a little exertion on the part of those who are usually held responsible for the prompt forwarding of the mails, they might have been distributed in London yesterday. Some are of opinion that an effort should have been made to send them ashore at Holyhead, while others contend that, at least, a tug should have gone to meet the ship and bring her letter bags to Liverpool. Whether the captain, the owners, or the Post office authori ties are to blame, it is impossible for us, in the absence of fuller information, to determine ; but as the same thing has happened before in the case of clipper ships arriving at Liverpool, it is very natural that the nterchants hero should almost universally complain, while we trust that their complaints will meet either with future attention, or lead at pre sent to a satisfactory explanation. In a colonial contemporary, appear the following remarks upon a new law of the New South Wales Legislature : " We notice in the Sydney papers a shameful case conn ected with the M as ter and Servant's Act 'of that colony. A poor Chinaman had been induced to sign an agreement for service for five years. Finding, perhaps, that he could do better as he became a cquainted with the country, he negl ected strictly to fulfil the,ag for so long a period of slavery at low wages, and was in consequence brought before the magistrates, who forth• with sentenced him to a month's imprisonment, and then return to his servitude. His master gave as a reason for enforcing the agreement, that he treated his Chinamen kindly.' So does a Yankee slaveowner his Wavosl, if he be a wise man, and wish to make a good profit out of them. It is disgraceful that ignorant foreigners should be entrapped under such an abomi nable system. At the same sitting of magistrates, an Englishman was sentenced to three. months' imprison ment for refusing to work under his agreement, and then to return to work, his time of imprisonment not counting in the agreement. Emigrants signing such ne-reements may judge from this what is before them in Sydney if they are dissatisfied and neglect to fulfil their coutracts. Keeping a single Saint Monday brings down the imprisonment. The poor Chinaman was charged with nothing more than ' being absent on the 4th inst.' This was his crime—he had taken a holiday. This in fildney is penal. And yet New South Wales is a British .olony, the humane press of which writes down Ameri can slavery." - The business done in American Securities has slightly increased, and .the quotations given by Messrs.

CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of home-grown wheat were very moderate, but of good quality. The show of samples was by no means extensive. Most kinds were in fair re quest, at prices about equal to Monday last. The show of foreign wheat was comparatively small. Good heavy qualities were on steady demand, at full quo tations. Low and middling parcels moved off slowly, on former terms.. Floating cargoes of grain were quite as dear as last week. Grinding barley was firm ; but other kinds were a dull inquiry. The malt trade was steady at Monday's currency. There was a slight improvement in the demand for oats, and good sound corn waa the turn dearer. Beans, peas, and flour realised full currencies.

We were moderately supplied with beasts to-day, but their general quality was inferior. Most kinds moved off steadily, and Monday's prices were well supported. Sheep, the show of which was tolerably good, wore a dull sale; yet we have no actual decline to notice in the quotations. The supply of calves was far from extensive. The ♦eal trade, however, was inactive, and inferior calves had a downward tendency. Pigs sold slowly, on former terms. Milch cows were dull, at from 11/. to 191. each, including their small calf.

A few days ago the count left his palace to proceed to Lille, to carry to the Receiver-General's office a parcel, containing notes and other securities to the amount of 40,000 f. When starting, Mensehikoff appeared resolved to accompany his master, who was at last obliged to beat him back with his cane. When the count arrived at Lille he found that he had lost his parcel. Much alarmed, he proceeded to search for it on the road by which he had come. There, at a little distance, stood Menschikoff, gently wagging his tail, but not daring to advance, from his reminiscence of the count's cane. In his mouth was the precious parcel, which he had picked up, and was faithfully carrying to his master.—aalloani, THE WAR, .NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. We learn by electric telegraph from Plymouth that her Majesty's ship Alg:f.rs, 91 guns, sailed from Plymouth Sound at noon yesterday for the Black Sea. The Hornet, 22 guns, repairing at Keyham Dock, will probably leave on Saturday morning for the Cape of Good Hope, the East Indies, and China. Her Majesty's steamer Viper, from Sheerness, arrived at Deal yesterday and proceeded down Channel. The transport-ship No. 105, and Herefordshire, from Cherbourg, for Woolwich, passed through the Downs yes terday morning at six o'clock. The Janus sailed yesterday for Sheerness ; her defects having been completed. Timothy Jennings (1840), recently serving in the.Wel lesloy, 72, guard-ship in ordinary, has been appointad clerk to the St. Vincent, 102, at Portsmouth. CAPTURE OF MORE RUSSIAN SHIPS. Advices were received yesterday, under date Memel, September 24, that her 31ajestr's steamers Archer and Amphion had captured no less than 20 Russian coasting vessels, laden with grain, and rags for the manufacture of paper. The Revenue cruiser Lively has taken a Russian prize, called the Goth, into Hull. Another Russian vessel, called the Furst Beckhoff Albrecht, has been seized by the Cus toms' officers of Dundee with simulated papers. MoxTr.osE, September 21.—Thu Bognoja Medascbda (schooner), Manthorp, It.N., in charge, prize to her Ma jesty's steamer Miranda, and bound from Kola to Sim:r ile-6s, put in hare to-day for supplies and a pilot. Sho parted company with the Dwina (prize) on the 4th, off the North Cape, in a gale from the west. The latter may be expected up soon. THE EXPERIMENTS ON BOARD THE EXCELLENT. The gunnery experiments from the stage off the Excel lent in Portsmouth Harbour at the iron target placed at the butt (GOO yards range) were continued yesterday in the presence of Admirals Berkeley, Sir T. Cochrane, Martin, Captain Sir B. Walker, Sir T. Maitland, and a number of scientific gentlemen. The gun was a 95 cwt. gun, of 8-inch bore, with charges of Mb. of powder. The practice much surpassed that previously reported, and many of the shot on striking the iron . target were broken to atoms. The shots striking the woodwork made very good effect. Twice during the practice the admirals in their barges went and inspected the results, and found tho target deeply indent ed—a great increase upon the indentation of one inch and. a-half made by the firing of the 33-pound ehot on the pre ceding day. ARRIVALS, AT MALTA. A letter from Malta, dated the 21st of September, says,— " The Beagle gunboat arrived hero yesterday, and will leave in the afternoon for the East. The Arrow gunboat sailed on Sunday. The Harpy, from the Eastern fleet, reached Constantinople on the 15th. The Caire was de spatched with her news without loss of time, and the Euphrates, ready in Malta, proceeded to Marseilles imme diately after the arrival of the Caire." This letter proceeds to give the following version of the landing of the allied troops in the Crimea : "The allied fleets (ono division) left Baltschik on the sth and 6th inst., the second division on the 9th. The Serpent's Isle was fixed as a place of rendezvous. This they all reached on the 10th, and on the 11th got under• way for the Crimea, with 32,000 French, 25,000 English, and 13,000 Turks on board, and on the 13th, at 10 a.m., came to anchor in deep water in the Bay of Dalmatia, op poeite the town and citadel of Koslov, Eupatoria, 30 miles north of Sebastopol. When the steamer left, 4,003 men had landed. The citadel was taken possession of without opposition, and the disembarking of the remainder of the troops was proceeding rapidly." RECRUITING FOR THE ROYAL MARINES. A recruiting party of the Royal Marines is at present engaged on that service at Leighton Buzzard and in the surrounding districts, but with indifferent success, in con sequence of the harvest operations affording the young men present employment. THE. MILITIA AND YEOMANRY. That portion of the Derbyshire Yeomanry Cavalry from Repton and Gresley have just completed their seven days' training at Derby, under the command of Captain Clive. Previous to being dismissed, they were reviewed by Lieu tenant-Colonel Unett. The colonel expressed his approval of the manner in which the troops wont through the ma- na3uvrep. The 2d Regiment of Cheshire Militia, Lieutenant-Colonel Davenport, commandant, out at Chester, are now in their fourth week's training. The men have a very soldier-like appearance, and go through the manoeuvres with precision. They are to be reviewed by the district commanding officer early next week. The Queen's Own Royal Staffordshire Yeomanry Cavalry muster for seven days' training to-morrow, at Lichfield. QUEEN'S COLLEGE, BIRMINGITAM.

MONUMENT TO SIR ISAAC NEWTON.—The occasion of the British Association meeting this year has been thought an appropriate one for a meeting in furtherance of the erection of a monument to Sir Isaac Newton at Grantham, where the great philosopher •was educated, and near to which ptace he was born. About 1,3001. have already been collected, her Majesty, Prince Albert, Lord Brougham, Earl-Fitzwiiliarn; Earl Granville, Earl Brownlow, the Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Yarborough; Lord Wrottesley, the Marquis of Westminster, the Bishop of Durham, and large num bers of men of science and others, being among the sub scribers. ASSISTING THE BOAItD OF •lIRALTII. A vestry meet ing was held at St. Paul's, Oavent-garden, yesterday evening, fur the purpose of considering a letter from Lord Palmerston to the churchwardens, recommending that the surface of the burial-ground be covered with quick lime ; and of expressing an opinion as to the expediency of laying flat on the ground the various head and foot storms in the churchyard. The chair was occupied by the rector, the Rev. H. Hutton, M.A. The vestry deemed the proposition of the noble Secretary of the Home Depart ment unnecessary for many reasons ; particularly as the health of the parish, duiing the prevalence of the epidemic, had been comparatively good. A long discussion ensued, the feeling being almost unanimous against the use of limo ; and the more so, as the inhabitants surrounding the ground had made no complaint of a nuisance. It was resolved that the churchyard Should not be co vered with lime. On the vestry proceeding to consider the question of laying flat on the ground the various head and foot stones in the yard, Mr. Fen stated that the vestry would only have to give an opinion, as legal difficulties might arise on the subject. The vestry ulti mately resolved that it was desirable that the bead and foot-stones of the churchyard should be laid flat ; and further resolved that counsel's opinion should be taken as to the legality of the step. POOR LAW UNION PRICES OP PROVISIONS AND FURL. --Yesterday, the Board of Guardians of the Holborn Union met at the Workhouse, Mr. J. S. S. Hopwood in the chair, to receive tenders for supplying the Union Workhouse with provisions for the ensuing three months, whed contracts were entered into for supplies of the fol lowing articles at the prices specified :--Wheaten bread, made of the best No. 2 flour (about four tons per week required), 14s. 6d. per cwt. (6d. and the fraction of a farthing por 41b. loaf) ; flour, of like quality, 19s. per cwt. •, meat, of the best quality, about 1,2001b5. weight weekly, consisting of clods, chucks, leg of mutton pieces, thick flanks of ox beef, and rounds of ox beef, free from bone, 4s. per stone of 81bs. ; legs and shins of ox beef, ls. 7d. per stone of 81bs. ; joints for the officers' table, 4s. per stone ; congou tea, 2s. 6d. per lb. ; raw sugar, 325. per cwt. ; Carolina rice, 14s. per cwt. ; cocoa, 4id. per lb. ; pepper, ls. 3d. per lb. ; and mustard, 6d. per lb. ; butter, 2d Cork, 4/.

Is. per ton ; coke, 15s. per chaldron. AUSTRALIAN SHIPS.-As the Overland mail has brought advices to the 25th July, the greatest anxiety prevails for the receipt of the Australian letters. This anxiety is enhanced by the hope that the advices will report the arrival at Melbo,urne of the two cele brated American clippers-the Red Jacket, Captain Reed, belonging to the White Star line ' • and the Light ning, Captain James Nicol Forbes, of Messrs. James I, Baines and Co.'s Black Ball line-the former of which sailed on the 4th of May, and was, therefore, 82 days out ; and the latter on the 14th of the same month, and wits consequently 72 days from Liverpool. Several bets for largo amounts are laid on each ship, and the greatest interest is felt. by all classes in the passages of these crack vessels. MANUFACTURE OF STEEL.-A. meeting of some of the principal iron masters is said to have been proposed in London, with the view of their appointing a commis sion to test the value of a new patent process for the manufacture of steel, lately introduced into France by M. Adrian Chenot. M. Chenot asserts that b y hi s system, which principally consists in an application of electricity, he can produce steel of a superior quality at less than a third of its ptesen't cost, - and in one-fourth of the time now required. Some quantities of this steel are stated to have been already delivered to French manufacturers. THE CZAR OF. ALL THE BUSSIAS. (From the Constitutionne.) It is impossible to express the profound surprise into which Russia has drawn Europe. One would—be tempted to compare her at one time to floating sticks, which at a distance are something, but near are nothing; at another to phantoms,. which the imagination enlarges in the obscurity, and which dissolve away wheh daylight appears. What .has become at present of the prestige which enveloped her ? Where is, then, that formidable power, that irresistible foreawhieh was so long attributed to her ? There were id our days two ,giants,,or rather two speetret4; which vieie equally' dreaded from not being looked at. steadily in the face—Socialism, which terrified society, *h ose e xistence it attacked ; and Russia, who intimidated Europe, whose independence she menaced . .. With Socialism order at home was constantly in peril-; with Russia, peace abroad was at the mercy of one man. Napoleon 111, marched resolutely on the phan tom of Socialism, and it vanished, order being re-esta bhshedon the eter na l b as i s of religion, ' family, and pro perty. He is at present marchi ng w ith th e sa m e calm, the same severity of mind, and the same firmness, on the phantom of Russia, and already that pbantam has so declined in the ey es o f th e world, that the assertion may be boldly made that it i s a b out to disappear, leaving peace established on th e i mmuta b le foundation' of p ro gress, justice, and right. Fifteen months ago, whenthe armies of the Czar, violati ng a ll di vine laws, ' trampling under foot all human engagem en t s , an d placing right in force, passed the Froth, and ma rc h e d on the Danub e t° seize on Moldavia and Walla c hi a , w h o entertained a doubt that they would sweep away all o b s t ac l es and over turn ali barriers? Who doubted their superiority . )ver the forces of the Sultan ? Already every one len:seined them at the foot of the Balkans. Admiration was felt for the patriotic devotedness and sublime heroism of the Ottoman soldiers, marching without hesitation to a de feat considered inevitable, and to certain death. No one ever imagined, with the idea which was entertained of the weakness of Turkey, and of the strength of Rus sia, that the victory could be fur an instant doubtful between them. But nothing of what was anticipated has happened. Each new combat has been for the Russians a new defeat, and men are obliged to ask each other at present how it has come to pass that there has been so much want of skill, or so much ill fortune on the side of the generals, and so little enthusiasm and vigoar on the side of the soldiers. The armies of the Czar, commanded, however, by re inewned chiefs, provided with a considerable materiel of war, and formed of chosen troops, have been beaten at Oltenitza, Kalafat, Silistria, and Giurgevo ; beaten everywhere and always by the armies of the Sultan, who have become the admiration of Europe, delighted to applaud their triumph. Never, certainly, was a more humiliating campaign made than the recent one of Prince Paskiewitseh in the Danubian Principali ties. The faith in the Russian power was, however,. so deeply rooted in men's minds that the shameful checks of the campaign on the Danube were attributed to anything else than the real weakness of an army, which is fighting neither for its independence, nor for right, nor justice, which in fact fights under the empire of constraint, without enthusiasm, patriotism, conviction, or energy. It is supposed that the Czar would take a striking revenge in the Crimea ; that Prince Menschikoff would avenge Prince Paskie witsch, and that Russia, although succumbing, would do so, there at least, with great eclat, and in show ing that she was not entirely unworthy of the opinion which had been formed of her. There was in the port of Sebastopol a powerful fleet, which, with well appointed armies, would, it was pretended, pro-. ceed in the Black Sea, and on the magnificent plains of the Crimea to meet with boldness the united forces of France, England, and Turkey. Another surprise for Europe, which at length knows what the power of Russia is worth when weighed in the balance of truth. This formidable army of 60,000 men, which was to have been at the disposal of Prince Menschikoff on the plains of the Crimea, scarcely amounts to 50,000 men, and that envoy of the Czar, that Admiral-Minister, that General-Ambassador, who showed himself so haughty at Constantinople, has not even attempted a semblance of resistance to the landing of the allied armies. He keeps himself modestly on the defensive, under shelter of his entrenched camps and his forts, giving up without a combat to the soldiers of France and England all the points of the coast, and preparing not to conquer or to die, but to destroy Sebastopol and the fleet, for Russia is still in 1854 thinking of the expe dients of 1812. The weapon which she best understands is the torch which lighted Moscow ; and not being able to gain victories, she wishes at least to produce a heap of ruins. The Czar of all the Russias, who has been represented to be so groat and so strong, is reduced to playing the part of Erostrates ! What a fall. TEE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. The Courrier de l'Eure publishes another letter from the Ile d'Aix, on the subject of the Russian prisoners. We extract as follows: "I cannot ray too much of the docility, mildness, and submission of the Russian soldiers. They are at liberty to move about in the island, under the condition of an swering.to their names when called over three times a day, twice at meals, and a third time in the middle of the day. They submit without difficulty to the duties imposed on them. What is most remarkable is the disdain with which they are treated by their officers ; the latter scarcely give them a look, notwithstanding the respect ful, nay, servile attitude, which the soldiers assume at their approach. They appear quite delighted when we return by a movement of the head the salutation which they give us in passing. Before alluding to the officers, on whom I have some serious observations to make, I will say a few words of the females. With regard to their dress, they are quite as coquetish as the French women. They wear flounced dresses, silk mantles, handkerchiefs very neatly arranged at the back of the bead, and small shoes, showing a pretty foot and ankle, covered with a stocking, very white, and carefully drawn on. The majority of them have good teeth, and lightish hair, very fine and silky. One only amongst the number, a Jewess by origin, has very black hair. The children are kept very clean, and well dressed. The soldiers appear very well contented with their situation, and fraternise very cordially with our troops. Several of the latter have already turned professors of the French language, and teach their pupils all the slang of the camps and the barrack. It is really curious to be present and see them taking their lessons. We have made acquaintance with the Russian officers, to whom we give a very cordial reception. They accepted an invitation, and came in full uniform. During the whole evening the conversation was very animated, and their information has enlightened us on many points which were before obscure or doubtful to us. We found En' difficulty in talking on political questions, and had no fear of either wounding their feelings, or of having ours wounded by them. M. Furtheim, the civil governor, who is 'officer in the Im perial guard, appeared much touched at our courtesy to. wards him. 'We are only machines of war,' he said to, me, ' once off the field of battle we have no longer ene mies, we have only brothers, as every religion prescribes.' The colonel appears to be a well-informed man, particu larly in matters relating to gunnery ; he is well ac quainted with all the weapons we use, and highly praises the carabines of our Cha,sseurs, which he considers far superior to those of the Russians, although the latter are lighter and shorter. Ono of the most distinguished among the officers is Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander Kranshold, of the Engineers, who had organised the de fence of Bomarsund. Ile speaks French very well and without the slightest foreign accent. He related to me that the system of fortifications which it had been pro posed to construct at Bomarsund would have been the most formidable, and would have been composed of fif teen towers, united together by a wall with triple bas tions of granite. What impeded the works of defence was, he said, an order given by the Emperor that, even in the event of the most pressing danger, the foundations of the fortifications should not bo touched. In conse quence of this order, the approaches to the place could net be broken,up, and our breaching batteries were able to place themselves in positions favourable to the attack, and out of the reach of the Russian guns. He mentions the fact of General Niel having been seen reconnoitring the site for the battery which attacked the principal tower, and could not under.tand by what miracle he es caped the shower of grape shot Which was discharged at him." ge THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER."—The Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society has just published the number for October (completing the first volume) of the above work, which is issued quar terly. It contains, in addition to its usual amount of interesting matter, accounts of proceedings of a num ber of societies on the coast and elsewhere, established for the benefit of the sailor. The Shipwrecked Mariner has now obtained an extensive circulation, and we are happy to learn from its pages that the statements it con tains have gained for the society many new supporters ; and we are not surprised at this, for no one acquainted with the workings of this great national society can fail to give it every support in his power, and to wish it God speed in its humane exertions for the relief of our gallant seamen, their widows and children. Norinfamtm.—The slight movement perceptible in lace has been confirmed, and the autumn home trade may therefore be regarded as having set in, although somewhat later than usual. Hosiery business, however, owing to the depressing reports of the United States and Canadian harvests, has assumed a somewhat less propi tious aspect since the date of our last report ; whilst the home transactions are precisely at that ebb when nobody inclines to continue summer purchases, or for some time to come to place winter orders. Still prices continue firm, and the employed refuse to relax their rites. — Notts Guardian.

THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHABIt Sept. 28.—As was anticipated, the preliminary meeting of the ironmastera, held here to-day, has resulted in a determination to maintain the present prices. Besides the comparative buoyant state of tho trade, this resolution might have been expected from the circumstance that the bulk pf the orders now coming in are for railways, ship-building, . and other heavy purposes, and are, consequently, such as are chiefly taken by the larger manufacturers, by whom these resolutions are controlled. It may have also . been influenced by the circumstance that pigs ;laving, lately fallen 10s. per ton, the smaller Makers will probe -1 bly accept orders under the list prices, as, indeed, is nearly the case. 6! 10 a: 20 a] 5 a] 10 a 1 St. a] St. 1O St. 10 St. 10 St. LO 8 a 10 a 10 a St. 1 13l 2) a 10 I al 111 a , 12A al 121 i li St. 11.0 St. 110 16 1 843 al 10 - 1 4 25 al 10 1 L. 0.0 St. 101 20 al 20 al 20 1 1 25 al 25 1 12L,1 a] I. 1 al 10b.1 al 1 aA 1 al 1 'al 1 Itl 30 20 I 1 St. I a 25 d 5 a; 50 a , 15 al 30 L 1 al 10 7 281 a) hla• 25 l' 20 10 50 14 100 I 3!

An outline of the circumstances connected witk certain- discoveries of oopper, which have—lately caused great excitement at the Cape of Good Hope, was given in. The Sup, The subjoined document is one of those presented by the Governor to the Lcgislattire pf the - cOlony on'tte sub4ect, and pur ports to details of the latest observations . made . during an inspection.of .the district: 11i June last by. Mr. A...G, Bain, a prafessional,geologist. The territory in Anestion is called Namaqualand, and was incorpare.ted,?yitlii,he division of Clanwil ham, which forms 'the nbrthern part of the Cape ' •colony, - - •during the administration of Sir - Harry Smith: • From its -florid charactet, the report of Mr. Bain recalls the announcements by which de lusions *were . spread regarding similar discoveries is Nova Scotia and Jamaica a year or two back, and / if unsupported by extensive collat era l testi mony, it would, as the public ou this side.have no means of estimating the ability ortrustworthi ness of the writer, challenge little attention. The existence of these miuee, however, has in some degree been known for . more than a century, and, although the wild and uninhabitable nature of the country has prevented until lately any general exploration, shipments of ore in increasi ng quantities bare now — been in progress for two or three - years : "His Honour the Lieut., naut-Govern or having expressed a desire to be furnished with :a written aceount of the geo logy of Namaqualand. from . Ivhich country I have lately returned, and that I should effer any suggestions likely to b 3 Public. utility in the 'altered circumstances of th a t remote p ar e o f t h e co l onY , I most willingly comply. At the same time, I must premise that my visit to,the copper mines was such a hurried one that I was precluded from making s uc h careful observa ll °ll of the c oun t ry wished. The following of the geological features as I could have must theref ore b e considered as a very roug h s k etc h ; yet, as containing the opinion of a geologist, it may be of some value at this crisis, when so many conflicting ac counts are in circulation respecting that now highly in. tereating territory. "Having had some professional duties to perform in the division of Clanwilliam, I took that opportunity of making a hasty trip to the copper mines of Namaqualand, princi pally with a view of filling of South Africa. up a gap in m y geo logical map "Entering Namaqualand, and approaching the copper regions, the roads become steep and undulating, though of such a nature as easily t o b e converted into good' ones. Leaving the Kamies B e r gen b e hi n d, we descend l3y a very tortuous route to the missionary's station of g ee:azzes , a wretched-looking place, a s f ar as b u ildi ngs go, there being only the missionary's house and one or two other small walled houses, the rest being merely a Namaqua kraal, consisting of a few mat lints. There is, however, a beauti ful little stream of fresh water, the first I had seen in Namaqualand, which will doubtless fix this locality as the future capital of the mining regions. "Twenty miles' ride in a north-easterly direction from Kamaggas brings us' o Mosars'. Phillips and King's cele brated 'Spec takel, Situated near the confluence of the Kousie and Schaap Rivera. ' Hero the surface indications are very strong, the green carbonate of copper boiling out, as it were, through the gneiss rocks in all directions. " This mine, or rather quarry (for it resembles the latter more than the former), has been tvorkegl to the depth of about 20 feet, and on descending into it it presents, on the northern side, . exactly the appearance which g eo l og i s t s ca ll an anticlinal axis.' It is one mass of green carbonate and brown oxide of copper, with only some thin strata of gneiss intervening, which latter distinctly shows the shape of the anticlinal arch. The bottom of the mineoonsists of a round mass of gneiss, without any appearance of ore ; yet the miners told me that they intended to .blast through it, as rich beds of ore would b e f oun d below, so that there is no telling to what depth they may go. There are large heaps of valuable ore thrown away at the entrance of the mine, which, on account of the heavy land carriage to Hondeklip bay, will not pay to ship to England. " The ore sent away generally yields about 45 per cent. of copper on an average, and I was assured, on the best authority, that one miner and two assistants will quarry and prepare for shipment a ton a-day. This, when worked on a largo scale, ought to pay well, being worth nearly 401. per ton. "In this neighbourhood are numerous mines, many of them exceedingly rich in surface indications, but none of them has yet been worked, except one of Mr. Daniel's. "Mining in South Africa is so different from what it is in Europe that many of the best miners frequently find themselves at fault, for when they imagine they are work ing in a vein or lode, to their surprise they find they are in a quarry of unbounded mineral riches. " Leaving the mining district of Schaap and Kousie rivers, where Mr. J. 0. Smith and many others are the fortunate lessees of the richest and most promising mines of the country, I ascended the Spectakel' Mountain to visit the mines of Springbock Fontein, the property of Messrs. Phillips and King. On the way I saw several in dications of copper, and from the mountain's summit had a beautiful view of the surrounding country. "It has generally been reported that no other rock but granite was to be found in Namaqualand, but from this mountain I could distinctly see three different geolo gical formations—viz., granite, gneiss, and micha schist, an regular sequence. " In speaking of the different formations to be found in Namaqualand, I may observe that all the copper mines I have met with are invariably situated about the junction of the granite and gneiss rocks, and never, so far as I am aware, has any indication of copper been found there in the micha schist. Unfortunately the lots of many persons, whose leases of ' mineral centres' from Government were chosen because they wore near to those known to be rich, are in the mica schist, and consequentlygood for nothing. " Springbock Fontein is situated about four hours' ride on horseback beyond Spectakel. Bare amorphous granite mountains evirywhere rear their naked heads above their rugged bases of gneiss , the former without a fi ssure or crack, and perfectly destitute of vegetation, if we except some patches of red and blown lichens. " The mines are situated in rather a pleasant valley (an oasis in the desert), and hero we already;behold the nucleus of a rapidly rising village. " It has been said that Namaqualand is perfectly desti tute 2f water, but by sinking here to the depth of a few feet the best of water has been procured : and, from the geological construction of the country, I feel certain that by digging to a very slight depth good water will be sure to be found in every valley. " The mines hero differ little, save in shape, from that. of Spectakel ; like the latter, the external indications are exceedingly rich, and only want common quarrymen to work them, except. for the selection of exportable ore. Specimens of ore, containing 75 per cent. of copper, are frequently picked up on the surface. Malachite, blue car bonate of copper, and minute particles of gold, are also found, but the latter, when the copper ore is so rich and easily obtained, is not worth looking after. " On this farm is the celebrated Copperberg, which has appeared on our maps f.-r the last 70 years, and whose riches are quite astounding. " From Springbock I took a trip to the borders of the Bushman land, Where several , copper Lanes have also lately been discovered. The mountains • here begin to diminish until the whole country stretches out into one interminable bare granite pleitr, upwards of 3.000 feet above the sea level. To this country the Name sualand farmers invariably `trek' with their flocks and herds after the first rains of February, March, or April, where they find rich pasturage for their cattle, 'which fatten in an incredibly short time. They return again in May or June to plough and winter at their , homes. . "I next visited the mines of Prince, Collison, Watson, and Co. at a place calthu • Concordia. These are also ex ceedingly rich, but, unlike the others, had something of the appearance of immense ;odes runningln an easterly and westerly direction; yet, fr.'m their length, breadth, and depth, seeming ieexheilitible. Hero I saw some of the richest and most beautiful specimens of copper pyrites, peacock, and malachite. &e., that I had anywhere met with. For miles around strong indications of copper everywhere appear ; and a large village is in the course of construction. Much activity prevails here, as well as at Phillips and King's mines, but more in the way of build ing than of mining, as transport to the coast is not at pre sent to be obtained, even at very high prices. " I regret that circumstances would not permit me to visit Steinkopf and the Orange River, though so near to both, as many of the richest mines are, I am told, ab ou t those localities, some of which at the latter place are being worked to great advantage. "Namaqualand has hitherto been considered by the. colonists as an arid, woehless waste ; but, fortunately for us, Sir Harry Smith, a few years ago, extended the boun dary from the Kousie to the Orange River, and thus was this contemned country included within the colony. "When a beer has from3o,ooo to 40,000 acres of land, as is now commonly the (ewe, little improvement can be ex peeled. Let the farniabo cultivated and the mines opened, and it will be found that. Namaqualand contains more real wealth than the whole ' colony put together, for I have little doubt that ell thi country from the Olifants River to the Orange River at ounclii in mineral wealth, and only wants to be thoroughly e x pl ore d to develope its riches. The general physical a pp earance o f the country is, on the whole, not unlike that ef-tire neighbourhood of Cape Town, only the mountains of the former are granite and gneiss, while the latter are sandstone and claystone ; still we have the same range of mountains running parallel to the coast; with the same sandy plains intervening. " Without some grand improvements in the roads, tke mining companies never can advanoe. Hundreds of tons p of ore are no w lyi ng at the di ff erent mines , wh i ch the pro prietors cannot g e t conveyed to th e coas t a t an y p rice . The distance f rom Hondekli bay to Kamaggas is between 30 and 40 mil es, t h e whole being a nearly level sandy flat. To make this plain available for easy transport, one line of tramway for horse traction might be laid down on the most economical principles lately introduced into England and America. To effect this, the different mining com panies should engage a company in England to law down the tram wa y each ensuring the said company a certain , number of feeds per annum , which they could very easily do, as so on a. •e:„ • they mineral qua__ad opened a small portion of th e i r .T lead transport would then amount to one - t hi r d of its present price, and much av a il a bl e ore w hi c h i s new t urown away would become availabl e f or expertation. The subjoined memorandum is from the Agua Fria Company "The Agua Fria t,'-old Mining Company have received a dvices to the 14th of August of the shipment of 201. ounces of gold. Of this 198 i ounces were obtained from Steptoe's vein, the new discovery at Agna Fria, of which 1,220 feet in length had been leased fur three months, with option of renewal, on paying $lO per ton for 'all quartz brought thence to the mill. "The remittance from Gold-hill was 921 ounces, the milt having done but little work, from want of water and other causes. They were to commence working below the water level the sepia week, and trials had been mad e of samples from the different places they were working, which were satisfactory." DISCOVERY QF GOLD IN CORNWALL.—SALTASH.— This ancient borough was aroused from its usual quiet as early as seven o'clock yesterday morning, by the ar rival of 10 waggons, under a regular escort, laden, as the story went, with gold dust.
