THE WIDOW OF THE LATE CHARLES

• COLLARD.

Yesterday evening a meeting of the committee ap-
pointed to receive subscriptions for the widow and chil-
dren of the unfortunate Collard was held at the Soup
Kitchen, in Bath-place, New-road, the Rev. Mr. Yates
Rooker in the chair.

After some preliminary business had been disposed of,
the Chairman called attention to the subject for the con-
sideration of which the present meeting of the committee
had been principally convened—namely, the most ad-
visable mode of investing the subscriptions for the benefit
of the widow and children. After a good deal of conver-
sation, it was deemed right that, under all the circum-
stances, the decision of the committee upon that point
should be further postponed, and that, in the meantime,
the sub-committee should be requested to inquire whe-
ther the purchase of an annuity for the widow, to be con-
tinued to the children after her death, or the investment
of the subscriptions in the public or other securities, the
interest to be paid to the widow, and the principal to be
secured for the benefit of the children who might survive
her, would be most advantageous and desirable.
In the course of the proceedings a letter was read, of
which the following is a copy, from Henry Fitzroy, Esq.,
M.P., Under Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment, addressed to Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., M.P. :

-"
Whitehall, Dcc. 3C), 1854.
"Sir,—l am directed by Viscount Palmerston to ao-
knowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22d inst., and
to inform you that the memorials which you transmitted
to his Lordship—one from the committee appointed to re-
ceive subscriptions in favour of the widow of the late
Charles Collard, the other from the jury who formed the
inquest on the body of Mr. Moore—have been forwarded
for the consideration of the Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury.
" I have the honour to be,
" Your obedient servant,
(Signed) HENRY FITZROY."
The additional subscriptions which were paid in having
been handed over to the treasurer (A. 111'Callan, Esq.),
thanks were given to the rev. chairman for his conduct
in the chair, and the meeting was adjourned, _

DEARTH OF FOOD IN TURKEY.

The following communication relates to the dearth of
food which has lately been found to prevail in some
parts of Turkey, and 'which must be attributed to the
imperfect means of transit throughout that country :
" Sir,—l annex an extract of a communication from
Adrianople of the 21st ult., which at the present time
may not be without interest. By it you will perceive
that in the very heart of European Turkey, usually a
district teemirt . with almost prodigal abundance, an
absolute dearth of grain present and prospective is the
order of the day. .

" In September the prices of grain were moderate,
and we could have obtained good wheat at about 405.,
barley 265., maize 275. per quarter, free on board at
Enos, but since that period our market has continually
advanced, and at present good wheat would cost over
70s. per quarter ; and our Governor, Rustem Pasha,
says, that if the grain continues to leave at the present
ratio, we run a risk of finding ourselves completely de-
prived of it in the spring.
" To give an idea of our wants, we are compelled to
pay for our flour a price equal to 4d. per pound.
" Barley is selling at about 325. per quarter, and
scarce. We have in this neighbourhood 4,000 French
Cuirasseurs, apparently bent on wintering here, which
causes a great consumption of barley and forage.'
"I remain, &c.,

TEE AUSTRALIAN LAND AND MINING
COUPANIES.

Subjoined are the statements of the advices
brought by the Argo to the various Australian land
and mining companies :

" PEEL RIVER.

"The directors have received advices from their gene.
ral superintendent up to the 26th of December. The
land, which had been leased to the 'Cordillera Company,
and upon which 1,4570 z. of gold had been raised during
ten months, was delivered over to the Peel River Com-
pany's general superintendent on the 19th of December
last. The sheep-shearing having been finished, the wool
was in course of shipment. The clip from 52,000 sheep
was contained in 306 bales--gross weight of wool,
992 cwt.
London, England, 1855-03-22

" ENGLISH ♦ND AUSTRALIAN COPPER.

" The directors have received by the Argo advices
from their manager at Adelaide up to the 2d of January,
with the following information :
" Smelting Works.-89& tons of copper have been de-
livered to the Burra Burra Company in December, being
the quantity doe to them for ores delivered to the end of
October, 1854. Four furnaces were still at work, but the
want of smelters was very much felt, as they were not to
be procured in the colony. A new feature in these works
is that the Sydney coal has been found tl answer every
purpose of smelting the ore, and although a larger
quantity was used than of English coal this is attributed
to its not being so clean ; but this it was thought could
be easily remedied, and would be a matter of much im-
portance, as the Sydney coal could be placed at Port
Wakefield at much less expense than coal shipped from
England.
"Mules.—These were working well in harness, and,
with the additional supply expected by the Malacca, it
was anticipated that they would, during the carting sea-
son, convey 2,700 tons of ore to the port, and return with a
like quantity of coal, and thus enable the manager to dis-
pose of 5, 400 toes of oreyearly. With 1000 mules, however,
the manager is persuaded the works might be carried on
during the whole year, or very nearly so. After mature
consideration he is of opinion that, with 1,000 mules,
Sydney coal, and labour cheap, as it assuredly will soon
be, the affairs of this company may again ere long be
placed on a satisfactory footing. The 15 furnaces, at a
very modest calculation, will smelt 15,000 tons of in
the year.
"The Burra mine is about to be worked in the deep
levels ; the monster engine will commence in a few days
forking the water, and it is expected that in a month or
two, perhaps, the mine will be again delivering rich ores.
According t.) Mr. Williams, there must be more ore in
the mine than can Le brought to grass in the next five
years. There are now 320 men at work, and the num-
ber is daily increasing, for labour is becoming rapidly
more plentiful. Here is another cause of congratula-
tion, the certainty I may say, of abundance of ore to
work upon.
" Report.—As it is impossible to take stock and con-
tinue smelting operations, and it would lee an act of
madness to put the furnaces out, I shall send a provi-

period of the year; there are no objections of this kind
or any other to the month of June.

The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders on the
termination of the trial before the High Court of Jus-

with culpable neglect of duty, were honourably ac-
quitted, and the presiding judge had declared that the
directors of the company had done everything in their
power for the safety of those travelling on tae line. Ho

A discussion ensued, in which the " mismanagement"
of the directors was freely animadverted on, and various
proposals and suggestions were made for the improve-
ment of the company's affairs.
Mr. CHAYTOR, one of the directors, moved as an
amendment that out cf the surplus of 6,0001. a dividend
of is. per share be made to the ordinary shareholders.
A lengthened discussion took place, and on a show of
hands being taken, the large majority were held up for
the motion of the Chairman.

tion.

THE BALTIC.

• A letter from Riga, of the 14th, states that the
greatest activity continues to prevail there, a great
number of men being employed in raising new fort
titications both on the land and sea sides, as it .is
feared, from that place being, the key of the pro-
-viuces of Courland and Livonia, it may be the first
point of attack by the allied fleets in their next.
Baltic campaign. The entrenched camp, which
existed last year, is to be enlarged, to enable,-.in
case of need, two divisions of troops to be establiied
there. Several vessels and enormous blocks of stone
will be sunk at the mouth of the Gulf, so that ships
.of war, however light their draught of water, will
find it very difficult and dangerous to effect the
passage of the Dannemunde in order to arrive op-
posite the town, which is at the bottom of a sawn
bay, and where batteries have been established 'in
a semicircle to command every point in frorU. The
same letter announces the arrival on the coasts: of
the Gulf of Finland of four regiments of Baskin,
intended principally to act as. videttes in time, of
war. • A body of from 8,000 to 10,000 light cavalry
is expected. Tile organisation of the army of the
Baltic; under the command of General do Siew(lrs,
.advances rapidly. A part of this body, which was
first fixed at 100,000 men, but which will now-: be
carried up to 140,000 men, has already arrived, at
their place of destination.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.

PLYMOUTH, WEDNEI MAY.
This morning at 10 o'clock Mr. Field, tide surveyor
of her Majesty's Customs, left Milbay Pier in his gig,
manned by Thomas Brockington and William Coglan,
commission boatmen. The wind was blowing hard from
west-south-west, and the tide on the turn, it having
ebbed an hour.
They were in pursuit' of a French brig going up
Hamoaze, and shortly after hoisting their sail a small
storm lug, which was reefed,
sudden squall, which appeared to alarm Coglan so much they were overtaken by a
that he omitted to let go the halyards when ordered.
The beat in consequence I,roached to, and, meeting the
ebb, filled to leeward immediately. The men were
washed over, but some regained the boat three times,
Mr. Field providentially secured a cushion stuffed
awnitdhocork,,(Weblyn) and Bentley floated on his back on two oars.
Phipps, the skipper of the Medina yacht, belonging to
the Turkish consul, lying at Millbay, went boldly away
single-handed in his boat, rescued Weblyn, and conveyed
Coglan to the beach and Longroom Barracks, where
some artillerymen received him on their shoulders, and
took him to a neighbouring house, but he was so much
exhausted that he expired.
A boat from the revenue cutter Eagle saved Mr. Field
and Bentley.
The body of Broekington has not yet been found.

Cho esswitlat object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
lacocca resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
:hich have pronueed more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
,ood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
;::her class of disease known to modern pathologists. Ita perusal is
'artlenlarly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
tie health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
e,,titled.

It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
Jcinciples of personal management which cannot be violated without
scarring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
,e heyday of imonsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
ct how the evil and its con,equences may be avoided, and above all,
t not there is namely any decree of physical infirmity or functional
inangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
lee Author has for a series of years been engagei. in an extensive
oractice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are Induced to place
faith in their pretensions. _ _

The Emperor's departure is once me r) on the
&pis, and though it has become a most trite subjoct,
so much so as to have in great measure diminished
the interest first attached to it, I cannot but notice
the fact of its being again revived and discussed with
the same heat as ever. The 6th of April—the Ist
would be too remarkable—is now suppoSed to be
the date. Be this as it may, the movement of
troops continues actively, and the battalions.of tae
Guard, reviewed yesterday (and which were more
numerous than I supposed, t eing nearer 32,500
than 8,000), begin to march on Saturday next, en
route for Mai Bellies, and thence to the East.
We have received the Moniteur of yesterday. It
publishes the following :
" CORFU, MAMA 10.

" The English steam transport Imperador has
been sent sent from Malta to fetch 120 of the best
Artillerymen of the garrison. The steamer ar-
rived on the 4th, and left the same day for Bala-
klava. In addition to the men taken at Corfu,
she had on board 260 Artillerymen from the Malta

" ENGLISEI AND AIISTRA.LIAN COPPER.

"The directors have received by the Argo advices
from their manager at Adelaide up to the 2d of January,
with the following information :
" Smelting Work'.-39g tons of copper have been de-
lieered to the Burnt Burra Company in December, being
the quantity due to them for ores de'ivfred to the end of.
0 itober, 1354. Four furnaces were still at work, but the
want of smelters was very much felt, as they were not to
be procured in the colony. A new feature in these works
is that the Sydney coal has been found to answer every
purpose of smelting the ore, and although a larger
quantity was used than of English coal this is attributed
to its not being so clean ; but this it was thought could
be easily remedied, and would be a matter of much im-
portance, as the Sydney coal could be placed at Port
Wakefield at much lest expense than coal shipped from
England.
" illules.—These were working well in harness, and,
With the additional supply expected by the Malacca, it
was anticipated that they would, during the carting sea-
S3ll, convey 2,700 tons of ore to the port, and return with a
like quantity of coax, and thus enable the manager to dis-
pose of 5,400 tons of ercyearly. With 1000 mules, however,
the manager is persuaded the worics might be carried on
during the whole year, or very nearly so. After mature
consideration he is of opinion that, with, 1,000 mules,
Sydney coal, and labour cheap, as it assuredly will soon
he, the affairs of this company lime again era long be
paced on a satisfactory footing. The 15 furnaces, at a
very modest calculation, will smelt 15,000 tons of ore in
the }ear. . . _

"The Rar:a mine is about to be worked in the deep
levels ; the monster engine will commence in a few days
forking the water, and it is expect:d that in a month or
two, perhaps, the mine will be again delivering rich ores.
Accurling t Mr. WlFiams, there must be more ore in
the mine than can Le brought to grass in the next fire
years. There are now 320 men at work, and the num-
ber is daily increasing, for labour is becoming rapidly
more plentiful. Here is another cause of con;ratula-
tion, the ceitaMty I may say, of abundance of ore to
wuec upon.
" Itopoit —As it is impossible is take stock and con-
tinue smelting operations, and it would be an act of
madnesi to put the furnaces out, I shall' send a provi-
sional report, until it is in my poser to place before you
a more rt,,sgularittitament. -The present is the most busy
period of the year ; there are no objections of this kind
or any other to the month of June.
