THE GREAT BURSA BURSA MINE.—The annual
meeting of the shareholders of the Barra Barra Mine was
held on Wedneeday, the 20th April, to receive the report of
the directors, and Gil up vacancies in the board. The report
" will bear favoarable comps:ism with most of its prede-
cessors." Not only does the yield of the mine onetime un-
diminished, it el, n apposes to be increasing, the quantity
of cm raised daring the last six months having been 7,423
tons, or 1,119 tons more than the quantity raised In any
similar period for the last seven yearm The quality has
been equal to the usual average, being from 23 to 24 per
omit of copper. Daring the last half-yew the directors have
!Bold 804 tons of copper to the colony at en average of
981. Ts. per ton, and they have also exported to Britain and
India for sale 640 tons mote. In explanation of the llama-
eial statements .ppended to the report, the directors show
the cost of producing 6,304 tone 01 ore reallaed to have been
101. lie. per ton. This ore sold at 13/. 18e. 84. per ton,
leaving a profit of 3/. 7e. lid. per ton, or 6s. lid. per ton more
than the profit realised on theme sold in the preceding six
month.. The ascertained undivided modal of the company
oa the 31st March lam' amounted to 61,4361. 12e. 11d., and
the estimated prate of produce undisposed of amount to
42,4941. be. 10d., milking together a total balance of profit
for division of 93,9301. 18e. 9d. The directors propose setting
nett 24,8404 of the ascertained profits of the company for
the payment of two dividends of 61. pet share each on the let
Jane and 3rd September. The captain's report of the mine
is most aocouraging, and loads to the hope that very large
quantliles of ore ground will be opened in the lower levels,
when the new pumping-engine, sow in course of erection is
got to work. And even the most penguins hopes—expressed
by the directors in their last report with respect to the
estimeted "profit expectant" on the operations of the year
ended on the 30th September last—hove been exceeded by the
actual fact. They looked for 38,0008.. and they have got at
the rate of 43,0001.-4 mesh= Mail.
VIM/lA-BRIDGE, MONTREAL.—I 4 is Stated on
the beet sathority that the Victoria-badp
_ls so far advanced
that it may safely be wanted upon ea Whig certain to be
open for Mae by the Ist Novembet next. Fears wore at
one time expressed , we observe, that the progress of the
worke might be impeded by the high water in the Bt. Law-
rence, and that the opening of the bridge would be delayed
till next year. The reornt progress of the work, however,
Ma been such as to harsh all feats of this kind, and, hu-
manly speaking, It may be regarded's aureate that the bridge
will he in a position to be opened by the let of November
next. The works on the two extreme motions d the Grand
1 Trunk road are Mewing with great rapidity, The meter&
modem including the totemic% freer Port Sarnia to Detroit,
as well es the tendon below St. Thome, will be in a position
to be opened for traffic by the Ist September. The floating
bridge meow the river at Sarnia will also be completed by
that date. Thus, with the exception of the Vietotis-tiridge,
the whole road will be thoroughly completed in leas than two
months.—Cmadiee News. _ _

COMMISSION OF INQUIRY INTO FORBES MAC-
ignites Acr.—The first mafioso of the Royal Commission
of Inquiry into the working of the Public.ht.unes Act, and
the non& licensing system, was hold on Monday in
Georgametreet Hail. The Commiseioners began their inquiry
by azarninitig several hotel keepers and spirit dealers car-
rying on business in the city. As • matter of coarse, all
times parties ezpremed themselves mare or less opposed to
the rertrict'oas imposed upon the " trade" by the Forbes
Mackenzie act, although in this respect considerable differ-
ence of opinion seems to exist. One hotel keeper would be
saddled wen the restriction with reference to cluing licensed
premises at night extended irons eleven to twelve o'clock;
another Rosa a step further. and does not thick that soy hour
earlier than one o'clock would meet the public necomithe ;
while a third andirons the whole system of restriction as
"unconstitutional and impracticable." With refer:Doe to
the lionashig system, all the wiitiones concurred in contlema-
log that at present in operation in Scotland—the plan Lost'
in favour being apparently • licensing court, composed of a
stipendiary melange or sheriff substitute and a jum with
an t ppoal to the prlatipal ahentl—Bdesbereh Dasig Express.
