CONTINUOUS DECREASE OF OUT-POOR I>t MAN-
ennernit.—A return made to the Manchester board of
Waof relief granted to out-door poor daring the
eisarsfrona March 29 to Sept. 27, as compared with the
money so paid in the corresponding 26 weeks of last year,
it meat remarkable for the uniform decrease which it exhi-
bin. The table gives in separate columns the payments to
noel clan of out door poor, under the beads " settled,"
ss atm-settled," and " Irish ;" but what is singular La the
retain is, not merely that the decrease is progres-
sive through each of the two half years, but
that the decrease is shown under each head.
Thus if we take the " settled " pose for the week
ending April sth, 1851, which was 2401., and compare it
with the payment to the same class in L. corresponding
week of this year, we find a decrease to 2181., whilst the
" non-settled " have gone down from 1041. to 951., and the
" Irish" from 2261. to 2021. Going to the bottom of the
columns we find September 27, 1851, the payments to
these classes had decreased respectively to 219 L, 951., and
1645. ; and in the sane weeks this year to 1561., M., and
1641., and so steady has this decrease been that in no one
week in the last half year have the payments for settled,
unsettled, or Irish been equal I. the payments for the
one week in those classes during the corresponding week
et 1861. The totals stand thus :—Settled, 5,9381. in 1851,
NM 4,7161. in 1862, or a decrease of 1,2201.; non-settled,
%Pa in 1861, and 2,2241. in 1852, or a decrease of 4121.;
Irish, 6,1981. in 1851. and 2.R121/ in 1552, or • il•oreue of
1,312/. The gross decrease in the half year es thus shown
to be 2,9451 16e., or, in round numbers, about equal to six
thousand pounds sterling per annum.
COPMPO MINING COMPANY.—A general meeting
of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at
their offices, 2, New Broadineet ; Charles H. lOUis, Esq., in
the chair. The report stated the prospects of the company,
which had been interfered with first by the ravages of an
epidemic among the miners, and secondly by the Chilian
revolution, were now becoming brighter. The monthly
produce of copper was on the increase, and was likely to
continue so. The produce of silver, although not yet large,
was improved. A wish was expressed at the last meeting
that as the produce of silver ore appeared very uncertain,
the working of the copper lodes should be chiefly attended
to. In answer to that wish the local manager
stated that there bad been greater receipts from the
silver mines of Copiapo for the last seven years
than from those of any other description, and that the
riches of the Salvadora mine, a few fathoms distant from
the company's operations at Al fin Ilellada, bad been ins.
mean, and therefore he recommended the working of the
silver lodes for another year. This advice the directors
followed. The produce of the company's mines for the last
year were—bar silver, 726 lbs. 2 os. 10d w ts., valued at 2,0461.
Cs. 7d. ; silver ore, 10 ton 11 cwt., valued at 4841. 161. Id. ;
silver leavings, 34 tons 4 cwt., valued at 4361. 12s. 4d. ;
copper ore, 956 tons, valued at 12,10 W. Os. 10d.: total value
of produce, 15,0761. 15e. 10d. The Buenos Ayrean was
chartered to sail in August with a cargo likely to realise
10,000 L, consisting of 400 tons of copper, 15 tons of silver
ore worth 1001. per ton and 35 tons of leavings. Another
vessel will be chartered in December. The report was
adopted, some other routine business transacted, and a vote
of thanks given to the chairman.
STILLING AND DUNFEIGILINI RAILWAY.—The
half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Edinburgh
on Thursday; James Anstruther, Esq., chairman. The
report by the directors, which stated that the last portion of
the line, from Stirling to Alloa, had been completed and
opened on the Ist July last, and that traffic between the
two termini was rapidly increasing, was held as read. The
chairman having taken a view of the affairs of the com-
pany, moved the adoption of the report, which having been
seconded, was &greed to, and the meeting separated.
