We have already referred to the refusal of many
of the London :money changers to deal in Austrian
paper, consequent upon the re-enactment of Jewish
disabilities in that empire. The subjoined letter has
been sent to us :
TO THE ZDITOII OF THE SEERESS.
Stet,—We have been large holders of Austrian stock,
and to do our best to keep up the credit of that country, we
have at the most critical times cubed the coupons which
have become due on the 5 per cent. stock.
In repayment from the Austrian government we re-
ceived nothing but bank notes, available only in the
Austrian dominions.
The advertisement announcing our readiness to pay the cou.
pens generally appeared in the Daile News, about eight or ten
days before they became due, and we bad the pleasure to
see our names mentioned in the Austrian journe Is, as show-
ing the " great confidence the merchants of England must
have in the Austrian government, by paying cash for their
5 per cent. coupons." Under the present circumstances we
shall feel obliged by your informing oar friends that we
do not cash any more coupons of the Austrian stock ; and
we trust that the newspapers in Austria, who so kindly
m-ntioned us formerly, will also insert the above announce-
ment. We are, air, your obedient servants,
A. SCHWAHZECHILD & Co.

The subjoined has reference to the Peel River
Land and Mineral Company and the Australian Agri-
cultural Company :
The Peel River Land and Mineral Company have received
intelligence by the Argo to 4th of August. The general su-
perintendent, Captain Drownrigg, reports he had personally
inspected the auriferous lands, and confirms the gold de-
posits previously reported upon by Mr. Rudder, also the
discovery of other area on the property, including copper,
lead, manganese, and antimony. Captain Drownrigg urges
the importance of an inspection of the whole of the lands,
and that a scientific report should be made upon them. It
L satisfactory to state that the company have anticipated
the suggestions of their superintendent. Mr. Odernheimer,
the experienced German geologist and mineralogist, accom-
panied by his assistant, Mr. Herborn, having been sent out
in the Vimeira in August last, to undertake a general sur-
vey of the whole of the lends of the Peel River Land and
Mineral Company, as well as of those belonging to the Aus-
' trelian Agricultural Company.
Tho Australian Agricultural Company have like-
wise received despatches by the Argo up to the 4th
August last of a very favourable character. The
sales of coals continued at very remunerative prices,
to the furl extent of the get, with many vessels
waiting for cargoes. The following is an extract
from the colliery report:
It is with no ordinary satisfaction that I have now to in-
form the court of the success which has already attended
the exertions I reused to be made throughout the last few
months to urge forward the sinking of the new shaft to the
E pit. A letter from the acting assistant superintendent
of the colliery, dated the 7th inst., just received, reports as
follows :—" I have much pleasure in informing you that
coal was reached in the E pit late yesterday et a depth of
119 feet (rem the top, the sinkers having dug three feet
into it. A large lamp of coal sent to me as a sample I put
in the fire, and it burnt well, and appears to be of an ex-
cellent quality. As the railway to connect the new pit
with the old line is nearly completed, I would hope in the
course of this month to be able to raise and ship coal from
the E pit by means of the gin, until the engine is gaits
ready to act. If I can succeed in getting and keeping the
three pits in full work, the loading of ships will be greatly
expedited."
The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent.
per annum yielded by our government stocks at
present prices. To render the results strictly accurate,
the proportion of interest which may have accrued
since last dividend period should in each casebe taken
into account.
