Amongst the visitors were his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, Major-General Sir George Pollock, General de la Motte, Colonel Hay, and also Peer Ibraheen Khan and Syed Abdallab, two East Indians, who appeared in their Oriental dresses. The examinations were conducted by Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Pasley, R.E., assisted by Professor Cooke, and the answers to questions, both verbal and written, were most satisfactory to a very numerous auditory. The following gentlemen of the first class were then classified as follows :—For Engineers—Messrs. Jamas P. Basevi, Encas Perces, Eliot P. Brownlow, William H Edgcome, D. Thompson, and William D. Goodfellow. For the Artillery—Messrs. James H. M. Martin , Francis F. Sheppee, Frederick S. Ro berts, Horatio P. Hitehins, John Stewart, Alexander J. Trotter Ge racklon, Edward P.

It was then declared that he was the successful competitor for the Pollock large gold medal. The CHAIRMAN said he had again much pleasure in presenting him with the medal struck by the inhabi tants of Calcutta in honour of the distinguished ser vices of his friend Sir George Pollock, which he n ow presented to him. It was indeed an enviable prize, and a suitable reward for his talent, as it was honour able to the distinguished general whose name it bore —an officer not less distinguished for his gallantry in the field than for his anxious devotion to maintain the honour and the interests of his country.—(Cheers.)

Dublin: Hodges and Smith, Grafton-street. TRADE OF LEICESTER.—Our market continues much the same as last repor ;ed. Purchases are only made to sort up before Christmas. But little is doing in yarns, and the wool trade continues firm, particularly in skin sorts. CERTAIN RELIEF IN BRONCHIAL AFFECTIONS, HOOFING COUGH, &c. DR. BARRY'S SALINE and SOOTHING LOZENGES are most invaluable to persons afflicted with diseases of the respiratory organs, such as Influenza, Asthma, Difficulty of Breathing, Coughs, Hoarseness, Irritation Of the Throat, Hooping Cough, &a. These Lozenges often relieve Severe Hoarseness or Excessive Coughing in twenty-four hours, and have a peculiar beneficial effect on Bronchial Inflammation. Clergymen, Public Speakers, and Vocalists—one taken before vocal exertion will stimulate the thoracic organs, and give a tone to the voice. Sold at MEASAM and Co.'s medicated cream depot, 238, Strand, London, in boxes at 134 d.; or sent free to all parts of the kingdom on receipt of eighteen postage stamps. BRAMPORD, DEC. 11.—Wool--The feeling is more for looking on to see what will be the result of things in Paris than to do any active business, yet the stock of wool offering is anything but large, and should tran quillity be restored, more may be expected to be done, as the spinners generally are not large holders; and as the price of wool has borne no proportion with the cur rent rates of yarns. Yarns—Last week, after the news of the French outbreak, no one seemed inclined to buy, either for shipping or home account, but as is well known, at the very ruinous price at which yarns were selling, many orders were on the eve of being given out; and to day the feeling of improvement is on the ascen dant, for it is quite certain that whatever has previously come, never had yarns sunk to such an awful loss as was current in November. Good common numbers, 30 to 36, may be quoted at 83 6d per gross. Pieces—At the near approach of Christmas, when the merchants in the home trade take stock, and when the shipping houses for the contident are usually dull, we are never very busy, except when a little speculation is rife; but from the close of September we have had an unusual slackness in the purchase of grey cloth, and at no period have the merchants had a better home trade, and a reduction of their finished stocks.

This Company being now completely registered, the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a statement of its progress and prospects. It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought before the public with equal prospzet of speedy and successful results. The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure an enormous dividend within a few months. Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors for carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained by him during that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry Hunt ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measures as would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible. Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of the Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to be supplied by those who are possessed of mines, and have raised the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great experience in geology and mining matters, he has inspected and tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion, upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car rying on our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company, and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of quartz, distant about three miles from Grass. Valley and Nevada City, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City. to crush and amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the already e openecrud hed by them. By means o f machinery, he has and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup plied him from this mine; and the result of his operations has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average richness, and that the locality offers many important advantages in the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He h as, there fore, entered into a forma l a g reement with that Company, which, i with a n a few words, amounts to th is: he is to be supplied by them much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing; the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense; ha is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and he g,.ld produced is to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements for carrying out the above arran4ement fairly and honestly, and without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day, with funds sufficient for putting it in motion, have b e en lacedxpecte ed d under the control of Sir Henry Huntley;unlesse delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a return will be made about Christmas next. For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company, and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from thetentio merits of other Companies , th e Directors ate desirous of calling attention to some of the more p rominent advantages possessed by this Com pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies must mainly rely upon reports sent over by persons interested in selling the mine ; we rely upon the reports .of our own resident Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other Companies generally base the estimate of the value of their mine upon calculations founded on experiments upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to the British public; we found our calculations open experiments tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and crushed and amalgamated b y our own Superintendent, and with pose o u r own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies pro incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations soon their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz as our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure as that of any other company, unfettered by any p er centage or ro y a lty. The half of tie produce to be paid by this Company to the parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact merely equivalent to the dividend upon at the outlay of capiAll t tal ex pended in raising the quar tz, and lodging it the mill. he new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out their schemes —this Company alone is actually at work. no; P..- 1 111 capital of the Company will not exceed 20,000/. In almost certain estimates of the produce of our machinery can be formed, and, from the calculations mane, Lisa Directors confidently anticipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which we aro now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 1/. 17s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. Gs. Bd. per ton ' • and, as we can crush and amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that wovld amount to 7461. 13s. 4d., or 373/. Os. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling. In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations of their own, arrangements have teen made securing four distinct sit es, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their services. The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the Dire was due to those Shareholders who have Measures i will be taken n fact estab lished and nobly supp orted this Company. for further augmeoting the Directory, and a Special General Meet ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January. In conclusion, th e Directors beg to offer their best thanks to the Shareholders for the uniform support they have received, and they pledge themselves that the affairs of this Com the sanyole shal be of for con - ducted with the most rigid economy, and withview warding the interest of the Shareholders. The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly to the fact that, from the sy stem adopted by this Company, t it not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for out of the many p oints the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed by Colonel Fremont. The diffic ult y arising now raised relative to the tenure of land under leases, h d a be een long known to and was maturely conside red by those having t control of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in duced them to parsue for the present the course they have, and not to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful results. The Directors trust that Shareholders w ill approve of the prudence of the course they have adopted. Prospectuses may be had upon application at the offices of the Company. LAURENT'S CASINO.

TRADE 01 MANCHESTER, DEC. 11.—There was not so much business done as on Tuesday, and generally speaking purchases were effected on easier terms, though the reduction was inconsiderable in amount. This was more especially the case with regard to manufactured goods. In yarns there was a better feeling than amongst the buyers of cloth, and water twist is held rather firmly, owing to the extent of orders held by spinners, many of whose contracts extend over the whole of the present month, and some of them up to the middle of January, being contracts entered upon before the revo lution in France had broken out to disturb confidence. In mule yarn a decline of id. per Ib, perhaps, may be noted; bat the general lowness of stocks both in yarns and cloths has enabled producers to face the disturbing elements at work against them in the news from France and India, better than, under ordinary circumstances, they might have been expected to do. Exporters look with keen apprehension not only to the immediate events arising out of the disturbance in France, but to what may follow in Germany and other parts of the conti nent, and so far as they are concerned, there is little ex pectation of any great improvement of business for some time to come.

DEC. 12.—The change of wind has brought the expected fleet of vessels to hand, and a hundred and twenty sail have arrived at Poole during the past eight days. Our arrivals of grain this week are large, and millers are enabled to make their purchases of wheat on easy terms; and new is generally is per quar ter lower than the extreme rates of last week. Old maintains its previous value, and on the whole there is no desire to urge sales; but buyers are very cautious. Fine barley is fully as dear; the second sorts sell very slowly. Oats and shelling have advanced. Beans are more plentiful and ;ricers are la per quarter lower. No alteration in other articles. WHEAT, per qr. 601bs per bushel:— s. o.

A large crowd of persons had assembled outside the office, and the sensation created appears to have in creased, from the fact of the first lot of prisoners being, by the subsequent apprehension of the prisoner Evans, and the suspicious nature of the evidence against him, pro4ably entirely innocent of any knowledge of the °riga° imputed to them.

Advice and Medicine. IS. , PARIS IN A STATE OF SIEGE. TIIE ASSEMBLY DISMISSED. General Officers, the Leaders of Party, arrested and sent to Prison, the Council of State Dissolved, and Louis Napoleon is Dictator. This astounding, intelligence, transmitted from Paris in a few minutes, nearly frightened London from its propriety on Tues day last, ye from all we can learn the President completely followeAl the example set In the British metropolis years ago, even to the close, for when he had effected the mighty change he appealed to the people, whose support alone he craved. The change to which we refer was that which in forty-eight hours was accomplished by E. MOSES and SON. The monopolists were more formidable than the General Assembly, and they were not without leaders, but Messrs. E. MOSES and SONS crushed them at once by lowering the price of a man's clothes fifty per cent., and appealing to the people. What was the result ? The extortion and wrowg doings of those they displaced was apparent, and the people exulted in the c h an ge. They gladly seized aeon the benefits extended to them, and supported the firm. Every man in the kingdom is now at liberty to buy for him self and his family better clothes than they ever had before, and at less chart half price ; let any one, if indeed there be any, who doub ts this, inspect the present unrivalled stock of Winter Clothing at the Monarch Mart in Ablgate and the Minorles, or their Grand West-end Branch Establishment in New Oxford-street, corner of Hart-street, where everything of the newest and neatest and best is marked with its prices, and they will doubt no longer.
