CITY, Two O'CLOCK, The chief feature in the markets is a further fall in Metropolitan Railway Stock in consequence of the injunction restraining the payment of the divi dend, and the striking remarks which proceeded from the Vice-Chancellor. There has, however, been a partial reaction from the lowest prices of the morning, but the disposition is still rather to sell than to buy. In some other cases there is a slight improvement upon the depressed prices that pre vailed after regular hours yesterday. The Funds continue firm, and so do the leading Foreign Stocks. lhere is rather a steady demand for money this morning, but rates remain at 11 to 18 per cent., and supplies continue largely in excess of imme diate requirements. Consols are firm, at 93} to 93i, for money and account; New and Reduced Three per Cents., 93-a to 93-1 ; India Five per Cents., 112 to 112 f ; 4 a • Bank Stock, 247 to 249 ; Exchequer Bills, 225. to 275. prem. In the Foreign Stock Market, Spanish New Three per Cents. are in demand, at an advance of k per cent., the price being 37Z- to 37j- ; Italian, 18G1, are firmer, at 43Z. to 41e. Greek are very flat, at 121 to 13k ; and Turkish are likewise scarcely so firm as they were, at 32f to 324. Mexican Bonds are 16f to 16k ; Peruvian, 78 to 79 ; and Chilian, 884 to 89+. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures remain firm at 251. to 26k, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 25i to 26. American Securities are firm. United States 5-20 Bonds are * higher, at 721 to 721; Erie Rail road better, at 48 to 49 ; Illinois, 86-1 to 861. The chief feature in Railways is the further re lapse in Metropolitan on the unfavourable character of the proceedings yesterday before Vice-Chancellor Wood. The stock closed last night at about 111, opening this morning at 107, and is now about 109 to 1091. With the exception of a fall of 1 in Great Northern A, at 107 to 108; of 4 in Brighton, at 454 to 46/ ; and of in South Eastern, at 684 to 6 91 7 the quotations are rather better. There is a recovery of 1 in Great Eastern, at 31 to 31f ; and in Midland, at 1051 to 106 ; of I in Caledonian, at 7 51 to 76 ; in Sheffield, at 431 to 43f ; in London and North Western, at 1174 to 118; ; and in Lancashire and Yorkshire, at 1254 to 126; ; and of i.in Great Western, at 451 to 46. Union Bank of London shares are- f better, at 33 to 34, and London and County are that much lower, at 54 to 55. London and Westminster are 66/ to 671 ex div. ; and London Joint Stock, 331 to 34k. London Financial shares are 23 to 21 dis. ; National Discount, 11 to 114 ; and Credit Foncier, 3 to 31. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England have given notice that, in order to prepare the dividends due on the sth April, 1868, the balance of the several accounts in the following funds will be struck on the night of Monday, the 2d March, 1868, viz., New Three per Cent. Annuities, Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities, Annuities for thirty years, Annuities fo r t erms o f years , India Four per Cent. Stock. On Tuesday, the 3d March, the above-named funds will be transferable without the dividend due on the sth April next. Bank Stock, shut Wednes day-, 18th March IMR • nnan Monday, 6th April, 1868. The sum of £35,000 in Engusti gold coin was withdrawn from the Bank yesterday for export to A l exandria. The following remarks upon the Bullion Market are from Messrs. Mocatta and Goldsmid's Circular :—" All descriptions of silver are firm. The nearest quotation for bars is 60 7-16 d, and Mexican dollars are steady at 59d, with but limited supplies of either. Apparently no shipments of silver from India are yet advised, but exchanges are gradually declining, and some amounts of sovereigns are said to be already on the way from Calcutta. There is still a good demand for all kinds of gold for ex portation, and the arriv a l s h av i ng b ee n but limited l a,tely, a few w ithd rawa l s f rom t h e B an k h ave t a k en place. It seems doubtful whether the importation from the United States will continue, but in any case they are not likely to be on a very large scale. Ship ments to some extent are, however, expected from Australia within the next f ew wee k : , and probably aiuch of the gold which, under ordinary circumstances, Would have been remitted from that country to India Will no.v find its way here." The directors of the Birmingham and Midland Bank announce a dividend of £5 per share. The estate of Messrs. Job Richards and Co., of the Aabone Bridge Iron Works, is to be administered in bankruptcy.

COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. The markets for Colonial and Foreign Produce presen the quiet aspect usual on the last day of the week, when attention is engaged morn in the settlement of past transactions than in opening fresh engagements. Mean_ time the steady tone in most departments is undisturbed, and the improvement noticed in the one important branch of commerce, the cotton trade, makes steady pro gress. The imports of produce during the week have been light, and the supplies declared for disposal in the ensuing, week are moderate, excepting tea, coffee, and jute, which will be offered principally from recent arrivals. Thelo w rates on which sugar is offering fails to attract purchasers, al though from the great excess of deliveries over sales for 801310 time past it is evident that stocks in dealers' hands have run down considerably. The account from the bonded warehouses of the United Kingdom is however improving, but is still much under that of last year at this time. The increanod supplies of coffee, latety arrived, com prise only a limited proportion of coloury qualities, which have consequently a firm aspect, whilst inferior grades have the twofold disadvantage of being already without demand, whilst the quantity on hand has been augmented. Meantime the deliveries of coffee go on satis factorily. In the statistical position of the other leading products there are no new features of interest. TALLOW. The market continues dull.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This Day. (By Telegraph.) DEAL, Saturday Morning. _ _ It has blown a heavy gale during the night and still continues. Most of the shipping have apparently rode well, excepting a collier brig, which has lost anchors and chains, foremast, and bowsprit. Is in charge of a tug, and will proceed to Ramsgate on the flow of the tide. A PECULIARITY OF TIIF. CALENDAR.—The month upon which we have just entered contains five Saturdays—a singularity which has not occurred in any February these score of years. THE SOLUTION OF A GHOST ALARM. —A gentle man residing at Peckham-rye was recently troubled with a " ghost visitation," similar in character to that which startled an aged lady and her household in Kensington. No clue could be obtained to the mysterious rappings for some time, and as each night drew. near th e female inmates of the "haunted house" gave themselves up to terror. At last the gentleman discovered the " ghost," which proved to be—a bat. The creature had taken refuge just above the door, and in endeavouring to flee away as darkness came on, caused the mysterious rappings with its wings. The bat destroyed, the knockings ceased, —South London Press. THE BIRMINGHAM M URDER .- 2% tele g r am From Birmingham, dated last evening, says:—" No clue has as yet been discovered as to the murderers of Miss Mary Milbourne, in Heneage-street, Birmingham, on the 21st Jan. At the adjourned inquest held to-day, a witness spoke to having seen three men coming over the wall surrounding Miss Milbourne's premises about the time of the murder, but denied positively that she could identify them, or any of them. The coroner, in summing up the evidence, said he should commu nicate the result of the inquiry to the Home Office, and the further result would probably be the offering of a Government reward, w hi c h m i g h t l ead to thec discovery of the murderers. The jury then returned a verdict of Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown,' and the proceedings terminated." THE VACANT LORD JUSTICESHIP.---The resignation of Sir John Rolt (of which we informed our readers some time back), although subsequently disputed by contemporaries possessing less accurate information, is now confirmed beyond any possibility of doubt. It had been hoped that, in consequence of the great difficulty of adequately replacing the learned Lord Justice, his lordship might have been induced, at least, to attempt to resume his judicial functions. The state of his health having, however, precluded this, his lordship's resig nation has been finally accepted. Rumour says that the Lord Justiceship thus vacated has been offered to Sir Roundell Palmer, and declined by him. Although many names have been mentioned, it is most probable that the appointment will be conferred upon Sir Charles Selwyn, who will, in that case, be succeeded in the Solicitor-Generalship by Mr. Balliolßrett, M.P. for Ilelston.—lmperia/ Review. SOUTHWARK PARK.—The plans for the formation of a park for South London have been approved of by the General Purposes Committee of the Metropo litan Board of Works, and will shortly be made public, for the purpose of inviting tenders for the exe cution of the work. The ground has been acquired at a cost of £60,000. Its area is 65 acres, but in order to recoup a portion of the sum expended in its formation, belts of laud skirting its wider parts will be appropriated to the erection of some 300 houses of such a class as to command a yearly rental of about £5O. In all, the ground thus used will be about fifteen acres. The visitor, entering from Jamaica Level, will —p ass i ng the already finished lodge—find himself on a plateau for promenade, having a foun tain in its centre, and environed by flower-beds. Immediately before him will be a vista, extending to the Deptfo r d L ower -road, p l ante d on eitherl side with limes. An avenue of horse-chesnuts will wind away to the right, round a spacious cricket-around, to a play-ground for younger lads than those likely to join cricket clubs to the left an avenue of planes is pro j ected leading past another open plot to a gym nas i um, which it is to be hoped will be fitted up in a more liberal way than has been the case with some others. On each hand of the Central or Lime Tree-walk flower-beds will be formed, backed up with ornamental grounds, laid out in accordance with the received theories of English landscape gar dening, through which paths will lead to the various grounds.

THE COUNTESS D'ALTEYRAC AND LORD WILLOUGHBY D'ERESBY: In the after-term Aittings, in the Court of Queen's Bench, before the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury, this extraordiOrry action came on for hearing. - It was brought to recover certain goods, &c., the property of de plaintiff. The plaintiff is the divorced wife of Count D'Alteyrac, of high family and position in France, and an officer in the French navy ; and the defendant is ? the Grand Chamberlain of England. The parties becanit acquainted in Paris in 1847, and in 1849 they lived togethe'r as man'and wife in London, and continued to do so until 1864, when a disagreement took place between them rela tive to the noble lord's familiarity with one of the maid servants, which ultimately led to their separation. A daughter, the result of the cohabitation of the plaintiff and defendant, was now living, and her education had beet superintended by the defendant. The defendant, aftei' the separation, sold all the property at Cam Lodge, Twicken ham, for £B,OOO, which property the plaintiff claimed as hers, and for which this action had been brought. The defendant had made no provision for the plaintiff and her child. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and .Mr. Philbrick were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. J. 0. Griffits were counsel for the defendant. — The Countess was then called and deposed: In 1847 I was living in Paris ; my husband was travelling at that time. In that year I made the defendant's acquaintance. I came to England in 1819 to meet the defendant, and since that time I have lived with him as his wife. I tra velled with him in Switzerland and Germany. There was a daughter born, who was educated and brought up as Miss Willoughby. I was known as Mrs. Willoughby, and was called so by his lord ship. In 1849 he took apartments for me in Argyle , street, and after that a house was taken at 4, Vincent-street, Ovington-square, for the purpose of our residing there. That was at the end of 1850 or beginning of 1851. At that time I had £1,600 in my possession of my own money, which was used in furnishing and decorating the house according to our joint wishes. The furniture and plate I had in Paris were brought to London for furnishing this house. It included articles of Dresden and Sevres china ; my crest and cypher were upon the plate, and the household linen was marked in my name. Defendant was then in a bad state of health, almost dying, and I nursed and attended him for about fifteen months. In November 1852 he was extremely ill, and wrote a letter addressed to his father, in which he asked him to make provision for the plaintiff, and stating that all the property in the house belonged to her, and which she was to use if he died. The case was adjourned to M3nday. His Lordship suggested that it should be left to some man of honour, known to both parties, to say what should be done between them. A CASE OF DIN' ORCE.—In the Divorce Court, before biz J. P. Wilde, the case. of Edwards v. Edwards and Theo balds, which bad been already part heard, was decided. The petitioner lived at Bridport, in Dorsetshire, with his father, but in the year 1846 he came to London, and lived in the house of his uncle. The latter had a daughter some years older than the petitioner, and it was alleged that she had "seduced" him. In the following year, she being enceinte by him, they were married at Abchurch, in the City. After the ceremony was per formed they separated, and had never lived together since. In the meantime, the wife obtained employment as a governess—first at Frimingham, in Norfolk, and afterwards at Bridport; but in 1853 she disappeared, and was not discovered till about six months before the present proceedings were commenced, when it was alleged she was living with the co-respondent. A great deal of evidence was given to prove these allegations. On the other side, many witnesses were called to speak as to the adultery of the petitioner, but their evidence entirely brokd down, and the attorney was severely censured by the court for not having thoroughly ascertained what would be the nature of their evidence.—The learned judge granted a decree nisi for a divorce, and found that no wilful separa :ion had taken place at all. made, and I hear nothing to his disparagement beyond this. He is fined 405., and, in default, a month's imprisonment. The Rev. Father Bingham, of the church of the Holy Family, Saffron-hill, who had written a letter to the Lord Mayor, stating that the prisoner had attended his school during the winter evenings, and that he was a quiet, inoffensive young man, here stepped forward, and said be would pay the fine. The Lord Mayor—You knew the law, that it was my duty to fine hip ? Father Bingham said he did not know that such was the case. Ile believed the offence was com mitted on the spur of the moment, without thought, and that if the prisoner had been able to keep the paper in his pocket, and think over the matter, he would not have pasted it up. The Lord Mayor—You can hardly urge that. He put up one the week before. Father Bingham—lie knows very well how wrorgly he has acted, but I am sure it was not done from any bad motive, but simply on the spur of the moment. The initials found in the memorandum- book, "C. IL F.," are thos,i of my church. He is a very good boy, and has never attended any secret society, and in fact _has no time to do so. Sir William Ease (addressing the rev. gentle man) said—l am hound to say that the pasting up of tw•o seditious placards on this house is a very serious crime. Father Bingham—The parents are extremely poor, and they came to me and stated what had occurred. Sir William Rose—lt is a very serious crime. Father Bingham—But the parents are poor, and cannot pay the fine. Sir William Rose—Well, he ought to go prison. The Lord Mayor—l am very sorry the law does not allow me to give him a month's imprisonment without the option of a fine. Father Bingham—l pay it because the parents are unable to do so, and the boy, if sent to gaol, would lose his situation and be without a place. am very much obliged. The prisoner was then discharged.

The crocodiles during the same year ate about 50 people, and between 30 and 40 a year were killed by serpents. Th e inhabitants, however, do not seem to allow their habitual equanimity to be much disturbed by the fate of so many human beings. The Governor-General some time since offered for every tiger that was killed the sum of 22 guilders (£2), but this did not tempt the Dutchmen to action.—Pali dlall Gazette. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. WAREHOUSE ROBBERY BY ITALIANS.-At Guildhall, John Laurie and .Andreglio Luize, two Italians who re fused to give their addresses, were placed at the bar before Alderman Sidney, charged with stealing two Freud shawls, value £6, from the premises of Messrs. C. A. Clermont and Co., No. 11, Silver-street, Wood street.—William Green, detective officer, said that about quarter-past five o'clock yesterday evening he was in company with Whitney in Gresham-street, where the} saw the two prisoners, and, from their manner, they were induced to follow them. They watched them for about three-quarters of an hour, and during that time they entered five different warehouses — one in Gresham street, ens in Aldermanbury, two in Wood-street, and one in Silver-street. At the last place the prisoner Laurie left very hurriedly, followed by Luize a short distance. In Falcon-street the formes stopped, and was joined by the latter. They then walked to King Edward-street, where they went into a public. house. When they came out they went to the foot of Holborn-hill, where he and Whitney stopped them. He asked Laurie what he had under.his cloak, and he replied "Nothing." 'Witness said "Let me see ;' and pulled his Cloak on one side, and from under his coat he took the two shawls produced. He then told the prisoner that he was a police - officer, and should take him into custody. He asked, him to account for the possession o f t h e s h awls, and he said, " I will not speak to you here ; I will talk to you at the station.' They took the prisoners to the station-house, and in the presence of the inspector he asked Laurie if the shawl were marked or ticketed, and he said they were not. He refused his address. —This testimony was corroborated by Whitney, and further evidence having been called, the prisoners were remanded. THREATENING TO KILL.—At the Westminster Police court, Francis Hedling, coachman to Mr. Pakington (the son and secretary to Sir John Pakington, the Secre tary for War), was bound over to keep the peace for six months. It appeared that the prisoner quarrelled with the stable-keeper, who struck him. Thereupon he (the prisoner) took up a pitchfork and said he would run it through complainant, whom he afterwards got under the legs of one of the horses, and nearly strangled him. Complainant got away, however, and prisoner then declared he would kill him in the night . and, being in bodily fear, the stable-keeper brought this charge. A CLEVER TRICK. --John King Richardson, a shopman, was charged before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police court, with stealing a watch worth £5, and £4O worth o! goods, the property of Henry Done. The prosecutor, who is s grocer and cheesemonger, and who then carried on busi ness at:No. 9, C annon-street -road, was committed to prison for one month by Mr. Paget for an assault. He left the prisoner in charge of his shop and business, and gave him directions to do all the trade he could and take care of the receipts ; but the prisoner disposed of everything, shut up the shop, and fled. Among other things was his master's watch and chain. Prisoner was discovered at Manchester. He stated that he had pawned the watch and chain for £2s.—He was remanded. THE CHARGE OF POSTING A FENIAN PLACARD 01V THE MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday Michael Gough, alias William Coffee, was brought before the Lord Mayor and Alderman Sir William Rose, for further examination on the charge of posting a seditious pl acard on the Man sion-house. It will be recollected that the prisoner, a lad of 17 years of age, was observed sticking up a placard relating to Fenianism on the north-west gate of the Mansion-house about half-past 2in the afternoon of Friday, the 24th inst. He was immediately pur sued, and captured in Walbrook. At first he gave the name of Michael Gough, but su b sequently said his real name was William Coffee, and that he lived at No. 16, Uxbridge-street, Newington -causeway. Two police officers went to this address, and found a memorandum book in the prisoner's handwriting, in which were numerous entries relating to Fenian ism of a very extravagant nature. They also found portraits of Burke, Casey, and Duffy, and a num ber of copies of the Universal lvews newspaper con taining reports of the Fenian state trials: It was now stated that there was no further evi dence to offer on the part of the police. The Lord Mayor inquired of the prisoner what he had to say. _ _ The Prisoner—l wish to express ray sincere re gret for my insolent conduct last Saturday. I plead guilty, and trust you will look over my fooli3h conduct. The prisoner's father appeared in court, and said his son way; an apprentice to the bookbinding, and slept at home. _ _ _ The Lord Mayor (addressing the father)--I have received a letter from the priest of St. George's Cathedral, Southwark, who speaks very well of you and your family, and believes you are industrious, honest, and respectable people. Your son has committed a mischevious offence by pasting up this placard on the Mansion-house, and this is not the first time, but the second. The Father—lt is very foolish.

THE BIRMINGHAM MURDER.—No clue has yet been obtained as to the murder of Miss Mary Millbourne, in Ileneage-street, Birmingham, on the 21st January. At an adjourned inquest hold yesterday afternoon a witness living next door spoke to having seen three men coming over the wall surrounding the premises of the deceased about the time of the murder, but said positively that she could not identify any or either of them. Tho coroner, in summing up, said he should communicate the result of the inquiry to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, and probably a Government reward would be offered, which might lead to the discovery of the mur derers. The jury then returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The Courrier Russe contains the subjoinnd : " The official appointment of Mgr. Innocent, Arch bishop of Kamstchatka, to the dignity of Primate of Moscow, in room of the late venerable Philarete, is announced. The new Archbishop, who was but a simple priest 35 years ago, had devoted himself to the holy mission of converting to Christianity the idolatrous population of that Asiatic country, and by his untiring zeal and eloquent language obtained results so impoitant that in a few years there arose a necessity to raise Kamstchatka into a new diocese. The worthy missionary, who was then named Jean Feniaminof, was married and the father of several children. lie repaired to Moscow to lay before Mgr. Philarete the requirements of the new see. During his stay in that city he received the news of the unexpected death of his wife, whom he had left in good health. Having thus become a widower, he was in the condition required for the episcopacy, and Mgr. Philarete did not hesitate to confer on him the dignity to which, in no circum stances, would his modesty have allowed him to pre tend. Mme. Potemkin, w }lois always ready when there is a work of charity to perform, undertook to bring up the missionary's daughters, educate them and marry them honourably. The simple priest then became a bishop, under the title of Innocent, and returned to Kawatchatka, where he exercised his apostolic zeal for thirty years. For some years past he had become Arbishop, and has now been called to the highest functions in the ecclesiastical hierarchy. A better choice could not be made." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

We must say that parties are very slow about fixing their meetings, and no doubt the usual amount of cannoning will take place from not being early in the field. Shrewsbury Spring Meeting.—Several races for this meeting on the flat and over hurdles close on Feb. 11, there being already 22 subscribers to each of the jumping events Durham Races (Easter Monday). —The Durham Iluni Cup, value 50 SOTS in money, closes on Tuesday nex (Feb. 4).

Torquay Steeplechases will take place on April 21st and 22d. Mansfield Races.—The effort to establish another spring meeting promises to be successful, Mansfield —one day only this year—being fixed to succeed Lincoln and precede Nottingham. A capital programme for a beginning has been issued, the result of the joint labours of the Duke of Newcastle and Mr. Savile, both of whom are liberal sup porters of the meeting. The bill of fare is of a very inte resting character, and there appears little doubt of the meeting thus commenced being eventually as important as its two midland compeers. Several of th e s t a k es close over night to the clerk of the course. The Disputed Farmers' Hunt Cup at Donington.— An objection, it will be remembered, was preferred against Come Again, who came in first for the Farmers' Hunt Cup at the late Donin Meeting, on the ground of being a previous winner.

THE COMSTOCK LODE.—HOW MUCII OF TILE ComsTocx as WORKED.—Comparatively few people out side of the State of Nevada are possessed of any definite sort of idea of the size and extent of the Comstock ledge, and what proportion of it has been and still is being worked. In fact, very fow of us Oven in this city, dwell ing directly over the great lode, have a realizing concep tion of the extent of the mining excavations beneath our feet, or of the amount of shaft, tunnel, and drift work which has been done in prospecting in every direction throughout the vast body of vein matter in search of the much-coveted streaks of pay ore. Those of our commu nity, however, who delve with pick and shovel, or whose daily avocation leads them down among the deep mines, hundreds of feet beneath the foundation of our city, can hardly fail to have a fair appreciation of the subject. The Comstock is pretty definitely traced, located, and compa ratively understood for the distance of over three miles, including that portion from Cedar Mil, south, running under this city, Gold Hill, and for a limited distance be yond. As to the width and depth of the lode, those are two points which the profoundest experts, we believe, have never thus far been able legally to decide. From present indications, it is fair to presume that it continues down through the crust of the earth into the molten bowels thereof, but the width is not so easily disposed of. The peculiar hard diarite or " couhtry rock," forming the body of Mount Davidson, is generally conceded to be the west wall of the ledge, but the precise location of the east wall has ever been a subject of legal controversy. We shall not presumptuously attempt here to locate and per manently fix that mythetical institution, but will sim ply state that our own observation makes the real Comstock ledge from 100 to 800 feet in width, being narrower in some localities than in others. The vein matter in the boundaries we hare described is composed of quartz, porphyry, clay seams, "horses," and other spe cies and descriptions of rock formation, the vast majority of which does not come under the head of pay ore. This latter desirable commodity comprises but a very small po: tion of the ledge, lying in streaks or bodies of all sizes, the permanency or continuance of which cannot be calculated or depended upon to a certainty ; thus it is that the famous Mexican mine, which was once considered worth millions, failed altogether to yield pay ore two years ago. There were two rich streaks in it, which narrowed as they were sunk upon, from thirty to forty feet in width, until, at the depth of less than four hundred feet, they gave out en tirely. The mine at present is like a nut with the kernel extracted—the shell remains. The Ophir has a similar history, and the Gould and Curry, once considered the leading representative of the Comstock mines, has little left to brag of. The future hopes of the mines wo have mentioned all lie in the development of new bodies of ore unknown at present writing. Their locations and Fos poets are excellent. The principal bodies of ore which have been, and still aro being, worked this side of the Di vide, aro those included in the Savage, Hale, and Nor cross, and Chollar-Potosi mines. These great bodies are thus far continuous, that portion cropping out at the thiuld and Curry descending thence with a dip to the south, through the Savage and into the Hale and Norcross, while the other portion crops out at the surface of the Chollar Potosi mine, and is known es the old Chollar croppings, The space included by these three mines is about 2,600 foot in length of the lodge, and during the last five or six years many hundreds of thousands of tons of ore have been taken therefrom, the mining having been carried to a depth of nearly 1,000 feet. Let it be b orne in mind that the pay ore even at this point does not constitute occurs followed betvr a e n e do ore internal ar cc there one half of the real extent of the ve i n itself, onlythe streaks Alongorho endiebsarorf. pamineder out. e and Gold Hill, where another rich placer found cropping out on th e sur f ace, and of course immense was exca vations were and are st i ll being made in the extraction of rich bodies and streaks of ore. Probably, altogether, there has boon about the same amount .of space worked out in that section of the ledge as there has on this side of the Divide. It is not an easy matter to compute with any de gree of precision the total amount of space worked out within the three miles to which we allude, but, as will be seen, the bodies of pay ore thus far developed and worked, as compared with the balance of the ledge, constitute but a very small portion of it, probably considerably less than one-tenth part. This estimate, of course, has no reference to the great unknown regions of the ledge below the level of the present workings, which, generally speaking, have not extendo I to more than 700 or 800 feet in depth. Pros pecting shafts, tunnels, and drifts have been run in all di rections through the vast extent of vein matter, in search of pay ore, by the numerous other companies locatedlon o g r the line of the lodge, but thin far without permanentrighteous important success, although the prayers of the citizens of Virginia have always been with them. A huge, indefinite width and leng t h , ran g in g nort h thick plank, of inde ini angle of 45 degrees ~e wi se at an and south, standing ed 6 ls meandering throu oast, with numerous little worin : ho s o zed e spots of a h ry rot to m ils upper edge, and a few go present the shafts, tunnels , drifts, and mining excavations, would give one a to l era bly fair idea of the mining done on the Comstock, and how much of the great lode has b een worked thus far.— Virginia City (Ne vada ) Enterprise. TfIE REPRESENTATION OF LONDON UNIVERSITY. —Dr. Frederick Wood has retired from his candidature for the representation of London University.
