The Mining Journal furnishes the following informa• tion respecting the progress of English mining ad venture:— " During the past week thare'has been a large amount of business transacted, but principally amongst the lead ing mines, such as Devon Great Consols, South Basset, Levant, Condurrow, Tresaven, Trelawny, Mary Ann, &c. At the Wheal Basset meeting the accounts showed —returns from copper ore sold, less dues, 5,176/.•' and, after defraying all mine costs, leaving a balanc e in hand, after paying 2.5601. as dividend of 101. per share, of 507/. At the meeting of South Tolgus adventurer's, on the 7th inst., the accounts showed the sales of ore to have realised, leas dues, 1,23 2 / 4 mine costs and mer chants' bills, 1,033/4 showing profit of 1991.; add balance from last account, 766/.=9651. A dividend of 2/. 10s. per share was declared, leaving balance in hand 3251. At the Esst Tamar meeting the accounts showed—silver-lead ores sold, 1,034/., with a balance in favour of the company cf 5361.; also an estimate for the current two months, showing balance against the mine on the 13th of October, 5371. ; also a state ment, showing surplus of assets over liabilities 1,2161. ' At the South Tamar meeting the ac counts showed—silver lead ores sold, 1,3891., and balance in hand 2401.; also i‘ts estimate for the current two months, showing 276/. against the mine ; and a statement showingsurplus of assets over liabilities 1,5501. At the East Godolphin-meeting the Pccounts showed a balance against the mine of 632/ _ A call of 31. per share was made, which will produce 768/. At the East Wheal Frances meeting it was resolved to divide the mine into 256 shares, and a call of 30s. per sizare was made. At the Wheal Harriet meeting the amounts showed a balance in band of 319/. The mine was divided into 2,560 shares, and a call of 81. per share was made, payable in four instalments.

Dispatches have been received from the Worthing Mining Company, South Australia, but they are of an earlier date than the information we gave last week. Advices from Co piano have been received. In the Checo Mine the lode in Harman's shaft was still large, with a good branch of ore, 18in. wide. San Pedro was not quite so rich as it had been. In La Compania they had a large lode, with a good branch of ore, lft. wide; and in La Reyna a large lode had been cut, which was expected to give large and rich deposits of ore. The produce for April was 64 tons. In the silver mines improvements had taken place. At Al Fin Hallada the ore produeed from 200 to 300 mares per cajon, and the others were favourable. In the gold mines no change of importance had taken place. From the Imperial Brazilian the returns only have been received, which were from May 23 to June 2 :—Gongoa, 11b. 7oz. Bdwt.; Bananal, 111 b. 10oz. 13dwt.=131b. soz. 1 ldwt.; total from January 1 to June 2—Gongou. 801 b. Boz. ldwt.; Bananal, 1381 b. 00z. 19dwt.; together, 1881 b. 9oz.

POTATO BLIGHT.—The Potato Blight continues its ravages among us. From all directions we receive un favourable accounts, and in many places the haulm has gone down as quickly after the first appearance of the spot as in former years. To what extent the tuber is affected is yet uncertain. It is to be hoped that the general practice of early planting has placed the crop in a more advanced state than on previous occasions. From other parts of the country the accounts are con tradictory, and some of them would seem to show that the blight is more malignant near the atm—Cornwall Gazette. Since our last the weather has not been so seasonable as we could have wished. We have had two or three fine days, but a large quantity of rain having fallen, it has had a rather prejudicial effect on the cereal crops. Some warm, dry weather is now indispensable, and with that, we may yet have an excellent, if not an early, har vest. We regret to learn that the potato disease threatens to prevail somewhat extensively this season. In the neighbourhood of Carlisle several fields have already been almost entirely destroyed. Over the country ge• nerally the crops are spoken of favourably. The wheat harvest has commenced in the neighbourhood of London. —Carlisle Journal. In the fine barley district between Chester and Wrex ham the crops are very luxuriant, and are ready for the sickle; and in Lancashire and North Wales the oats are quite as fine and a few fields are cut. The weather was wet and stormy here yesterday, with occasional inter vals of sunshine; but on the whole the sumnier, so to, has been highly favourable to the influx of visitors. — North Wales Chronicle. PORTHDYNLLAEN.—We are sorry that we have to re peat as in former years that the blight has again made its appearance in the potatoes, but not yet to such an extent as in furmer years, in this vicinity. Some small fields of barley have been cut about this place, and in the course of a week many more will be ready, weather per mitting.---/Vorth Wales Chronicle. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, AUG. 10. STOCK EXCHANGE.—We have little change to notice in this share market. A small business has been done, and prices generally remain stationary. The only alterations are—Great Western, Whole Shares, 58—Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, 8% Midland Stock, buyers, 34; sellers, 34%. LIVERPOOL, AUC4. 10.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—Two events which have occurred ii this immediate neighbourhood during the present week—the temporary, if not permanent, settlement of the dispute be tween the Stour Valley and Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Companies with regard to the occupation of the joint station at Wolverhampton, and the final transfer of the South Staffordshire line, upon lease to Mr. M'Clean, for 21 years—are likely to produce a favourable effect upon the stocks of the Shrewsbury and Staffordshire Companies. An improvement in that of the latter is already apparent. Shares were quoted to-day at 4 and 3% dis., and Shrews bury and Birmingham (A) were transacted yesterday at 9% dis.

Having a spare half-hour on hand, iind knowing the interest you feel about the expedition, I cannot employ it better than in giving you a short acco unt pro ceedings since leaving the Orkneys. or cot of our se you receive this, you will have beard that w e left that long ere place (the Orkneys) on the 15th instant, in tow of the steamers Dasher and Lightning. We fully ex pected that they would have accompanied us at lest 10 0 miles to the westward of the islands, but in consequence of some derangement in the Intrepid's machinery, she could not keep way-with us; we therefore cast o ff tow m at six P.., about 20 miles teeth e westwa rd of H aywaas, wind light at south-wont. At eight the steamers parted company. f Be ore doing so we exchanged a few hearty, English cheers, a n d pro ceeded on our different routes. The south-west wind continued until the 17th, when it hauled round to the north-east and south-east. Last evening, it getting very light, our tenders took us in tuw, and tugged us nearly 34 miles per hour. This morning the breeze again freshened from the south-east; cast off, and we are now bowling along on our course seven knots per hour. May 28—We have had a glorious run since the 22d; this morning, at eleven, made Cape Farewell, bearing due north 60 miles; so far we have made a splendid passage; we rounded the Cape at 60 miles distant; in the evening fell in with some loose sailing ice; very foggy during the night; fired guns occasionally to show position; sailing through loose ice during the night. May 29—Fine clear weather in the evening; made ice ahead, apparently forming an impenetrable barrier; calm during the night. May 30—Lights airs from northward; stood along the ice, which proved to be a heavy stream of small bergs, closely packed; see i n g to clear passage to the north-west, stood through it, andjet into clear water; this afternoon we observed a sail to leeward, which proved to be our transport. May 31—Transport joined company: found that four of , ur bullocks had died on the passage; a great loss for us. June 1 to 10—We had variable weather; gales from the northward, principally light north-easterly winds; we are now in hit. 64 30 N., long. 55 W.; it being calm the commodore has decided on being towed; ott,r tender the transport in tow, and the Pioneer the Resolute; we are left alone in our glory; we lost sight of them in the afternoon; 'I am sorry to say we saw another of our bullocks floating past this evening; the weather h es b een rather co ld, t h er m o meter 4 des! ez below the freezing point; we are all quite well and in high spirits, but much annoyed at being so lon g i n ge tti ng to our destination. shall keep this open until the transport is about to leave us, and let you know what we have done up to the last moment. June 13—We crossed the Arctic circle yesterday. Last night the sun did not set; at midnight it was 1 drg. 20 min. above the horizon; I got a latitude by it; we passed four icebergs, about 100 feet high, yesterday, aground in 300 feet water. June 21—We arrived here (the Whal© Fish Islands) on the 15th, and sail again to-morrow if we can get the transport clear; she has about 70 tons of coal left in her, and she requires ballast before that can be taken out; we work at her all night, to get her clear if possible. We are all well, and very anxious to get on. Penny left this on the 10th of May; it is supposed to bo a close season of ice; we shall probably overtake him. I must con clude, as I am off to the transport. June 22—The captain has just returned from the Danish settlement of Lively or Goothab. The Governor informed him that Penny had arrived there on the 2d of May, and sailed again on the 4th.

The half-yearly accounts of the above company have just 13; en circulated. The auditors i❑ their report, which precedes the state ment of accounts, say:— " Having regard to the full statement submitted to the proprietors at their last meeting, we do not propose on the present occasion to enter into much detail. " The annexed report from Mr. Coleman, the public accountant emplo) ed, will show that the principle of a continuous audit has been acted upon, and that the result of a minute personal examination of every entry enables him confidently to affirm the correctness of the results as submitted to the proprietors. " The s) stem upon which the accounts of the company are conducted is simple and efficient, and renders their examination comparatively easy. " le accordance with the resolution passed by the pro prietors at the last general meeting, we have caused to be prepared a statement of the disbursements on capital account to the 30th June, the particulars of which will be found embodied in the report of the accountant. "The debenture statement 30th June shows a diminu tion of 256,0001., as also a very favourable change in the average rate at which the money stands borrowed. "In the balance of the ' stores on hand' and works in progress' there is a further reductton, the actual stock being tested on the principle of a continuous verification, and the measures adopted being calculated gradually to reduce the stock to the lowest amount consistent with the requirements of the service. " The system adopted for the repair and the renewal of the working stock, which we reported at the last halt yearly meeting as satisfactory, still continues in opera tion. Subsequent inquiry, and personal observation at our principal locomotive establishments, confirm us in the opinion we then expressed as to its sufficiency." Then follows the accountant's report, which is ad dressed to the auditors, which report we append: 7 — " Gentlemen,—ln accordance with your instructions I have during the last six months made a continuous exa mination and audit of the accounts of this company, in the course of which I have carefully checked every item of receipt and expenditure, and in addition to examining the general books and documents at Euston station, I have had an opportunity of testing the system in opera tion at Wolverton and Crewe, the principal stores' depots. The result of the whole has been to fully con firm the opinion that I gave in my last detailed report to you, that the system of account adopted by the board of directors, and carried out under the responsibility of the committees, is calculated to secure a correct and effi cient control throughout this vast establishment. " I have also, pursuant to your instructions, prepared and now submit the following statement of the disburse ments on capital account:— STATESIENT Of the DISBURSEMENTS 00 the CAPITAL ACCOUNT, prepared in reference to the Estimate submitted to the Proprietors on the 22d of February, 1850. .. 0 , 1 5 ::, .-, C 3 tyv 1 ...II 03 .--.

There is no instance, we believe, of the extreme sentence being in flicted after a respite during pleasure. The execution of Chadwick had been fixed for Saturday next. the 17th inst., but we believe that the case admitted of sufficient doubt to have satisfied the Learned Judge that a different verdict might possibly have been come to, or, at all events, that there was sufficient doubt to incline to the side of humanity. The re spite for Chadwick was sent down by post yesterday after noon to Stafford, but in consequence of the new Sunday postal arangements, it is likely that the unfortunate prisoner may not receive the news of the clemency extended to him before to-morrow afternoon, although every possible effort was considerately made by the authorities to diminish the period of suspense endured by the wretched man.— Sunday Paper, MAIN LINE. aymen is for additional land and outstand ing claims, St. Albans, Stowheath, &c. £7,248 17 1 New sidings, junctions, and sundries . . 5,758 15 6 Euston and Camden stations ... 12,000 3 4 Sundry stations on the line, including waiting and refreshment rooms at Bletchley and Stafford...

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by th• con tribntion of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue preMiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. I.

The directors of this company have issued to their proprietors an answer to the report of the committee of investigation ; the document is somewhat voluminous, and it is impossible to render more than a notice of BOILIO of the principal points. The charge by the committee of investigation that the finance committee was a secret one, and a sealed book to the other members of the direction, is met by a denial, and by a statement that She book of proceedings of the committee was open at all times to the inspection of the directors. On the subject of cheques having been signed by the secretary, and the duties of the directors thus delegated, the reply states that the secretary never signed a cheque on any banking account in the company's name; that payments necessary to be made from time to time by the secretary were provided for by a cheque signed by the directors in his favour, and disbursed by the secretary as occasion required, that the balance held by the secretary for this purpose rarely exceeded 1001. Upon the inaccuracy of the system of accounts kept by the company, as apparent from the evidence of the ac countant in respect to a cheque of 61.45. Bd. having been twice drawn for, the directors reply, " With thousands weekly to disburse, your directors' arrangements are such that a committee not indisposed to discover errors can only elicit one solitary fact of a cheque having been drawn (not paid) twice for the same sum." With respect to the late deputy chairman of the com pany, the directors observe, "The charges against the late deputy chairman were replied to in writing by him, to the committee of investigation, and these replies are contained in the volumn of evidence which has been fur nished to the directors, but they have not been printed or noticed by the committee." These replies are clearly, fully, and satisfactorily made. We believe that Mr. Browne has been the object of violent and determined hostility, but that justice will be done hereafter to his motives and actions, which have been praiseworthy and honourable. The complaint of the committee that the corporate seal of the company has hitherto been kept in the cus tody of the secretary, is now remedied by its being placed under the charge of the chairman; at the same time the directors defend the former practice on the score of convenience. h regard to the statement in the evi dence of one of the officers of the company, that the secretary had endeavoured to induce han by an undue influence to suppress a report, the directors refer to the secretary's evidence, in which ho states that he had re quested this party merely to withdraw his report for the correcion of errors. The recommendations of the committee, that the secre tary should be deprived of " his almost unlimited power" is met by the directors in the expresion of their high sense of the valuable services of that gentleman for a period of 13 years, and the zeal, energy, and ability which he has displayed in the discharge of his import ant duties. The directors conclude their reply with an indignant repudiation of the unscrupulous charges to which they have been exposed, adding, " We lay no claim to infal libility for your board, but we venture to challenge any directory in the kingdom, who may have taken on them selves, at once, the working of a line of 86 miles, to pro duce, at the end of the first six months, a more poet et state of arrangement than that which existed on the Bristol and Exeter Railway."

CARDINAL WISEMAN'S' RETIREMENT FROM HIS LONDON BISHOPRIC. Yesterday morning a large number of the Catholic nobility and gentry at present residing in London as sembled at St. George's Cathedral, Westminster-bridge read, it having been announced that the Right Rev. Nicholas Wiseman, D.D., Vicar Apostolic of the Lon don distict and Bishop of Melipotamus, would take that opportunity of delivering a farewell address to those over whom he has had spiritual jurisdiction, prior to his departure for Rome, whither he has been summoned by the Pope, in order that he may receive from his Holiness the digninty of the Cardinalate. Amongst those pre sent were the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of lienmare, Lords Camoys, Beaumont, Clifford, Petre, Lover, Stafford, _Stourton, Arundel and Surrey, M P., and Dormer, the Right lion. R. L. Sheil, 31.1'., Mr. C. Anstey, M.P., Mr. M. J. O'Connell, M.P., and other persons of distinction, accompanied in most cases by members of their families. High mass was celebrated, and the Cardinel elect delivered an address, in which he ad verted to the success which Catholicism was making throughout the world, and spoke in high terms of the zealous labours of the clergy in the district with the ecclesiastical supervision of which he had been entrusted. In the evening Dr. Wiseman again preached to a large congregation, amongst whom were several clergymen of the Church of England, who were prevented by profes sional duties from being present in the morning. In deed, at both sermons great interest was excited, the elevation of an Englishman to the high office of Cardinal being a circumstance of such extremely rare occurrence. Dr. Wiseman will leave England in the course of the present week, and will take up his residence in the " eternal city," an earnest desire having been expressed by the Pope that he may have the benefit of the Right Rev. Prelate's counsels on the political and spiritual difficulties which at present surround their church. The Pope i has not yet mentioned Dr. Wiseman's successor. Ills choici; is, however, expected to fall upon either the Rev. Dr. Doyle, the senior priest of St. George's Cathe dral, or the Rev. Dr. J. U. Newman, priest of the Ora tory of St. Philip Neri, Kiag William-street, Strand, formerly Vicar of Great St. Mary's, Oxford. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL SUMMER FETES. The annual summer fetes, in aid of the funds of this truly admirable and most deserving charity, are fixed to take place at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, on Monday (this day) and Tuesday next. We have so often advo cated the cause of this magnificent and most praise worthy charity, and its merits are, we are delighted to say, so famed, that we need not, in calling attention to these summer fetes in aid of its funds, add one word to the simple announcement beyond expressing our belief that of all the noble and charitable institutions which abound in this metropolis, there is not one with which the Licensed Victuallers' School will stiffer by compa rison, nor one in which the truly philanthropic and be neficent views of the promoters are carried out with greater integrity. The annual summer fetes of the institution are invariably regarded as most pleasant reunions. Mirth and harmony are seasoned with the knowledge that, in ministering amply to their self gratification, the visitors are assisting the cause of charity, in helping to educate the children of their less fortunate brethren in a way which will not only make them good and useful members, but ornaments of society hereafter. On the present occasion the committee of management have wisely selected the Surrey Zoological Gardens as the locale for their revels. All the varied and attractive amusements of these delightful gardens will be called int' play to give eclat to the fetes, whilst others of a suitable and delightful character will be added, to render the two days one unceasing round of enjoyment. Additional bawds have been engaged to perform throughout the day. The monster concert baud under the direction of M. Jullien, will perform the choicest selections of minis in the orchestra; whilst, in the Pavillon de Danse, Adam's quadrille band will he in attendance to delight the Terpsichoreans, whose move ments directed by services lr.

Th e children of the' school will proceed in procoaion to the gardens each day, and seeing them participators in the enjoyments not be the least pl easurable portion of the gratification experienced by their patrons. —Era.
