This Company being now completely registered, the Directors take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a_ ltaternent of its progress and prospects. It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought before the public with, equal prospect of speedy and fraccessftd results. The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by ahem, 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 daring that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry' Hunt ey were,;in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry relative to the state 'or the country, the tenure of land, the com. paraiive merits of tatt e ri quartz tatvein in the several districts Of California, and mature deliberatio o advise the Directors As to -their best course of proceeding,. and to take such measures as would enable them to carry out his V iews as speedily as possible. Following these instructions, he has secured for the beuefit of the Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly - or opinion, that for the present, at least, it is mot desirable to under take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to be supplied by those who are posses se4 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, Ne Valley; and pther districts, and this 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 -71ns on inn' enterprise. lie has, therefore, entered into an agree- meat with some American gentlemen, who have'formed a company, and have ope n ed, and, to a considerable extent, worked a - vein of quartz, di.tat about three miles from Grass,".Valley and Nevada , Cite, and about thirty miles ftom Sacramento City, e to crush and by he has already cru hed ama lgamate the quartz to be raised fro th min opened them. By, means of machinery, and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup plied him from this mine • and thh result of his operations bas been to satisfy himself ' that the vein is of a Mil average richness, and that fuel,ocality oilers mimportant advantages in the way of water, means of trans Se c. , /cc. He has, there fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in lied by them with as a few words , a mounts to this; he is to be supp much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing; the quartz its to be deposited at the mills free of expense; he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and g.:ld produced a u to be divided equally between the owners of the vein and br Company. Forrest-1 and legal agreements for carrying clut the above arrangement fairly and honestly, and without any copartnership, have been entered into. te a am-engines and machinery estimated to crush about thirty Ward rtz a day. with fends ,sufficient for putting it irs motion, have been placed under the control of Sir Henry Huntley; and, unless some unexpected delay has arisen, the ma chinery is now actually at work, return will be made about Christmas next. Fer the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company, and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits of other Companies, the Directors ate desirous of calling attention to some of the more prominent 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. assistantsi on the spot, whose only interest is to give as - facts. The Directors of other Companies 'generally b a se the estimate of the value of th e ir mine upon ' calculations founded on experiments upon a few piecesof specimen quartz, sent over to red offe this co fo u ntryale for the:ex press purpose of adver tisin g the commodity r s the British public; we found our calculations upon experiments tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations upon 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 two t o w hich i s as more as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-centage or royalty. The half of the 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 the outlay of capital ex pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the 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. :The paid-up capital of the Company will pot exceed 20,0001. An almost certain estimate of the produce of mir machinery can be formed, and, from the calculations Made, the Directors confidently afnicipate being able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford ,a dividend pf 20ff per cent., at the least, within the next twelve months. .According to' the data furnished to us, the quartz which we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 1/. 17s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Sd. per ton; and, as we can crush and amalgamate at least 20 tens per diem, that would amount to 7461. 13s. 4d.. or 3131. 6s. Sd. per diem as the share of this has Company. bailed By the peculiar ar ran g ements this Company made, 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 been made securing four distinct sites, most carefully selected for alteir eligibility for mining pur poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spa Cornish miners who went out with him, and who have voluntarily rete ndered 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 Direitory was due to those Shareholders who have in fact estab lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken for further augmeating the Directory, and a Special General Meet ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January. In conclusion, the 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 Comeany shall be con ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for warding the interest of the Shareholders. The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can not be affected by the question no' agitated between the holders of leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed now raised relative to the tenure of land an by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arisingdeorntleoasf es.thehadman don y been p oints known to and was maturely considered by those having the control of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtild results. The Directors trust that shareholders will approve of the prudence of the course they have adopted. . may be had upon appli c ation at the offices of th e Proispectuses Company.

The Sanitary Commissioners say the present supply there is " wholly unfit for use, and is highly dangerotts to the health of the persons who drink it." The Company has for its object the supply of pure water at con stant and high service, and WO received the most cordial support from the proprietors, ratepayers, and inhabitants in general of this large district, evidenced by tlYeir numerous petitions and by the re solutions of public bodies, such as the Quarter Sessions, .the District Board of Health, tee. It has long been known that the Wandle water is the purest of any within practicable distance of the Metropolis (seethe public evidence taken before the Committees of the House of Commons.) From this source a minimum supply of 27,000,000 of gallons daily can be ob tained *ithout injury to any one. The present supply of Thames water is abort 9,000,009. The Company, either through the instrumentality of the existing Companies, or by parochial or other public bodies, or their own means, will beablo to send "pnintermittent streams of cool, fresh lucid waterrepoxkling and pure, up every eipart end alley, and to the very garrets of the meanest houses, at a very low rate of charge." And these essentials they.can guarantee ; because, besides the ad mitted superiority of the Wandlo water. which in its natural state possesses a greater " freedom from putrescible organic matter," and -from " discoloration," as well as greater " brightness, clearness, softness. and coolness," than any others, this Company's plan com prises a complete system of intercepting drainage to carry off the impurities of mills and houses—an original and perfect Method of nitration (invented by Mr. F. P. Thompson, the . Engineer to the Company), to be* applied' in the grand reservoir itself ) , 160 feet above Trinity high water mark, whence it will flow in Uninterrupted distribution by mere gravity to the thousands of buildings in the district, in a state as cool and limpid as any well water—and lastly, because the Company apply by their Bill for a compulsory limitation of profits, so that the abuse of high charges will here be an impos sibility, whilst there will be sarcient profit to afford a liberal remu neration to the shareholders. The Thames water throughout contains sulphates and chlorides of some sort, and the watt: at Dittos, besides these, is impregnated with the sewerage of Hampton-court and other districts, compre hending a population of three-quarters of a million. "No amount of boiling can separate the sulphates and chlorides"—they will re main and constitute a permanent hardness. In the Wandle water there is no sulphate or chloride of any sort; but there is present the carbonate of soda, which renders it admirable for all domestic pur poses, and to such " water M. Soyer gives a preference for tea making, even over distilled water." Application for the remaining shares to be made to Messrs.

The requisition convening the meeting was read by the Secretary, and it appeared that the meeting was called in consequence of a resolution passed on the 17th of last month, and which was unanimously agreed to, to the effect that a meeting should be called to dissolve the company. Mr. MACKEY asked the Secretary to inform them of the number of shares that were represented at the meet ing alluded to. The SECRETARY said that the number was 1,310, the total number of shares b e i ng 3 ; 755; and of these 2,801 had sent in their proxies, whil the deed on l y required that there should be 2,787 re p resen ted as the necessary number to dissolve the co m p an y. After this explanation,' Mr. CUMBERLAND m ove d a reso lution to the effect , that the company or association called the West Wheal Copper and Tin Mining Association, as established by deed of settlement dated the 18th of October, 1838, should be dissolved; and the motion having been seconded was agreed to. It appeared, however, that according to the deed of settlement another meeting must be called to confirm the above resolution before it can be deemed final. N.B.

A MEXICAN DUEL. The San Francisco Herald of the 10th, says , " The dead body of a man was found yesterday morning within a few hundred yards of the prison brig, on the road winding round the hill near the north beach. It was horribly cut and gashed with a k n if e i n 18 or 20 places, seven or eight of the wou n d s b e i ng m ortal., The body was lying in a natural positi on , w ith the head resting on the arm, and in the vicinity th e re were no marks of a struggle and no traces of bl oo d. Mr. Gray, the city sexton, Lid an inquest in the afternoon. The name of the murdered man proved to bo San Miguel—the author of this horrible deed a Mexican, named Mancelito, now in the city.

We were last night favoured with ;a private view of the stock entered for :exhibition at the Smithfield Club Cattle Show of the present year, at the specious premises known as the Rarer, in King-street, Portman-square. As compared with the entries at the preceding show, the number at the present one shows a trifling diminution ; the falling off, however, in numbers, is more than made up by the generally improved character of the stook exhibited. Probably at no previous exhibition has there been so much de serving of real praise, or more worthy the attention of those interested in this important department of agricultural occupation of grazing, as in the present ono. There is no feature more deserving of atten tion in the exhibition of the present year than the specimens which illustrate the great advance which has been made in bringing young classes to an early maturity. The proportion ;,which the young classes bear to the older ones is exceedingly favourable, and is a proof that the exertions of the Club during the past few years have not been lost upon our feeders. Tho importance to our graziers of any system which will enable them to bring their young " stock" as early as possible to maturity can not be overrated, and we are happy to see that the labours of the Club in this direction have been so successful. Passing to the next great feature of the show, it will be found, from the awards of the judges, which we give below, that among oxen and steers a large preponderance of the prizes has been carried off by the Herefords ; and of cows and heifers, the most successful as a class have been the " short horns." A third feature worthy of notice is that in pigs, the first prize in each of the three classes, with of course the gold medal, has been carried off by Mr. Coate, of Hammoon, near Blandford, Dorset, for his " im proved Dorset pigs," a circumstance, we believe, un paralleled in the history of the show. Of individual specimens deserving of more particu lar notice, we may mention a fire four years and ten months old Hereford ox, shown by Mr. Heath, of Ludham Hall, Norfolk, one of our moat successful feeders, to which the first prize of 30 sovereigns and a silver medal to the breeder has been awarded. In the second class, which includes oxen or steers of any breed, between three and four years old, a fine symme trical and well-proportioned Hereford, shown by Mr. Longmore, of Salop, rewarded with a first prize of 30 sovereigns and a silver medal to the breeder, is also deserving of notice ; and we may mention also, in this class, a three years and nine months old Here ford, shown by Mr. Heath ; and a three years and eleven months Hereford, exhibited by his Royal Highness Prince Albert ; as also one by his Royal Highness in the third class. A curious specimen, forwarded by the Earl of Derby, as executor of the late Earl, a two year and eight months old Brahmin and short-horned ox, attracted considerable notice. The animal is exceedingly well formed, active, and, from his apparent restless character, it is a matter of surprise how he has made so much flesh. The Earl of Leicester shows a fine four year and one month old, and a three 4Year and eight months old pure North Devon in Classes 4 and 5, both of which have been worthily honoured by the decision of the judges. In Class 7, Mr. Samuel Druce, of Eyns barn, Oxford, shows a short-horned and Hereford heifer, bred by himself, to which the gold medal has been awarded. An important feature in con nexion with this animal is, that one of the principal ingredients of the food upon which it was fed was linseed compound. At a time when the attention of our agriculturists is so generally di • rected to the extension of flax culture, it is a matter of importance for them thus to have an opportunity of witnessing to what advantage the flax seed may be applied for the purpose of fattening cattle. The heifer shown by Mr. Druce may fairly challenge competition with the best animal in the exhibition, and while nearly the whole of its rivals were fed upon ordinary linseed cake, made up of the refuse of the foreign oil crusher, imported into this country, its exhibitor more wisely determined to cultivate, with considerable profit to himself, his own flax, and with a portion of the seed obtain increased facilities for feeding his stock. We were informed, upon inquiry, that the feeder is in the habit of grinding together the flax seed and wheat or barley, and forming of the meal a kind of "gruel," which was mixed with chaff or other articles of dry food, and the compound thus formed was given to his cattle, who thrived re markably well upon it. We would recommend those who have any doubts of the value of home-grown flax seed for fattening purposes, to avail themselves of the opportunity of examining this heifer of Mr. Druce's. Of the sheep exhibited, the most striking specimens are a pen of three twenty-one months' old South Downs, bred and fed by the Duke of Richmond, re warded with the highest medal ; a pen of three twenty months' old South Downs, by Mr. Overman, of Norfolk ; a pen of three twenty months' old Leices ters, by Mr. Bradshaw, of Burley, near Oakham, Rutland; three twenty-one months' old Leicesters, by Mr. R. F. Hall, of Bawtry, Notts ; and three remarkably fine specimens of Cotswolds, bred and fed by Mr. Robert Beman, of Moreton, Gloucester. Some good South Downs are also shown by Prince Albert, by Mr. J. V. Shelley, the Marquis of Exeter, and Mr. A. Beisley. As we have already stated, Mr. Coate has taken the first prizes in each of the three classes of pigs for his improved Dorsets; they are remarkably fine speci mens. Two pens of Bedford and Suffolk pigs, shown by Prince Albert ; one by the Earl of Radnor, of the famed Coleshill breed ; and an immense two-year and-nine-months-old Hereford and Sussex pig, bred and fed by Mr. Culliford, of Hayling Island, are also deserving of notice. It would be impossible for us, in our limited space, to notice individually the various specimens which we might consider worthy of remark, and we must there fore refer our readers to the list of prizes given below for the names of the successful exhibitors, and to the show itself, for the many fine specimens which it con tains. To those disposed to adopt the latter course we may state that great improvements and enlarge ments have been effected by Mr. Boullnois, and that the arrangements are now so complete that the ani mals may be inspected with the greatest ease, and that ladies, even though not attired ala Bloomer, tray safely promenade the cleanly, spacious, and well ventilated pathways; while to others interested in the perusal of the prize list we may state that the awards appear to have beets well and carefully bestowed.

A meeting of this society was held last evening ; Sir Roderick Murchison in the chair. The SECRETARY read the following letter from Captain Penny, containing some further particulars of the search for Sir John Franklin : " Pulmuir, Aberdeen, Dec, 3, 1851. " Sir,—l beg to lay before you, and the scientific body to which you belong, a few observations which came under my notice during my late voyage iu search of Sir John Franklin, which I consider of great importance at the present critical moment. " On the 25th of August, 1850, having joined Cap tain Ommanney on the west side of Wellington Channel, and seen the traces found by him of the missing ships, I considered it my proper course to re turn to the eastern shore of the channel, with the view of examining those parts more closely than had been done before. "The result of my return was most satisfactory, for not until then were the winter quarters of the missing ships discovered ; and, what is of still more importance in my estimation as regards the route of the missing ships, a watch tent upon a height about four miles north and west from the position occupied by the ships. This tent was evidently for the purpose of watching every move of the ice in Wellington Channel. We also saw the ruts of sledges going and returning from making observations upon the channel, and in the tent we found a small piece of paper with the words to be called,'—the other part of which must have been torn off, thus evidently showing that a regular watch had been kept. "On the sth of September, 1850, from the top of Cape Spencer, a height of at least 750 feet, open water was observed beyond the fixed ice in the channel. The strong easterly gales which we experienced some time previous to the above date had counteracted the prevailing current from the westward, and had driven the ice through Queen Victoria Channel into the Arctic Basin. " On the 7th of September a strong northerly gale brought away fifteen miles of ice down Wellington Channel, leaving only about fifteen miles of ice be tween the two seas. " Having commenced our travelling on the 13th of April, 1851, I came upon water and decayed ice on the 15th of May, in the channel between Cornwallis Land and Baillie Hamilton Island, obliging me to re turn by the east of the said island, and then to the north we gained Point Surprise, in lat. 76 2, long. 95 55; The water washed the Point at my feet, and extended 25 miles west. The sky indicated water to the north round Dundas Island. " The moment I stood upon Point Surprise, with a full view to the west, I exclaimed, Through this channel Sir John Franklin has gone in clear water. Oh ! for a boat.' With this conviction on my mind I returned with the determination to use every exertion to get a boat up to this water. " On the 29th of the same month Messrs. Goodsir and Marshall, advancing with their party along the shore of Cornwallis Land, were forced to return for water with still thirty days' provision upon their sledges. " Again, on the 31st May, Captain Stewart, having advanced as far as Cape Becher by the east side of the channel and along Albert Land, came to water, and from a height of 700 feet found nothing but open sailing ice as far as the eye could reach, to the west and north-west. " On the 6th of June a boat was fully equipped, and a journey commenced for Victoria Channel, some of the party having only returned 34 hours from a journey of 31 days. On the 17th of the same month the boat was launched into the water in long. 96 deg. west, and continued to contend for thirty-three days with adverse winds and rapid tides, which brought the drifting ice in such quantities to the east ward as to block up the various channels between the islands, leaving an open sea beyond, seen from the top of Baillie Hamilton's Island. My utmost exer tions were so hampered, that 310 miles of island coast I were examined by the boat party ; but had a strong easterly wind prevailed for only a s h or t ti me, so g as counteract the effects of th e wes t er l y current, whatto might have not been done ev en w ith th at small boat? " It is my conviction that the tide flows from the north-west in Victoria Channel, although there is a ' regular rise and fall of f our feet • still in mid-channel o the current seemed t o run the greater partoouftt, washel2 hours to the eastward, which r hi s c t h, n i have isTa;eV. no d b greatly influenced by th winds which prevailed for a whole mo nth ; but amongst islands and narrow c h anne l s one would re quire longer ti me f or mak i ng o b serva tions to enabl e a doubt, him to speak with certainty on this subject. " In Davis's Straits and Bat En's Bay the tide flows the south, in Lancaster Sound it lows from the s east.' " With the knowledg e we have a waked by our late search, who can now doubt the route Sir John Franklin has pursued P A watch tent to observe every move in the Strait, and the evident signs of a hasty departure, amount in my mind to a conviction that he had passed in open water through Wellington Strait and Victoria Channel, and along Prince Albert's Land, whic h I am stron g ly of opinion ex tends 500 miles N.W.; and until that distance is r e ached no further trace s will be discovered.ds I " Had not Sir John Franklin been farther advance d, would not I have found traces of him on the • islan se arched, or about the headlands where birds build Society." The C HA IRMAN thought the thanks of the society were due to Captain Penny, who was a man of the best practical knowledge of the subject, for a letter which proved more than ever the desirableness of a renewed expedition for the purpose of discovering the . 1 0 of Sir John Franklin. Ile felt that the society, 13 ELC t a in promotin g they could do, and he - glad that they should have taken c xploraticns, had done all that was taken so active part in . the matter. there was great reas eanY Sir E. lan int i mated soundness of Mr. p wag the views, and thought that he now communicated t l t t i e le d s s o l m i e e t 3 ,: u w b h ts en a s it withheld from Captainon to Austin the information which have laid them before his Pen ny' s of him for having duty, having ascertained the facts he now stated, to ever, had no doubt as to thoenf of the search.

Views of the island scenery scenery were exhibited, with some specimens of native cloth and utensils, and portraits of some of the chiefs, productions, Channel. amongst others that of George Tahoe, or King o f the Friendly Islands, with his autograph. The King has professed Christsanity for twenty-one years past, and was described as a very intelligent person. Amongst the sketches was one of the entrance of a pah, at Bea, where Captain Crokff, of her Majesty's ship Favourite, was killed in 1840, in a skirmish be tween the Christi= and heathen parties in the island. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF REAII-ADMIUAL DALY, C.B. —Rear- Admiral of the Red Cuthbert Featherstone Daly, C. 8., died at Haye's-place, Li•ison-grove, a few days since. This gallant officer was on the reserve half pay list, consequently no promotion will take place on account of his decease. Ho served afloat only 13 y s e t a h r u s s , aenpditorni his s d e i d st i i n n:,-,;u h i e distinguished "Naval ear Biography eer durin gthat lone i " Cuthbert Featherstone Daly is second son of the late Denis Daly, Esq., of Castle Daly, county West meath, by Miss Harriet King; brother of Denis Daly, Esq., brigade-major at Portsmouth ; end uncle of Lieutenant John Daly, R.N. This officer entered the navy February 17, 1794, as first-class volunteer on board the Andromache, 38 ; was lieutenant (com mission dated September 30, 1800) of the Atlas, 98, until April, 1802, and appointed senior, March 1, 1803, of the Arrow, of 28 32-pounder car ronades and 132 men, Captain Richard Budd Vincent; he subsequently, in June, 1804, obtained the official praise of that officer for the spirited manner in which, with the boats, he boarded, cut adrift, and then destroyed, under the island of Fano, at the entrance of the Adriatic, L'Actif, French privateer, of 4 guns, although moored with three anchors, attached by a hawser from the mast head to the cliff above her, and defended by a heavy cross-fire from the crew on board, and from the rock, beach, and houses. On February 4, 1805, the Arrow, and her consort the Acheron bomb, were both captured by the French 40 and 38 gun frigates Hor tense and Incorruptible, after a noble resistance of several hours, in which the former ship lost 13 men killed and 27 wounded, and was so shattered that she immediately afterwards settled on her beam-ends and went down. Lieutenant Daly, who was detained prisoner at Carthagena until the following July, next became first of the Diadem, 64, Commodore Sir Home Popham, and, on proceeding to the Cape of Good Hope, was present at its surrender to the British in January, 1806. He was then sent home with the dispatches in the Seahorse transport, and on his ar rival was promoted to the rank of commander, April 10, 1806. Assuming charge, January 8, 1807, of the Comet, of 18 guns, Captain Daly next cruised with great activity on the north coast of Spain, where, in command of four boats belonging to his own vestel and to the Cossack, he landed June 23, 1808, spiked all the guns in Fort St. Salvador de Ano and Fort Sedra, near the town of St. Andero , and was severely scorched in destroying two magazines. On August 11, following, he very gallantly went in pursuit of three of the enemy's cor vettes, one of which, La Sylphe, of 18 guns, he ulti mately brought to close action, and in twenty minutes compelled to surrender. For his distingui,hed con duct on this occasion he WA', rewarded with a post com mission, dated on the 18th of the same month. From May 1.5 to July 14, 1812, he afterwards commanded the Barham, 74, in the North Sea, but since the latter period he has been on half-pay. His advancement to flag-rank took place November 9, 1846. Rear-Ad miral Daly, who received re wards, both honorary and pecuniary, from the Patriotic Fund, was nominated a C. 8., July 20, 1838, and awarded the good service pension, Feb. 19, 1842. He was left a widower with several children, Aug. 14, 1841." AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—Lieutenant F. Gray, of Soutbsea (1814), attended on Sunday evening the service at the new church of St. Jude. He was taken ill, and was carried into the vestry-room, when it was found that life was extinct. Disease of the heart is said to have been the cause of his death. Lieutenant A. O.
