Since the reduction of the charge for admission on Saturdays the barrier of exclusiveness which pre viously hemmed in the Crystal Palace on that day may be said to have been effectually broken down. The merely fashionable loungers are fled, or nearly so; and their presence can seldom be detected amidst the vast body of persons of the well-to-do middle class of society who now make so formidable a show. On Saturday last the number of visitors was very great, and scarcely to be exceeded by the attendance on any Saturday for months past. It was evident by the perseverance with which they traversed the various avenues that they were there determined to make the best and the most of their time. Fine weather and a balmy atmosphere too, combined with the splendours of the Exhibition, had the effect of in ducing more than the ordinary number of invalids to leave their couches, resort to the glass hive in Bath chairs, and to the extent of their ability maintain the industrial character of the scene. Throughout the day the temperature of the building was exceedingly agreeable, and the visitors being in no respect straitened for space, and able to move to and fro with facility, and without jostling against one another, the view from the galleries of the transept and nave wore an unusually animated and pleasing appearance —animated and pleasing as it is at alt times, even under the least favourable circumstances.

When the cup is first put in the dish it is full of cold air, and when the pie is placed in the oven this air will expand by the heat and fill the cup, and drive out all the juice and a portion of the pre sent air it contains, in which state it will remain until re moved from the oven, when the air in the cup will condense, and occupy a very small space, leaving the remainder to be filled with juice; but this does not take place till the danger of the juice boiling over is past.

They then disclose the working beneath the surface. Their ores are next exhibited, as well as their coal and their fluxes for smelting the ores. Then come their furnaces in well-executed working models, the rough metal produced by those furnaces, and, finally, the several kinds of refined manufactured iron. In No. 417 is exhibited another useful iron manufacture in the shape of tin plates from the Cwm-avon Works in South '\Vales ; and the housewife who daily boils her kettle, and scours her saucepan, may here see the plates from which they are formed by the skill of the workman. The same Cwm-avon Works exhibit a book of iron, the leaves of which are as fine as coarse paper, and also a huge bar, 63 feet long, in the form of a rail, which has been rolled in one continuous length to exhibit the capability of the works for roll ing, but which, as if in burlesque upon its immobility, has been placed amid other " machinery in motion." Rich varieties of iron ore may be seen in the speci• mens numbered 405 and 420, from the districts bor dering on Cumberland ; and in No. 423 we observe some curious samples of iron lately brought into the market from the lias formation, which promises to give an industrial impulse in a part of the country hitherto available only for agriculture. The next metallic ore which attracts the attention is zinc, exibited by the Vieille Montagne Company in No. 437, and also in a throned statue of her Majesty, which is placed in the east nave, and is rendered more conspicuous by its peculiar tint of variegated green. Zinc is a metal of comparatively recent in troduction into the snore common domestic uses in this country ; but on parts of the continent, more particularly in Belgium, its use is more extensive than with us. Its cheapness and resistance against atmospheric injury are much in its favour, while, on the other hand, its want of tenacity prevents its appli cation to those numerous positions where strength is required. At a considerable heat this metal will in flame by contact with a sufficient draught of air, and may be made to burn with a brilliant light of bluish white. The limestone ranges of Derbyshire, Flint shire, and Somerset are its principal localities in the United Kingdom, and the wanderer through the metropolis has only to cast his eyes up to our roofs and chimney-tops to see a practical illustration of the extent and infinite variety of shapes in which this mineral may be employed in aid of the faulty chim ney-flues constructed by our architects and builders. The ores of copper attract attention by their num ber, and the evident care and completeness with which they have been prepared for exhibition by va rious contributors. Cornwall supplies by far the greater portion of specimens, but Wales has also con tributed, although not in proportion to the wealth and extent of her marketable supply ; and Ireland, while generally delighting to show that she has gold in some of her recesses, rather than copper or the more ordinary metals, has creditably added to the stores of the Exhibition, through the medium (chiefly) of the Dublin Society for the Encouragement of Na tive Industry. The Cornish specimens will afford to the visitor the most comprehensive view of our copper ores, as affording a beneficial source of national industry. We may draw attention more particularly to No. 453, supplied by the Redruth local committee. The ore is exhibited in the states in which it is found by the miner and picked out by him, and his working operations in the mines are illustrated by the models and drawings (451, 452, and 524). The ore in these rude states may be compared with the lumps of native copper, Nos. 454, 517, and 518, which the miner sometimes stumbles upon in the course of his working. The lumps of rocky ore, when brought to the surface, are stamped or pounded into small gravel, and these particles are washed in some cases by hand, and in others by machinery, in such way that each process separates the heavier or more metal lic particles from those which contain less metal and by consequence are lighter. The latter rising to the top are swept off from the bucket or sieve in order to be again put to the washing test, and eventually (as seen by the specimens before us) the various degrees are assorted on the mine floors, which are yards pre pared in a convenient position among the mine build ings for the purpose. Some of the machinery for pumping as used in Cornish mines may be seen in the room with " machinery in motion," but we have not observed any model which gives us anything like an illustration of that beehive of activity and industry to which a Cornish mine may be likened during those frequently recurring periods when the ores, having been reduced to the powdered states in which the se veral qualities can with some degree of certainty be ascertained, are being laid out in their respective " sample heaps." To this activity and the peculiar management which leads to it we may hereafter advert, bearing as it does in an important degree upon the moral and social position of the Cornish miner. We must, however, now turn to the Swansea Committee, No. 473, who (literally receiving the ores from Cornwall for the simple reason that it has been found cheaper and better to take the ore to the coal, which is in South Wales, than to bring the coal over to the ore in Cornwall) show us their process of roasting the ores and of smelting out the copper into the several states refined so as to suit the various purposes of the market. In this place the visitor may advanta geously compare the different specimens of ores from abroad and those from the United Kingdom, which come alike to be smelted in the coal-bearing districts of South Wales. A few years ago the restrictive duties on the admission of ores from abroad con fined the operations of the smelter chiefly to ores purchased in the home market, and the practical operation of the duty in addition to this limita tion also tended to stimulate the erection of smelting works in other coals bearing districts abroad. It was foreseen that the British smelter would receive an advantage if the duty were removed, but it was also apprehended by many practical men that this advantage would be gained at the expense of the British miner, whose ores not only contain a smaller quantity of metal than many foreign ores in proportion to the mass, but whose mines are more nearly worked out and more difficult and expensive to work than some of the virgin districts abroad. Hap pily the advantage has been gained and the fear proved groundless. The smelting trade has largely increased, and the British miner was never employed to greater extent than during the last year or two in which the change of duty has come into practical bearing. The tin trade is also illustrated side by side with copper in several specimens between Nos. 440 and 469, especially in the processes as shown by Messrs. Bolitho (440), and in the block shown in No. 468, which by traditionary lore is supposed to have been smelted for the ancient trade of the Placenicians. The Crown receives a duty or Lordship on tin pro duced in Cornwall and Devon, and this circumstance has materially hampered the producer, not only by rendering it necessary that he shall smelt his ores at certain spots in Cornwall, sometimes distant from the sites where the ore is found, but also by compelling him to comply with certain forms which occasion de lay in the execution of orders, and tend to keep the trade in that position which requires a large capital for its development. With this explanation the model of Messrs. Bolitho may be regarded as a partial representation of smelting-houses erected by them close to their residences, and coming under the class of works which the industry of Englishmen has forced into successful operation notwithstanding the pressure of fiscal difficulties. Lead is the next mineral of well-known impor tance that is exhibited in the section of minerals belonging to the United Kingdom, and in the metho dical manner by which the principal producers of this article have endeavoured to illustrate their works, they are second to none in the Crystal Pa lace. The principal lead mines are in Durham and Cumberland, next comes those of North Wales, and some in Scotland, and the remainder of our home supply is furnished by Cornwall, Devon, and Shrop shire. Lead is rarely, if ever, found in a native or pure state. Its admixture with oxides, carbonates, sul phurets, and other extraneous matters, makes it im portant that the processes of purification should be as simple and little expensive as possible, so that the British producer may be able to vie with his foreign rival, whose ores are purer. In this light the visitor may view with interest the illustrations by which (as in Nos. 483 and 484) are shown the ore as first raised, the breaking or crushing, and washing of the ore, so as to assort it in relative degrees of value — then the roasting and smelting, and, finally the re fining and extracting its more valuable co-partner, silver. The latter process depends upon the peculiar property of lead when molten and slowly cooling to consolidate in crystals, while silver re tains its fluid state for a longer period. Taking advantage of this, Mr. Pattinson, some years ago, introduced the repeated refinery, by separation of the crystals, leaving a final residuum of lead with a quan tity of silver in it of such value as to render the loss of the lead a matter of little consequence. This lead is then driven off from the silver by cupellation (a modeupby fusion in a cup called a "cope],") ndthe analysing remains to enrich the returns c 4:f , a of the lead mine, as exhibited by the Duke of Buc i cleuch in No. 509, and by Mr. Sopwith in his massive, shield-like lump of this precious mineral. The remainder of the mineral kingdom is less pre. minently illustrated in the British department than (From the Times.) We hear that to-morrow a meeting of the Royal Commission will be held to settle finally certain mat ters on which it is necessary to come to a decision before the Queen and the Prince leave for Balmoral. As the public will readily conjecture, the principal questions thus about to be discussed are, no doubt, the exact date on which the building should close, and the manner is which that event should take place. On the first point, it seems probable that an early day in October will ba fixed for the purpose, as otherwise contributors from the north of Europe may have their goods overtaken by the winter ice; and, under any circumstances, at that period the pleasure-seeking season of the year is over. 'We may therefore fairly take it for granted that the building will close on some day before the middle of October. Upon this arise a variety of questions, which it is necessary that the Commission should dispose of at once, and the proper solution of which will require the exercise of much care and discretion. Shall the Great Exhibitiot terminate as it commenced, with a State ceremorial, giving solemnity and honour to the last act of its existence, or shall it go out quietly, and after the ordinary fashion, without pomp or show ? That is the first point to settle. Suppose it is arranged that there shall be a ceremony, then the question arises what ought to be its character, so as to render it effective and worthy of the occa sion ? It is a natural feeling that would connect with the closing day a ceremonial in which merit should be recognised by Royelty, and we believe that when the scheme of the Great Exhibition was first started some indirect hopes of such an honour were held out by Prince Albert. The public, how ever, is reasonable, and will not expect in this matter more than is practicable. Supposing all other difficulties removed it would be clearly too much to ask the Queen to present even the great medals. Such a task would occupy too much time, and be tedious as a spectacle. It does not, however, by any means follow that on this account the Exhibition should be closed quietly, and without a ceremonial suitable to so remarkable an event. So lame and impotent a conclusion would, we think, cause genera: disappointment, and be especially unpleasing to the large and influential body of men who, as jurors, exhibitors, or in some other capacity, have laboured and made many sacrifices for the success of this great undertaking. It will not do to behave unhandsomely, or to give scope for grumbling now that the success of the Exhibition is undeniable, and no one can doubt that, with patience, good management, and a generous condescension, the harmony and goodwill which have hitherto prevailed need not be disturbed. As for the prizes, though the names of the successful competitors will of course be announced at once, months will no doubt elapse before the medals commemorative of their triumphs can all be prepared and distributed. We trust, however, that these decorations will not be quite so long delayed as those of our Peninsular veterans. It has been rumoured for some time, and is generally believed, that every exhibitor will be presented with a medal as a memorial of his contributions, though he may not have been fortunate enough to carry away a prize. This will no doubt contribute much to heal jealousies and soothe disappointments. Proceeding with our examination of the mineral wealth of the United Kingdom, we find next in order, as exhibited along the south side of the Crystal Pa lace, a most abundant and well-arranged series of specimens of our staple ores, viz., iron, lead, tin, and copper, accompanied by maps and working plans and sections, and models of the mines or strata in which they lie, and of the modes by which they are ex tracted and brought into marketable condition. Our iron ores are, happily, so associated with our deposits of coal that to illustrate the extent and position in the present day of almost any iron-bearing district in the United Kingdom, except in Devon and Cornwall, necessarily involves the view of a coal-field, and, ac cordingly,in this quarter of the Exhibition are also grouped a most interesting collection of models of collieries and specimens of their produce. We may especially draw attention to No. 273 for theinstruction of the visitor, but it is impossible to give too much credit to the numerous individuals — in many cases " working men"—who have devoted their time and skill in contributing to the view of England's invited guests the m i n i a t u r e illustrations of the basis of England's wealth. No other portions of the Exhibition, whether colonial or foreign, show so much skill and attention to illustrate the practical operations of that large class of our population occu pied in producing the coarser species of wealth ; and no portion of the Exhibition, not even that occupied by our machinery, with its almost self-creating powers, can give to the inquirer a better view of the intimate springs out of which have arisen, and of the resources upon which rest, the power and stability of the nation. To obtain a clear insight into the iron districts of the United Kingdom, we may first exa mine the table of Mr. Blackwell, No. 427. Here we find the several districts in which iron ore occurs marked out by lines on the table, and their relative importance is tolerably well indicated by a glance at the respective extents of these spaces. In this respect South Wales stands first ; but we must not imagine that the quality of iron in any one district is con comitant with its extent. The extreme variety to be met with in the quality of ores is one of those simple means by which Provi dence appears to have designed to arouse the intelli gence, and at the same time to render more intimate the connexion of man with his fellows. Thus no one iron foundry is so perfect in the make of iron from its own produce as it is enabled to become by mixing its own or es with those from adjoining or distant works; an d in this way South Wales forms a useful connexion with Staffordshire, with the Dean Forest, and even with Lancashire, which is mutually beneficial to the maker of iron and to the public who consum e his p roducts : Besides the above districts we have the Shropshire, the North Wales, the West Cumberland, Northumberland, Der byshire, the Yorkshire Has district (which is dim tinet from the Great Yorkshire coal and iron field), and the isolated districts of Devon and Cornwall, which send to the furnaces a description of ore well calculated for the production of steel. Oar fore fathers were more limited in their choice of ore s , and the small space assigned on Mr. Black well' s table to the Sussex specimens may well illustrate the comparison of the make of iron in Great Britain 100 years ago, which then a mounted to about 30,000 tons, whereas in 1850 the make is supposed to have amounted to more than SO times that quantity, o r two million and a half tons ! This general review of the iron-bearing districts of England is surrounded by particular illustrations of the mineral produced, and the mode cf turning it to marketable account in each locality. The Butterley Company exhibits, in No. 400, the iron of Derbyshire in its various stages. Staffordshire is ably illustrated in No. 411, by specimens of the various " makes" of iron, from the coarsest " pig" to the finest wrought "bars ;" and No. 416 may be consulted as exhibiting, on one side, the rough block of ore, and, on th e o th er , it s product worked out by the skill and industry of the artisan into the form of a highly ornamental drawing room grate, with its accompany in g fender and fire irors The Ebbw Vale Company have sent from South Wales perhaps the most complete illustration in the Crystal Palace of the whole process of working this voluble mineral.

Excellent freestone is exhibited, and also gypsum and its crystallised variety called selenite. Large quantities of this mineral are raised in this province and export e d f or manure . G ra y copper-ore and native copper, of fair quality, appear on this table, and some oxide of manganese. Some interesting fossils of the carbonaceous series have been sent by the Central Committee of Nova Scotia, and one lump of coal of good bituminous quality. But where are the specimens of the General Mining Association, which company leases the Crown mi nerals reserved by ancient Crown right in Nova Scotia, and which comprise by far the larger por tion of the mineral property of the province ? Property has its duties as well as its rights, and we cannot but be surprised that a name so distin guished as that of the leader of the Transatlantic steam navigation should not have been attached to a copious and well-arranged series of freestones, coals, iron -ores, and limestones from the basins of Pictou and Cape Breton, where that gentleman has the prin cipal direction of the affairs of the General Mining Association. in some of them from abroad. Gold has not been exhibited by Ireland, although a few fragments are to be met with amid the older rocks which encircle the eastern coasts of Wicklow and Wexford, the value of which, when extracted from the ore, has not yet paid for the cost of extraction. Plumbago or black lead, and some of its products, are well exhibited in the numbers from 64 to 69. This mineral, while found in Spain, Germany, Ceylon, and even in Greenland, has been found in superior quality in England; it usually lies in gneiss, and mica or transition slate, and so valuable was the discovery of a large deposit of it in Cumberland a century ago thought to be, that the proprietors of the mine suffered severely by robberies both secret and open, and extraordinary precautions are still taken to prevent the abstraction of the mineral by the workmen. In No. 477 may be seen specimens of platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium, uranium ; of these platinum is the least unknown in public repute, the Russians having coined part of their currency in it, and the philosophical installment makers having brought it into common use for their purposes. South America and Spain, as well as Russia, pro duce this metal, but the chief supply is from the Dural Mountains, and in all these cases the geo logical character of the locality is nearly the same, namely, auriferous and quartzose sands, su perficial in their position. Though platinum is the heaviest of metals, ranking in this respect before gold, it is also equally ductile, and may be beaten out into leaves or films which the breath will blow away, floating in the air. Palladium is one of the discoveries of the present century, and is found combined with platinum, and also in Germany, where it is combined with selenium (a sort of metallic sul phur). Palladium may be familiarly described in its properties as being a steel-like silver, hard in texture, and not liable to tarnish in the air ; hence it has proved a useful ally to the instrument maker, in all cases where finely graduated lines or marks are re quired which must bear exposure to the atmosphere. iridium, so called from the rainbow colours which it exhibits in different chemical states, is found but rarely, and then usually as a companion of platinum ; it has not yet been applied usefully in the arts. Rhodium is also a companion of platinum, and derives its name from the beautiful rose colour which it may be made to exhibit ; its present use is chiefly confined to hardening the nibs of metallic pens. Uranium is found in Cornwall and Germany, but is rare, and has not yet been applied more successfully than iridium. Sulphur is exhibited in No. 23, and is a foreign specimen. The sulphur of the United Kingdom, which was found chiefly in combination with copper pyrites (or mundic), has been superseded by the foreign pro duct, chiefly from Sicily. In a quarter of a century the consumption in these kingdoms has increased nine fold, and while we cannot emulate the native purity which the sulphur of Sicily possesses, it is to be hoped that our industry exerted upon the purer material is more than compensating us for the loss of our busi ness in the raw article. Arsenic, which is so well known in glassmaking and dyeing, or printing, is not so well illustrated as we could wish, especially as our na tive science and industry have of late years found a field in the reduction of this metal from some of the refuse ores of Cornwall. Arsenic as a metal is too brittle and soft for use, and is therefore known in commerce chiefly as an oxide in the form of powder. The yellow amber-like crystals seen in the refining pot are extremely beautiful, and we hope this hiatus in the industrial specimens of the Crystal Palace will shortly be filled. Nickel, of which specimens are exhibited in No. 476, is found chiefly in Germany, but also in Hungary, France, and England. It has been more generally kcown f late years under the name of German silver, and is chiefly extracted from the ores of cobalt. Manganese is exhibited in No. 505, and is found in considerable quantities in Devon and Cornwall, and also in Germany and Pied mont. In the form of a metal it somewhat re sembles cast-iron, but its readiness to combine with the oxygen of the air renders it difficult to retain in the metallic form. It is used in bleaching, in the potteries, in glassmaking, and in some other arts, and its production gives employment to an industrious section of our population in the west of England. In conducting the visitor beyond the precincts of our island minerals we shall request him to pass through the western nave, and (before we begin upon our colonial wealth) observe the gigantic crystalline masses of alum, which stand nearly behind those equally gigantic specimens of law—my Lords Eldon and Stowell. Alum employs an industrial portion of our population on the north-east coast of Yorkshire and in Scotland, where it is extracted from the earthy clay called alumina, combined with sulphur and pot ash or ammonia, but is found with a basis of superior quality in the Papal States and in Syria. It is used for clarifying liquors, and in dyeing, leatherdressing, paperhanging, and other arts. Canada also shows her samples of various ochres, and of barytes, labradorite (felspar), jasper, peristerite, and agates; some good whetstones, lithographic stones, limestones, marbles (in between 30 and 40 varieties), and gypsum. This mineral, more com monly known by us under the name of plaster of Paris, is a sulphate of lime, and is used in America to an immense extent for manure, for which purpose it does not appear to have found fav our in this country; probably the cause of this may be fount in the circumstance of the larger proportion of car bonate of lime contained in the Transatlantic deposits of this mineral. It is also used in pottery manufac factures, and for moulds, and the more common models and statues, its softness and little tenacity rendering it too liable to injury to be used for the more valuable works of the sculptor. Samples of compact and fine granite appear in this colonial series, and also of serpentines and slates ; the quality of which is coarse, but will probably improve as the quarries become more fully opened. So long as the settler can find at hand a oovering for his roof of the " shingles," or wooden tiles, chopped roughly out of the smaller logs, while the larger logs form the walls of his house, he will not be disposed to delve beneath the surface of the soil for building-stone or slates, but the day is fast coming when the clearing of the forests in the neighbourhood of Canadian towns will bring these more enduring materials into us , e , among the multitude (there are no " middle classes in North America), and as that day advances in dustry will find her sure reward in working upon these fine mineral stores with which Providence has studded this colony. 'We may also notice the pitchstone, soapstone, and fuller's earth which are exhibited as samples of another useful series of indigenous minerals. Grains of gold are shown from the eastern extremity of the colony bordering on the United States, but we do not advise our Canadian friends to let any Californian visions divert them from the steady application of their industry to deve lope the less glittering minerals which we have briefly enumerated. We see no specimen of coal from Canada, and if the absence of such correctly leads us to conclude that no basin of that mineral has yet been discovered in the province, we may assure the Canadians that they will some day be made aware of the importance of connecting themselves more closely with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, where this mineral is abundant. Without cheap fuel of strong quality and small bulk, the process of smelting, forging, and raising steam can be carried on only to disadvantage, and the industry of Canada must be exercised prin cipally on raw material, until she puts herself in a position to command a good supply of the all-powerful stimulator—coal. The sister province of New Brunswick has not been entirely idle amid the general e xcitement to contribute to the show of industry of all nations ; but this is all we can say, inasmuch as the samples of iron ore, manganese, plumbago, and pitch coal, which com pose her entire list of mineral specimens, ar e most paltry as an index of the mineral wealth which really exists in that fine province. New Brunswick is somewhat larger than Ireland ; the greater part of her soil is fertile, and is covered with fine forests. Two thirds of her boundary line are formed by the sea, and, as a consequence of these conditions, the energie s of her inhabitant s have been absorbed by timber cutting and by fisheries. She possesses, boweve, vast stores of coal, of ore, and of stone, tempta building and to the arts, and as soon as the fishing lions to " lumbering" (cutting timber) ad applicable to on the small scale diminish before the advance of population and the demand for New Brunswick produce of morn skilled labour, then will the star of of its place amid the more solid and valuable . of the chaplet which adorn the brow of our Imperial Victoria. snore industrious, and h.

There are also exhibited by the same gentleman various samples of marble, some of which are fine in texture and of good colour, but apparently not suf ficieutly clone and even-grained to compete with the Let us hope that the omission will be rectified as soon es another opportunity is presented ; and sure we are that no effort of the Mining Association will be disregarded which may show to the inhabitants of this fine province that their mineral wealth is skilfully handled, and its prodncts are available for their use in competition with those of all the world beside. British Guiana has sent some good samples of clay, which may be turned to account in bricks and pot tery when her population presses upon the present abundant resources of the forest. Trinidad appears to be rich in some of the most useful minerals. Her pitch, petroleum, and mineral oil, are specimens of one of the most extraordinary natural formations in the world, viz., the Pitch Lake of Trinidad. This lake is about three miles in circumference, and situ ated on high land in the interior of the island. In the cooler season the surface will bear the human foot, but in hot weather the surface becomes liquified and cannot then be walked upon. Deposits of pitch or asphaltum are almost invariably found in association with the more recent geological formations, and in that of Trinidad traces of volcanic agency are abun dant in the vicinity of the lake. The Dead Sea is another remarkable locality whence asphaltum is obtained ; but there the mineral flows from springs into the waters of the lake, where as in the basin of Trinidad the entire surface of the lake is asphaltum, and if water be beneath it, of which there are some indications, the depth of asphaltum is such that it has not yet been penetrated, so as to arrive at the supposed underlay of water. Lignite (coal) and anthracite (coal) are exhibited; also mag netic and hematitic iron ores, and slates apparently from the surface, and therefore coarse, but promising well for further discoveries. With these elements we cannot but think that a good mineral survey of Trini dad would afford information of a highly valuable character ; and would probably develope large sup plies to be obtained of excellent coal. Trinidad is admirably situated for giving the benefit of such supplies to the steam navigation which is now beginning to connect all the shores and islands in the eastern seas of Central America ; and we trust that ' the Governor, Lord Harris, who has laudably ex erted himself to send for the inspection of the world such useful beginnings from an island hitherto com paratively unknown, will not relax until he shall have shown that the seat of his government is on the high road to wealth and prosperity by the aid she will give to the commerce of Central America in cheap supplies of mineral fuel.
