BRAZILIAN GOLD MINES. . (THIS DAY.) A meeting nc-,pe,.hylders shares the Cata Branca (Brazils) Gold, Mining Company was held at the office of Society, ,Broad-street-buildings,, at half-past oneAls ,day ! for .the purpose of receiving the half-yearly,report of the.,Pirectors; George Hay theme, Lsq., m the chair, After readinii,the .edyettisealant oonvening the meeting, the Secretary proceeded to read the report, by which it appeared that there had been a decrease in the quantity, of gold produced from the " lode" during the last half, -year, in comparison with that produced from :a similar,.qukrit#y„ of lode in the year 1840, and those', intervening. . The rate of the produce of the,gold,,in the ygax t ,l£l4o, as compared with the lode;,,w,p-.074 lbs., of gold for 18,230 tons of lode, while,,,in the - lasqtalf-year it was only 1541b5. of gold f0r.,7,900 tops of lode, being a falling off in this proportion of abo4 23 to 51. The cause of the decrease Icas:atlyibuted; by those who were deputed.to, examine intOTit; the tact of what is technically termed a "Slide" running longitudinally through the bed - of Thile.atl4 stpVe '442 degrees, by which the quality ofs p the productixetarth was consi-, derably deterioritted. - to C".Ciatiterect" this, it became necessary to sink a bell shaft to the depth of 100 fathoms, and now they found a con.siMrable improve ment in the quality_ of the, lode. - The excavated earth, earth, by the usual process, producedas much gold a s covered the expenses of working the . shaft. The Directors had deenied that it 'would be advisable't6 make a call on. the SharehOlaerS but they had re . frained from doing so as yet; and made themselves liable to 8,000/.:debt: - On the molira, seconded by Mi.: WRAY the report Ivas., adopted,: and ordered to be printed for circulatwn;:.o . ter which a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and one of confidence' in the Direc tory, were passeg, epirated. • SPIRIT of the PUBLIC 'YOURNALS.

It is;:ript isimply . being.," bdnished" from the country to the Own that makes people democratic.

Long ,notoriety, in such matters, must - littend beyond •tbrSe or four years. What, says Bacon, is Of the hour-glass one man's life In the age of a nation? The long notoriety of the mismanagement of a great public department must therefore reach to some considerable period, cer tainly to a period sufficiently long to embrace We whole of the fourteen years since 1830, thOugh within that period the eminently energetic Lord Glenelg, as well 'as' Lords NOrmanby and J. Russell -held the colonial seals—of course "dreaded dissuasion, and did , meat -and monstrous things." It surely is note kind -of the Whig journalist to rip up these offences of its old friends, already suffering enough of public contempt in their dreary unplaced position. As if; howeVer, maliciously resolved to fix its charges against the Colonial-office upon the Whig holders of that office, the Whig journal details them in its glance"--a glance prismatically split into 16 heads, each head presenting some colonial difficulty, and each difficulty, that is not simply ridiculous, or obviously unfoUnded, being the effect of Whig mismanagement.

It has been often observed, ,iliatf,Ak4intddle class is the strength' and glory of a nation:' 1V this unfailing source to draw uponino great efforts can be long sustained. An aristocracy may,,be--,splendid for its wealth; 'and honourable for its 'generosity.; a pea- Santry may be respectable for its splrit, and numbers, hnd still more so for its "ddrifestic virtues. But neither of them possesses the'Efamina of a good Middle class for any great purpose, either of peace or Of•war. - It brings to bear upon one another all the great elements of social strength, industry, talent,' wealth, public spirit, and public, opinion, in a far i More efficient manner than any political effort of the state ;, because in the most natural.wag:—by actual combination : Where there are Wide intervals between the clasies, energy and promptitude are,„, loat by dis tance of operation, by bad leverage; so to Speak, and ill - -direction of forces. When you have a good middle 'class, - you have not far to fetch your mate rials, to communicate your intentions, to apply your 'impulses; There the state has notlo get at, the noble men, the nobleman to get at'his degendents ; spirit has, not to- awaken industry, and :iiidn.stry to go abont 'looking' ) for means, and 'means to waste for want of, hands. The electric:girdle is a! ways com plete. Theinchistrious man is also enlightened and Wealthy the,*ealthy man is also energetic "and able. Go into:the Market-place and look around, and there you hairein o'ne 'view all the element you want for any great internal improvement or external under taking.' In this class you poaSess a storehouse and a sohool; on - which you 'may depend fora'COnstant and (ii.utble supply of politiCal in a_ an`d virtues.

TIMES.—The subject of the stamp on receipts is one which engages some attention among the trading inte rests in the City, and a suggestion has been made by an intelligent member of that interest, following the prin ciple of the universal penny postage, to tax all receipts for sums above 51. at ld. only, and make it compulsory • to give stamped receipts in all cases, which he thinks would produce a revenue of 1,000,000 L, while 'the tax yields at the present time a sum less than 200,0001. The party referred to, with whose respectability we are ac quainted, has furnished a long written statement in . elucidation of his plan, the leading points of which will , be sufficient to render it intelligible to the public. He proposes that the paper to be used shall be issued, stamp d, as heretofore, by the Government, which is to print on the same paper a form of receipt, besides which, he would allow all acknowledgments of the receipt of money, written on paper which bears the Post-office stamp, as evidence of passing through the Post-office, to be considered legal receipts. All other paper to be used , for invoices, accounts-current, &c., to be found by per sons requiring it, and to be presented for stamping at the Stamp-office. He proposes, also, that all bankers' cheques should have the penny stamp attached to them, which will make them legal vouchers, instead of being the means commonly in use, as they now are, of evading . the tax altogether. The calculation of the amount likely to be raised by • such a tax seems a startling one, but the writer adverts to data which. bear Lim out in concluding such a result to be at least probable ; and he points out one moral advantage from his plan, in its inducing better habits of business in taking vouchers for all Payments—a practice.. which may prevent litigation and disputes, which now' constantly occur through the neglect Of such a precau tion. It is something also, on that side of the question,' to get rid of a law, the infringement of which is of daily and hourly recurrence. We have proposed only now to offer an outline of the plan; and leave it to - make what impression it-may upon the public. • • • . Ever e since the passing of the new Bank Act, Inge` • nuity seems to have been at work to devise methods by which the country bankers may escape the legal provi sions. A day or two ago,we noticed two plans which the Bankers' Circular advanced for the benefit of those whose interest it represents, and to-day our attention has been called to another scheme which looks' very practicable, ` ; though it is perhaps less ingenious than tbe others. The 11th section of the Act only forbids the bankers to issue notes on bills payable to bearer on demand beyond a certain extent, and if any instrument can be contrived that will answer the purpose of circulation, and not come within this description, it seems that the statute may be evaded. The new scheme proposes that a firm of bankers shall sign a note payable at sight or on demand, at the banking-house, to the order of one of the partners or one of the clerks, and that the payee shall endorse the note in blank. Such a document is not, it appears , according to repeated decisions on the Stamp Act, a "note payable to bearer," and yet it can be transferred by de livery only, andsimposes just as much liability on the banker as the note such • as-the statute contemplates . Here, then, we, have an instrument against which the law is probably powerless. . One view remains to be taken of all these expedients' In the opinion of nearly all the disinterested persons le the City who have spoken upon the new Banking fb ; , , e9 it has been considered:a very judicious measure, &WI because it checks excess in circulation, and theiefor a tends to repress reckless speculation. One class of per' sons, however, find that it does not accord with their 0 11 individual interests; and therefore, though there can be no doubt whatever as to the spirit and meaning of the law, all sorts of schemes are recommended to evade the-letter of the statute. Everybody who is aware of the exist ence of the Act, is also aware that its object is to plec e , the circulation of the country within defined limits ; an° those gentlemen who avail themselves of the varioaa stratagems we have described, will place themselves le , no very enviable situation, with regard to the country al large, who will consider a public benefit of more coose's quence than an individual interest. Suppose these plags 4 succeed for a time, it is scarcely possible t h a t they eel: • produce any, lasting benefit to the parties who adop t ; them. If they are carried on to any important extent' they will probably be checked by some supplemental: statute that will render the provisions - of the existing t , law more stringent and defined. A great and impottel i ,.. principle is contended for, and either that must ' l ' l sacrificed, or these small contrivances must, i n - the long , run, be crushed. • SUN.—The Funds close firmly, Console being.lo o i for Money and Time.

COMMERCIAL LITERATURE. —An advertiserae n appeared the other day for a cle r k, w h o was wanted at. Lloyd's, where he would receive a hundred a year, and!! was added that editing Lloyd's List would be a part o f lita .s duties. Lloyd ought to be ashamed o f hi mse lf to paf bl o , editor so shabbily. It is true the List does not requir e ,,, very imaginative mind, or a very f er til e f anc y ; but tu f editor of such an important paper must be- cognijae l commerce, immersed in the mysteries of mustard, th roughly ground in pepper, a nd, i n f ac t, a walking Pr,j6ete current. The man to edit Ll o yd' s Li s t should be able see which waythe wind blows without the aid of a weathe rs cock, and to discriminate a t a g l ance b e t ween the var i° l ,l o degrees of fresh, squally, and mo d era t e .

No blacking -19° : washed up by the tide should elude his editoral lance ; for some of the most interesting articles in Lit e r List have been written on the subject of bits of p s ' ' discovered corked up in a former recipient of P i . and Martin's jettest of all jets that ever were manO' de tured. Such should be the mind that ought to Pre sl o . over the putting together of Lloyd's List ; and if our C oto ' temporary don't, strike for an advance, he is a traite o „ the press, a villain to himself, and a wretch to his wily !—Punch. 4,0110 j, STRANGE SCENE.—On Friday last, a most SA 6 '. vat scene took place at St. Peters, near this town• t he• some time, cracks and rents have been observed i t s walls of various houses in this vici n ity, an d es pee i i i i sc l- - those near the docks.
