This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and
working two valuable freehold mineral properties, known as the
Wheal Fortune and Wheal Virgin Mines, situated 30 miles from
the shipping port of Gersidtms, In the Champion Bay district of
Western Australia,
The property comprised MO acme of freehold land with the
minerals, and was obtained direct from the crown In the
year 1830, by local adventurers, who subscribed a limited
capital, which was expended in the perchsee of the land and the
necessary mining plant, leaving a balance of only £3OO to cona•
menee operations. Three shafts are already sunk to the respec-
tive depths of 8, 11, and 1.6 fathoms, and several distinct copper
Inks and lead-bearing crosecourses discovered. From one or
two of the former Pie tons of copper ore have been raised and
transmitted to this country, and sold at Swansea, by public
ticketlocs, between February 14, MOO, end June 10, 1500, the
per ceutago of which for pure copper averaged 14, and realised
tie sun, of a 118.600 13s. 9d., as Is evidenced by the following
transcript of the ticket males thereof. In adMtion to which,
about 100 tons of rich lead ore have been obtained from a cross-
cowrie. and sold for £507. A further parcel of 100 tons of copper
ore Is advised at the port, ready for shipment. Altogether the
clear profit daring she two years cos £3,400, on the Initial work-
leg capital of LIDO, aided. of the purchate as aforesaid. The
operations at the nine an continued, and the yield of ore in-
MS. IS the works program so that proportionate reoeipta may

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 1L

Tait news which the mail steamer Etna has
brought from America is the most interesting and
important of any which has reached us for a con-
siderable time. The two principal armies in the
field have been in close and protracted conflict ;
the defence of Richmond has been turned into
an attack ; and the Fedora,* after a period of uni-
form and great success, have suffered a serious
reverse. So much, we think, is clear from
intelligence, which leaves much to be desired in
respect of completeness. As it is not to be sup-
posed that the Northerners exaggerate their own
disasters, we are compelled to suppose that
General M'Ci.zLw has been obliged to
retreat after • severe battle. It will be
remembered that the mass of the Federal army
had crossed the Chickahominy, which flows round
the north and east of the city of Richmond, and
had advanced within a few miles of the capital.
The extent of country occupied by the Federal
army was considerable, and although the numbers
of that army are uncertain, still it may
be seriously doubted whether it was suf-
ficiently concentrated. Certain it is that
M'CLELLAN has never ceased to proclaim that he
was outnumbered, and has continually demanded
reinforcements. Only a very short time has
elapsed since he has been joined by the corps of
Id'Downa.. On the other hand, it appears that
the Confederates have of late been strongly rein-
forced. Their determination seems to have been
to sacrifice everything in order to bold Richmond.
It has been said that BLAIIMOARD had joined the
army in Virginia ; nor is it improbable that many
of the troops who were under that General at
Corinth have been brought eastward to defend the
lines at Richmond.

The position occupied by the Confederates
plainly pointed out their plan of operations. They
were in an entrenched camp and occupied the
centre, whilst the army of attack occupied part
of the circumference of the circle. The Confe-
derates, therefore, had the power of falling with
overwhelming force upon any portion of the force
opposed to them—and this was in fact the tactic
pursued. It seems that on the 26th or 27th of
June STONEWALL JACINON, who had lately showed
such energy in the valley of the Shenandoah,
attacked the right wing of M'CLau...tw, which was
placed so as to cover the railway which runs be-

THE

tween Richmond and West Pink on the York
River. It is said that the fight*
lasted two days. But the 'Northern fight*
counts admit that after a severe struggle
the right wing of the Fedoras was compelled
to retire behind the left wing. The Federal
army, in fact, has now abandoned its communica-
tions with West Point and the York River, and
has retired across the Chickahominy south-east-
ward toward the James River. The reasons for
adopting this course are obvious. Had the Fede-
ralists retired eastward by the railway they would
have had both their flanks exposed ; but now
they have not only the broader part of the
Chickahominy between them and the enemy, but
one of their flanks will be protected by the James
River and the gunboats. The whole country north
of Richmond, as far as Fredericksburg, must be
in the hands of the Confederates, and the Pa-
munkey must be restored to the forces of the Con-
federates. Nor is it clear that the victorious army
of the South will rest satisfied with the defeat
which they have inflicted. On the contrary, it is
their duty to renew the attack as soon as possible,
and• to press upon the retiring troops of
M'Cr.slarrt with the utmost vigour. It does
not appear whether the Federal. have prepared
any position to which they can retreat, but it is
obvious that unless they can make a stand they
may be very seriously harassed by the Confederates,
and especially by their powerful cavalry. The
swampy banks of the Chickahominy would, no
doubt, cause much sickness, and if, in addition to
this, allowance be made for the fact the., there is
no railway to aid the Federalists in the line of
retreat which they have chosen, it is not to be
denied that their friends have much ground for
anxiety. At the same timo it is to be remem-
bered that with the James River completely in
their power they have a means of rapid reinforce•
ment to an indefinite extent.

We cannot profess to be greatly surprised at
this disaster. We have for some time looked in
vain for any Federal preparations in Virginia oor-
responding to the change of the general military
situation which has been taking place for the last
three or four months. The dispersion of a large
portion of the Federal army in expeditions and
garrisons, simultaneous with the concentration of

the Confederate army through the abandonment
of a large number of its positions, con-
stituted a new relation between the two col-
lective forces, the importance of which, it seems
to us, has not been appreciated at Waiffiington.
It ought to have been dearly perceived that every
Federal snows& in the outlying portions of the
scene of war would tend to increase the difficulties
of General WCtsz.nair, who should have been
reinforced accordingly. This was not done, and
a reverse is the natural consequence.

Serious as this reverse of the Federal" un-
doubtedly is, it would be a.great mistake to see in
it any decisive character. The people of the North
will be surprised, and possibly for the moment
alarmed, at the defeat of the most numerous of
their armies. But we do not expect that they will
lose in a moment that proud consciousness of

immensely superior strength which they have
acquired by experience, and which they see re-
flected in the opinion of the world. They will more
probably ascribe their disasters to a misapplication
of the resources they have placed at the disposal of
the Government, and while increasing those re-
sources from their boundless store will take pre-
cautions for their better employment. Hitherto
checks have only provoked them to mightier
exertions ; and, without paradox, at the very
moment when their largest army has suffered •
reverse, the North knows itself stronger as the
South knows itself weaker than at any previous
stage of the war. While, therefore, we recognize
the importance of the Confederate success, we see
in it an event which is likely to draw out rather than
shorten the war; for whether we suppose the
North to be fighting to restore the Union to its
former territorial integrity, or simply, as some
advise, for • frontier, it is certain that its citizens
cannot afford to retire from the contest until they
have conclusively established their superiority.

AN invitation was last week addressed by 167
members of both aides of the House of Commons
to M. Rollins, the French Minister of Com-
merce, then on a visit to London, to a banquet
in honour of his eminent services to the cause of
Free Trade. On receipt of this invitation M.
ROCNER returned to Paris, and, with the full
approbation of the Emperor of the Fitarica, has
now formally accepted it. The entertainment
will take place at Willis's Rooms, on the 16th
instant, Mr. MHz= Gissozi, as President of the
Board of Trade, presiding. Places have been re•
served on this interesting occasion for the Presi-
dents of the various Chambers of Commerce of the
United Kingdom.
