I_, This Company is formed for the purchase of land development of the mineral resources of the Island of Ce lon. " • The fact that Ceylon abounds with mineral wealth has been now ascertained beyond any doubt. The Directors desire to draw attention to the following, taken from " Copies of extracts of correspondence between her Majesty's Government and parties in Ceylon, vide Blue Book, page 15, printed by order of the House of Commons, 21st July, 1847 :"--" Persons the best informed entertain little doubt that the vast mineral re sources of the country hitherto undeveloped, but which are known extensively to abound, will eventually present no inconsiderable feature in the export trade of the country." EXTRACT TAKEN FROM REPORTS OF SIR I. E. TENNANT, LATE COLONIAL SECRETARY OF CEYLON. _ I "Ceylon is rich in minerals. Metallic products comparatively unnoticed in the interior." • EXTRACT FROM REPORT BY DR. TIRE. " Upon the analytical examination of certain samples of sulphuret of copper and of copper pyrites from Ceylon; placed in my hands by lir. Galbraith, as imported for The Ceylon Land and Mining Com pany,' I find that these specimens are exceedingly rich, and vary in composition. Some of them, like that marked No. 22, from Ceylon, contain nearly two-thirds (sixty-six per cent.) of copper for one third of sulphur. (Signed) " ANDREW URN, M.D., F.R.S., Analytical Chemist.

Seventy-five thousand of the above shares will be issued at once, of Which twenty-live thousand have been subscribed for in New York ; and the remainder are reserved to be issued when the property has been inspected and reported upon by a surveyor, and approved of by the Board of Supervision, or sooner, should a general meeting of the shareholders so determine—no payment beyond a deposit of live per cent. upon the first moiety of the purchase money to be made to the vendors until the property be thus approved.

GlnCeS.—ln London :-64, Old Broad-street ; in Paris, 79, Rue Richelieu. This Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne-• vada District, California, the right to purchase the large property of Thos. 0. Larkin. Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain 21,600 acres in ex , ent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz veins and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well adapted for agricultural purposes. The property is described as being situated on the west bank of the Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento River, and to be at a distance of about 195 miles by water communi cation from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga ble for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater portion of the year, vessels can navigate the Feather River up to the property. The estate is freehold, and the vendors guarantee an - indisputable title, free from incumbrances. The mineral importance and value of the property will be best judged of by the following extract from the report of the Surveyor, Nicholas Gray, Esq., who, in September,lBs2, surveyed it as an officer under orders from the United Stat es Government. fter giving a detailed description of each lot, he sums up his report as follows : " I class the whole estate. containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as mi neral land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to the summit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as in the quartz rock. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the south-west corner ofthe Table Mountain. Quicksilver has bean dis covered in the same vicinity, and I have been informed by men of veracity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of the same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather River is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold bearing quartz rock is to be found all along the bank of that stream, and extending back geerally two or three miles. By reference to to the map you have n all the principal points laid down of quartz rock, rich diggings, &c." Further important details will be found in the accompanying document and map of the property; and other particulars of an in teresting nature respecting this extensive territory may be inspected at the office of the Company. Mr. Gray states in his Reportithat specimens of the quartz veins were taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to London for analy sis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the appendix, shows that with careful management a large return for the capital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's mining operations. The working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder for pur chase money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct all the operations of the Company; end it is intended to expend the same chiefly in erecting ex.ensive central mills for grinding the auriferous quartz on the property, and for reducing and extracting the gold from its matrices, whether saints. earths, or quartz, in the most complete, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en couraging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would he commensurate with its value and location, and who would in no Way interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches. The venders have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of Which is included in the present capital, and the remaining half is to be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when dividends to the amount of 20 per cent. have been aid to the Shareholders as before mentioned. The entire price to be thus paid in mottles is probably not one-hundredth part 01 the mere value of the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently of their fitness and eligibility for cultivation ; anti the company have been met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, who do not seek to be paid for the estate,lexcept a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety of the purchase money, until an English surveyor, nominated by the Board of Supervision, shall have examined the estate, reported upon it, and declared it to be in accordance with the prospectus. The price per acre on the portion of purchase•money payable out of the present capital is less than 101. The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected near the junction of the Feather River with the north fork of that river ; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to resi dents, the particular lands to be set apart for this city, looking at the well known rapidity with which American cities are created and peopled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re store to the Shareholders the entire purchase money. An organised system of granting leases of mines on the estate Is also in contemplation, which will yield I t arge returns to this Com pany; and the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of other individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm ing lands, alluvial diggings, cr quartz mining locations, to their vast tracts of territory.. The Board will be prepared to make sales and grant leases of portions of the Feather River Estate. The Board of Supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge ration when expressing their conviction that the estate fairly put to work to its fall capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as dividend—what may reasonably be expected from all succes.ful gold companies—at least 20 per cent. on the entire capital besides bonuses. The investment in the shares must, therefore, be equal to that offered by any other company, either in Australia or California. The Board of Supervision will have the power of carrying out the contract with the vendors. and of settling the statutes of the com pany, under which all its affairs will be regulated. The deposit will be 21. per share, thus paying up the shares in full at the time of allot • ment, and all deposits applicable to the purchase - money received from shares sold will beheld in like manner as the shares wouldhave been if not sold—viz., until the surveyor's report has been received, quiet possession given, and a good title exhibited, and a proper con veyance executed. Applications for shares to be addressed to the Secretary, and to the Brokers of the Company; and no application can receive atten tion unless references be given to Bankers or Stockbrokers. APPENDIX.

AFFAIRS OF BUSINESS.—In every affair of trade, buying or selling, equality and prices, are the condi tions of satisfactory contract. The superior quality of all goods offered to public inspec ion, or made to, order by E. MOSES and SON, is so well known, and has been so long tried, that very little need be said on that subject; but the unity of low prices, and the very best qualities, is a system of business which E. MOSES and SON were the first to introduce, and have been the most successful in carrying out. This they have made applicable to every branch of their gigantic business, and have adhered to it during all changes in the seasons or the markets. They have never hesitated to pay the best prices for the most artistic and accomplished workmanship but they will by no means inflict higher charges on any of their pa trons. The LADIES are furnished with HABITS the most graceful in style, and from the finest and most fashionable materials, or with HOSIERY, the neatest, most novel, and useful. GENTLE MEN are provided with the best materials and workmanship in every description of ATTIRE which their professions, engagements, or the season may render necessary. All good or orders are charged much low. -r prices at E. MOSES and bO.N'S, than at any other house in M.. world. GOLD Flt OM AUSTRALIA—The last arrival amount. ed to upwards of one and a half millions sterling—a large por lion of which was for business transactions in Australia, by E. MOSES and SON, their CI. , lIING having sold for a vast amount of " Golden Treasure," and the satisfaction it is giving, warrants in ve•tments to any extent. A ll EMIGRANTS, 11IERCUANT8, or Smr- Pelts, may avail themselves of the most SALEABLE, because the BENI. and most SUITABLE Goons, at E.

A depart ment kept for Outfitting, and full List of Outfits and shipsailing in formation may be had on application, or post free to auy part of the king iom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as fellows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

The interior of this famed lyric temple was yesterday crowded by an audience 'of a very different character from those who are wont to assemble within its - wafts. The occasion was an attempt on the part of a gentleman, to whom the valuable properties and fixtures of- the theatre were mortgaged about four years since, for a sum amounting with int rest, to 12,000/., to foreclose and realise. The announcement of the intended sale has been some time before the public, but few persons be lieved that the parties chiefly interested in the preserva tion of the property would allow matters to pro.:eed to so desperate an extremity. This impresion was strengthened by the fact of a distress levied or parochial rates a short time ago. upon which a st yl e had been ad vertised by Messrs.Oxenharn, liaving been paid out at the last moment. No withdrawal of the advertisement announcing the second sale took place, however, az.d yesterday, at two o'clock, the portals of her Majesty's Theatre admitted all who. present-A themselves, on payment of one shilling, in consideration of which, each person was presented with a goodly octavo of five sheets, containing a detailed catalogue of the property to be sold in 1,500 lots, varying from "half-a-dozen devils' tunics" to the " superb fittings of her Majesty's box," and thus briefly enumerated in the title-page :—" Ali the tenants' fixtures, fixed and moveable machinery, scenery, the organ (built by Flight), two piano-fortes, three drums, the monstre bass violin, the chandeliers, the furniture of the various boxes, dressing rooms, committee rooms, offices, and other apartments, the valuable library of ancient and modern music, the wardrobe of ladies' and gentlemen's apparel, the stage properties, the fittings of the national concerts, and all other properties belonging to her Majesty's Theatre." There were between 200 and 300 persons present when the auctioner, Mr. Jamca Scott, of Broad-street, ascended the rostrum, which was somewhat theatrically arrayed upon the stage. The parties in attendance consisted chiefly of gen tlemen connected with theatrical property, and some few lawyers. A great deal of whispering had been going on previously, and rumours were rife that the sale would lie prevented at the last moment. Some surprise was therefore felt when Mr. Scott proceeded to read, with out preface, the conditions on which the property was offered for sale. These conditions explained that the whole would be put up at 12,0001. ; that each bidding afterwards must be at least 50/.; that a deposit of 201. per cent. should be paid down ; that immediate posses sion would be given ; and that the property must be re moved within a certain number of days. In introduc ing the property, Mr. Scott remarked that the library of music was, he believed, by general acknowledgment, the finest collection extant. It consisted of 130 modern operas, 150 old operas, and the music for 100 ballets. The wardrobe included nearly 8,000 dresses. li e was quite sure it would be unnecessary for him to dilate upon the valuable property he had the honour to offer, and he would therefore at once ask any gentleman present for an advance on the upset price of 12,0001. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MARCH 1. The stock market was dull, with a drooping tendency rates. No particlar change can be noticed in the de mand or value of money.

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. Last evening a meeting of this society took place at the Royal Institution, Albemarle-street ; Sir Roderick Murchison, President, in the chair. The meeting was very fully attended, and amongst the company were the Marquis of Tweeddale, Earl Gifford, Sir R. Inglis, M.P., Mr. Hume, M.P., Sir T. D. Ackland, Bart, Sir George Nicholls, the Earl of Sheffield, General Sir George Pollock, Sir Walter Trevelyan, Mr. R. Stephenson, M.P., Mr. Lionel Gisborne, Mr. Arrowsmith, Dr. Pitmann, Captain Ommaney, &c. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, and various new members having been elected, a paper was read by Captain R. Fitzroy, R.N., on the Great Isthmus of Central America. Captain FITZROY reverted, in the outset, to his former paper on the Central American Isthmus, read to the Geographical Society in November, 1850, and afterwards printed in the journal, expressing a hope that the present observations might be considered supplementary to what he said on the former occasion, and not in itself sufficient to expound the important question referred to. After some general introductory remarks, Captain Fitzroy took a brief view of seven lines of proposed inter-oceanic com munication. He then alluded to the novel and impor tant information recently received, especially from Mr. Gisborne and Dr. Cullen, and he showed that whatever preference might have been given formally—in 1850—to the Atrato and Cupica line, for a water communica tion, there was no argument that could be adduced in favour of that line which, did not apply with far greater effect to the line proposed between the Gulf of San Miguel and the almost classical locality formerly named by Paterson (who founded the Scotch colony on the isth mus and the Bank of England) the Caledonian Harbour. Captain Fitzroy then examined the geographical de tails of that part of the isthmus, giving a sketch of the present state of our knowledge of the vicinity and a brief outline of its history. He next entered into a consideration of the nature and feasibility of a canal on such a gigantic scale as was contemplated by Sir Charles Fox, Messrs. Henderson, Brassey, Cullen, and Gisborne. He alluded to the labour attainable — to the possibility of employing convicts, and to the prudence of establishing military organisation to a certain extent for the sake of order, and perhaps for defensive measures. He then proceeded to refer to the two great impediments to such an undertaking, viz., the claims of the native aborigines, and the unhealthy climate, and he showed by what means these obstacles might be greatly lessened. He next called attention to Mr. Gisborne's opinions upon the size and nature of such a canal, and advanced others somewhat at variance with them. In conclusion, he referred to certain legal doubts whi c h those who advocated other routes were of opinion onugghitt.s to be solved, and enlarged upon the general character and objects of an enterprise so importa n t, th at (when a survey shall have fully proved the wholeg Governucaarsae)nteei ment would, doubtless, assist in car r yi ng i t out, and all maritime unite in use of all n a ti ons. perfect neutrality w a o n u d ld fre e ed ag o erly mfoi the Somediscussion then ensued upon the subject of th e various surveys which had taken place in the loc a liti es explored, and in referen ce t o the engineering difficulties and expenses necessary to be overcom e ; an d thanks s having a beenndi t r tendered to Captain Fitzroy, for hi s inter esting paper, the meeting separated. GERMANY. A letter from Heidelberg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, states that a Mlle. Hitzfeldt was arrested in that place a few days ago, for having spoken in unbecoming terms of the attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Austria. She had recently arrived from America, to which she fled in 1849, to avoid prosecution for the active part she took in the revo lutionary movements in the Grand Duchy. In her luggage, papers of a revolutionary character were found. A letter from Vienna of the 10th, in the Nation ale Gazette of Berlin, mentions a report of intended modifications in the Austrian Cabinet. It is said that Count Buol, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, will be replaced by the Count de Rechberg, and that the Baron de Bruck will be appointed Minister of Finances and Commerce. The Prince de Casteleicala has arrived at Vienna from Naples, to present to the Emperor of Austria the felicitations of the King of Naples, on the es cape of the Emperor from assassination. The Vienna Gazette announces that the Emperor has conferred the order of the Iron Crown on Count Leiningen. The ex-Emperor and ex-Empress of Austria have subscribed 20,000 florins towards the building of a church, in commemoration of the preservation of the life of the reigning Emperor. The Trieste Gazette states that, when the Turkish Paella at Serajevo learned that the Austrian Consul -1 General in that place had been insulted, he offered him every reparation, and even proposed to exe- I cute the author of the insult. The Consul-General . replied that he could not decide anything on the subject. Thereupon the Pacha caused the man, a police agent, to be arrested, to be publicly whipped in presence of all the employes of the consulate, ' and to be sent as a slave to Constantinople. He afterwards expressed his profound regret at what S u i t c h i e r, E H . ' had taken place.

We have received the Paris jOurnals of yesterday, but although they all contain very long leading articles there is little, in them that would be found interesting to the English reader. . The Constitutionnel attacks the Debats for having spoken favourably of a publication by M. Dollfus, one of the leading men in manufactures in Alsace, in which he recommends the removal of the pro hibition to import cotton thread and manufactured cottons from forei g n countries. The Constita- Venue/ asserts that, notwithstanding the progress that this branch of industry has made in Alsace, it is not yet in a condition to support competition, and must have protection to ensure its prosperity. This journal states, in Alsace, the great majority of the manufacturers differ from M. Dollfus, and, therefore, it infers that he must necessarily be in error. This mode of reasoning, ho wever, is by no means conclusive. Manufacturers w h o h ave car ried on their operation under the protectionist system, are never the first to call' for competition.. Most of them are men who do not see far beyond their . own looms, and from habit they have a na tural dread of innovation. Even in England, where men .engaged in manufactures have more enlarged views than in Most/other countries, the , protectionist system would be still 'flourishing, if the government and legislature had waited for petitions from them for the abandonment of that system. Extensive preparations are making for the Im perial coronation, which will take place on th e 10th of May.

Os. ; board the The report of the directors, to be submitted to the shareholders on the 22d inst., states that the revenue for the six months ending the 31st of January, after the payment of the charges shows a free balance for divi sion among the stockholders of 54,8991., of which the amount required for the preference dividend is 15,6481., leaving available for the ordinary stock 39,2501. Out of this sum the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum. This result is mainly owing to increased traffic, but reduction in the rate of interest on loans and economy in working the traffic have also materially contributed. The traffic for the half-year ending 31st January last amounted to 240,0221., and for the corresponding period of 1852 to 215,1751., showing an increase of 24,8471. The work ing expenses for the former period amounted to 93,5161., or 39 per cent., and for the latter period to 92,5631., or 43 per cent., showing an increase of only 9531, in the expenses, while the increase in the receipts for the same period amounted to 24,8471. The debenture bonds falling due during the last six months have been re newed at 34 per cent. The company's relations with neighbouring railways are on a satisfactory footing. The identity of interest of the Caledonian and Edin burgh and Glagow Companies, and the fairness of the working agreement are every day more apparent, in the harmonious, and mutually advantageous management of the traffic on either side. A good under standing has been come to with the Glasgow and South- Western and. Scottish Central Companies. The agree ment with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company has been modified, in one respect, from the terms of the me morandum submitted to and approved of by the proprie tors on the 9th of June last. Instead of the working expenses of the two companies being kept distinct during the first five years, it has been arranged that the Cale donian Company shall work the Edinburgh and Glasgow lines at 35 per cent. of the latter company's share of the gross earnings, till the entire working charges of both railways shall be brought below that rate, in which event the percentage will be the same to both. The report states that the alteration will tend considerably to re duce the expenses of the two concerns, admitting of one management, which could not otherwise be beneficially carried out, and which constitutes the chief merit of the change. The bill introduced into Parliament gives effect to the alteration. Two other bills are being promoted —one, for the connecting branch with the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, near Glasgow ; branches to the harbours of Greenock and Port-Glasgow; the extension of the Barrhead line to Crofthead ; the erection of an hotel at Glasgow ; an d th e funding of the debenture debt. The other bill, for a branch to connect Clydesdale with the Glasgow and Paisley joint line. The estimated cost of_all these works does not exceed 117,0001., a portion of which will be borne by the Edin burgh and Glasgow Company. The report of Mr. R. Sinclair, the manager, states that the plant has been kept up at its full intrinsic value, and has been employed in conveying a largely increased traffic. The passenger trains during the half-year ran in the aggregate 478,081 miles, the goods trains 309,123 miles, and the mineral trains 253,784 miles—total 1,040,988 miles ; and the pilot engines 106,881 miles. The total cost of locomo tive power was 33,2401., including 10,1301. for repairs, being at the average rate of 7.61 d. per mile, including 2•43 d. for repairs. The cost of working the carriage and waggon stock was 1,643/., or 0•47 d. per mile, and of repairs 1•70 d. per mil e , ma ki ng the total cost o f working stock 9 78d. per mil e per t ra i n .

The mean loads have been for passenger trains 7•74 carriages, and for goods trains 25 . 88 waggons. The capital account showed that 7,453,639/. had been expended, leaving a balance of 188,9751. The ordinary share capital amounts to 3,147,4811., the preference shares to 745,1801., the loan capital to 1,979,7271., and the guaranteed capital to 1,770,2261. ; total, 7,642,6151. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 31st of January last showed that 245,7541. had been received and 97,3041. expended, including 3,7881. passenger duty and rates and taxes, leaving 148,450/. Out of this sum 4,762/. is deducted for feu duty and compensation, 45,619/. for interest, 1,5761. debenture charges, and 41,236/. guaranteed dividends, leaving a balance of 54,899/.

Should he require to increase or decrease the amount of his policy, he can do so at pleasure. lie can at any time, by giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw env part from 11 up to the whole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he has withdrawn part one year he can, by a stogie payment, three years, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even its former amount; and by this system he can at all times regulate his annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the nargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that be gets Inte rest for his money, and in case of death his family receive more than the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices be can do no such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any ibnd to ily to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his more fortunate co-assurers. Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the bands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. _ _ In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT system aro still more striking.

By the author of "Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland." Th e AtholAnn, in its notice of this charming tale, observes :—" We prefer Harry Muir' to most of the Scottish novels that have appeared since Galt's domestic stories were published. This new tale, by the author of Margaret Maitland,' is a real picture of the weakness of man's nature, and the depths of woman's kindness. The narrative, to repeat our praise, is not one to be entered on, or parted from, without our regard for its writer being increased. The early months of this year were already remarkable for their novels by female writers, but Harry Muir' may be mentioned together with 'Ruth and Villette.' " [ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills for Rheumatic Pains, and the Cure of Tic Doloreux.—Mrs. Harriet O'Donnell, a lady of property, residing in Union-street, Plymouth, states in a letter to Professor Holloway, dated November 10, 1852, that she was afflicted for nearly five years with frequent attacks of Tic Doloreux and Rheumatic pains. Medical aid had no effect what ever in alleviating her sufferings, the attacks left her in a weak and debilitated condition, and her bodily health was very much impaired. In this deplorable state she was induced to try Holloway's Pills, and by persevering in their use the pains became gradually diminished, and ultimately she,, was restored to health and strength. Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 9th have arrived. The Senate was to meet on that day to discuss two propositions presented by members of the opposi tion, one relative to railways, the other to the liberty of the press. The committee on the affair of General Narvaez has nominated M. Arrozola president, and the Marquis de la Pezuela secretary. Although consisting of only seven members, the committee, it appears, is greatly divided in opinion. Three of the members, belonging to the moderate opposition, maintain that General Narvaez is per fectly in the right in demanding to be tried by his peers • two others think it would be mo re p ru d en t to declare that the Senate is not called on to adopt any resolution on the subject, and thereby cut short all deliberation; and the two others propose to de clare simply that the General is entitled to return and take his seat, without deciding on his applica tion to be tried. It is not known, it is said, what resolution the committee will end by adopting, and still less what the Senate will do. In the Chamber of Deputies no business of importance was trans acted. The Three per Cents. were at 43 7-16. ITALY. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 10th, announces that martial law has been proclaimed at Cremona, .in consequence of a sentinel having been killed by a shot while on dutY. The following statement, by which it is attempted . to show that Mazzini had been received in Italy by Lord Minto on the night of the 17th ult., but which appears to us to be utterly unworthy of credit, is given in the Augsburg Gazette. It is dated from the Po, without any town being named, the 7th ult.:—" It is known that Lord Minto has been re siding since last summer at Nervi, near Genoa, for his health. In the night of the 17th of February, the boat of an English steamer landed a man who had no need to have himself announced in order to be received in the house of his lordship. This fact has caused some sensation. The intendant-general has reported the matter officially." The Press of Vienna has the following on the same subject : Lord Minto is at present residing in the vicinity of Genoa. In the night of the 17th or 18th of Feb., a man was lauded from the barge of an English steamer, in the neighbourhood of his lordship's house at Nervi, in which he disappeared. Every body concurs in stating this man to have been Giu seppe Mazzini, and the supposition looks the more like truth, when it is remembered that it was really in the vicinity of Genoa that Mazzini embarked." The Opinione denies the report that Mazzini had embarked for Malta on board of the English fri gate Retribution. Mazzini knew perfectly well that this frigate was not bound for Malta, but for Leghorn, where she arrived on the 28th ult. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 4th. The State Consulta was daily and seriously occupied with business. On the 2d, it discussed the Budget of the War department. Before 1848 the Roman army amounted to about 18,000 men, who cost the State 1,700,000 piastres (9,214,000 f.) a year. The bill now before the Consulta demands an effective force of 13,000 men, for the expenses of which the Minister has demanded 2,200,000 piastres (11,924,000 f.) or nearly 1 million of francs per 1,000 men. The attempt against the life of the Emperor of Austria had excited great indigna tion at Rome. A Te Deum was sung in thanks giving for his escape on the 3d in the German church. The Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux was expected at Rome to receive his hat. The Father General of the Jesuits remained in the same state, lying between life and death. 4 I
