At the Wheal Basset meeting the accounts showed —returns from copper cro sold, less dues, 5.1761.; and, after defraying all mine costs, leaving a balance in hand, after paying 2 560/. as dividend of 101. per share, of 507/.

At the East Tamar meeting the accounts showed—silver-lead ores sold, 1,034/., with a balance in favour of the company t f 536/ ; also an estimate fur 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 1,216/.

The profit in that period was 500/., and the ore sampled for the next sale is 268 tons " With regard to foreign mining adventure, the leading facts are contained in the annexed paragraph : " In foreign mines transactions in the following shares have taken place:—St. John del Hey, United Mexican, Copiapo, Santiago, Linares, Cobre, Australian, im perial Brazilian, General Mining, North British Australasian, &c. 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 produced from 200 to 300 mares per cajon, and the others were favourable. In the cold 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:—Gongou, 11b. 7oz.

There is little in the National Brazilian advices except the returns, which are—Cocaes, lmc. ooz. 6oit. 41gr.; Cuiaba, lme. 3oz. 6oit. 51gr. 6t . z. soit. 20gr. At St. John eel Hey the gold extracted to May 28 was 13,5330 it., the result of 20 day s' stamping, or 15.270 it. per cubic foot." THE WEATHER and the CROPS. 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 sea.—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 summer, so far, has been highly favourable to the influx of visitors. — North Wales Chronicle. PORTIIDYNI,LAEN.—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 former 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.—North Wales Chronicle. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, AUG. 10. STOCK EXCITANGE.—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 1 / 2 . LIVERPOOL, AUG. 10.

MANCHESTER, AUG. 10. STOCK EXCTIANGE.—The share market was dull and in active to-day, and prices are rather depressed. BIRMINGHAM, AUG. 10. STOCK E XCTIANGE.—Two events which have occurred in 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 3 / dis., and Shrews bury and Birmingham (A) were transacted yesterday at 9 1 / s dis. Stour Valleys, guaranteed by the London and North. Western, remain steady, and were done this morning at ; sellers, 34—Bir 9/. ls. 3d. per share.

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 arafigements, 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.

Commander Henry Le Vesconte (1828), died July 7th, at Seymour East, Canada West. He was brother of Commander Le Vesconte, whose death we announced a few weeks since. They were sons of the late purser of the Royal William, who lost his leg in the Ist of June action. Commander Henry Le Vesconte entered the navy in 1790, was made a lieutenant in 1800, was in the Jamaica, 24, in the action off Copenhagen in 1801, and in August following, in conjunction with Lieut. Agassiz, took command of the boats of a squadron and gained the commendations of Lord Nelson for the capture and des truction, with but slight loss to the British, of six flat bottomed gun-vessels, which had been driven ashore near St. Valery, and were protected by the fire of a body of military and five field-pieces. He served in the Naiad, 30, at Trafalgar. and on that occasion assisted in extricating the Belreisle, 74, from a perilous position near the shoals, whither she was fast drifting. In 1811- 12 he watairit lieutenant of the Rodney and Me lford, 74, flag-ships of Lord Collingwood and Sir F. Freman tle, and last served, in 1512, in the Queen, 74, flag-ship of Sir C. V. Penrose. Master William Elias 'Tyne (1848) in command of the Coast-guard station at Mousehole, in the Penzance district, died on the 7th'inst. lie served in the Albion at Navarino, commanded the boats of the Conflict, and was wounded in the capture of the piratical slaver Nymphia (1830), and was actibg master of the Nimrod, 20, Captain Glasse, in the operations on the coast of China, 1840-42, and on the coast of Scinde, 1843. The half-:, early accounts of the above company have just b. en circulated. The auditors in their report, which precedes the state ment of accounts, say : " Having regard to the full statement submitted to the proprietors at Vick last muetinz, we do not propose on the p. esent occasion to cuter into inneh " The annex , el report from 'fir. Coleman, the public ace natant eieployed, 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 enabh a him confidently to affirm the correctness of the results as submitted to the proprietors. " The system upon'which the accounts of the company are conducted is simple and ctlicient, and renders their examination comparatively easy. • '• In 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 debenturestatement 30th June shows a diminu tion of 256,0001., as also a very favourable change iu the average rate at which the money stands borrowed. "In the balance of the ' stores on hand' and woras in progress' there is a further reduction, the actual stock being tested on the principle of a continuous verification, and the measures adopted being calculated gradually to reduce the stock to tho 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 repert we append:— " Gentlemen,—ln accordance w ith y our i nstruct i ons 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:— STATEMENT of the DISBURSEMENTS on the CAPITAL ACCOUNT, prepared in reference to the Estimate submitted to the Proprietors on the 22d of February, 1850.

The directors of this company have issued to their proprietors an answer to the report of the committee of investigation;" the document is somewhat velnminous, and it is impossible to render more than a notice of some 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 the 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. 4s. 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 cau 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. In regard to the statement in the evi-, dance of one of the officers of the company, that the secretary bad endeavoured to induce him by an undue influence to suppress a report, the directors refer to the secretary's evidence, in which he states that he had re quested this party merely to withdraw his report for the correction 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 expression of their high sense of the valuable services of that gentleman for a period of 13 years, arid 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 wo 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 poritct state of arrangement than that which existed on the Bristol and Exeter Rails( ay."

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 Kenmare, Lords Camoys, Beaumont, Clifford, Petre, Lovat, Stafford, _Stourton, Arundel and Surrey, M.P., end Dormer, the Right Hon. R. L. Sheil, M.P., 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 be had been entrusted. In the evening Dr. Wiseman again preached to » 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 has not yet mentioned Dr. Wiseman's successor. His choice 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. H. Newman, priest of the Ora tory of Sr. Philip Neri, King 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 seffer 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 aro 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 4f4 4 bacalled into play to givee clat to the fetes, whilst others of mudwdelightful character will be added, to render the two days::ono unceasing . round of enjoyment. Additional bsods have been'engaged to perform throughout the day. The monster concert band under the direction of M. Jullien , will p erform the choicest selections of music in the orchestra; whilst, in the Pavillon de Dance, Adam's quadrille band will be in attendance to delight the Terpbichoreans, whose move ments will be directed by Mr. Frampton, who has again tendered his valuable services as master of the cere monies; the menagerie, gorgeous panoramic picture, py rotechnic display, and other attractive and novel amuse ments filling up the time most delightf u lly. Th e c hildren of the school will proceed in p rocess i on to in n he t g h a e rd e e njo ns y e m a e cnhts will day, not be the l east pleasurable and seeing th em participators portion of the gratification experienced by their patrons. —Era. -- BEE HUSBANDItY.—We are happy to learn that the present season bids fair to be an excellent one for honey.
