We have received a copy of the prospectus of the
East Cambrian Gold Mining Company (Limited).
This is another of the new undertakings formed to
work the Welsh gold fields, stimulated by the success
of theVigra and Clogau Company. The property to be
worked is situated three miles north-west of Dol-
gelly. It is bounded on the south by the Prince of
Wales Mine, and on the west by the Cambrian, and
it is mentioned that several of the lodes of both
these mines run through it. In addition to lodes
of rich silver lead, copper, blends and sulphur, all
containing gold, there is a gold lode described as at
places 30 feet wide. The existence of gold in every
lode is stated to have been proved by the assay of
samples collected promiscuously by a deputation
appointed by the board, which has personally in-
spected the property. The purchase money is
15,0001., viz, 5,0001. in cash, and 10,0001. in
shares, which are not to be handed over to the
vendors until six months after allotment. The pro-
posed capital is 50,0001. in 11. shares. The direc-
tion is respectable.
At the special meeting yesterday of the lierbwida
Coal and Iron Company, the resolutions passed at
the meeting on the 17th ult., for increasing the
capital, were confirmed.
At the Dun Mountain Copper Mining Company's
special meeting, also held yesterday, it was unani-
mously resolved to increase the capital to any
amount not exceeding 10,0001. A large portion of
this sum was subscribed at the meeting.

A CORSICAN SOLDIER CONDEMNED FOR MFRDER.
—The military tribunal of Chalons has just tried a young
soldier of the 52nd Regiment, named Pietri, a native of
Corsica, on a charge of having murdered, on the ..:;rd Nov.,
a young man named Kaneda, the son of a farmer residing
at Saint-Memmie, near Chalons. It appeared from the
evidence, which agreed with the account. given at the time
the milder took place, that M. Rennin and his son
were returning home from one of their fields, with a
load of green fodder, on the top of which they were
seated, when they came up with two young men, one of
whom was a grocer at Chalons, in shooting attire, with a
fowling piece, who lay on the ground dead drank, and the
other the prisoner, who was somewhat less intoxicated. The
latter asked M. Rennin to allow his companion to ride to
Chalons on the fodder. The farmer refuted on the ground
that it would be dangerous to place a man is such a
condition on the top of a load among the scythes and
forks lying there. This refusal so incensed the prisoner
that be seized his companion's double-barrelled gun,
ran after the cart, and, aiming at young Raussio,
killed him dead on the spot. He then discharged the other
barrel at the father, bat missed him ; the shot, however,
struck a rake banging at the hack of the load. All these
facts were proved by the evidence of M. Rattails, and many
other witnesses deposed as to tie drunken state of the
soldier and his companion, especially the servants of a farm-
houto where they had drunk four bottles of wine. The pri-
soner. when asked what he bad to say in his defence, stated
that he had gone out with Regnaud for a day's shooting.
Towards evening they went to a farmhouse to ..i.amo re.
freshnient, where they got intoxicated, and he had not the
slightest recollection of anything that occurred front the
time they left the house till after his arrest. He concluded
with expressing the remorse he felt for the dreadful results
of hie drunkenness. The prisoner's counsel declared that
his client was in reality a madman when be committed the
crime, and implored for him the benefit of extenuating
circumstatmes ; but the tribunal, deeming intoxication no
excuse. unanimously declared the charge of murder fully
proved, and eontdemned the prisoner to death.
