Mining Shares are very quiet. The shares of the South
Australian Copper Mining Company are about to be allotted,
and a vary satisfactory report by the agent at Adelaide, Mr.
James Trewartha, late mineral surveyor to the Colonial
Government, together with various important tech-
nical details by Mr. Pascoe, has been fur-
nished to the directors. Mr. Trewartha remarks :—..

"I beg leave to inform you of my return from Strathalbyn ;
I have the honour to submit my report upon your property
in that locality, viz., eight sections, containing 636 acres,
thickly wooded, and the greater portion well adapted for
agricultural purposes. On several parts of these sections,
mining operations have already been commenced, both at
and below the surface. One lode, known as Mary's Shaft, is
sunk 28 fathoms. This lode is Ind running through five
of the above sections; at the eighteen fathoms level in this
shaft,! a plat is cut on each side, and several fathoms driven
north and south through ore ground, the lode thereon from
five to six feet wide, the probable average produce is from 12
to 15 per cent. There have also been several tons of ore sloped
from the back of the level. In order to ascertain the nature
of this lode at a greater depth, means have been adopted for
sinking the shaft to the present depth of 28 fathoms, and the
lode still found to be increasing in size and proving richer
in quality ar this depth, being from ten to twelve feet wide.
The description of ore in this mine is chiefly black and
yellow sulphuret of copper, mixed with sulphuret of iron'
and occasionally native copper has been found. I have
every reason to expect that at a :greater depth the whole
lode will be the yellow sulphuret of copper, sod
should it continue to improve in richness, as it Os
hitherto done, I consider that the ore at anotlie:
equal depth will probably be from 25 to 30 per cent'
I would further beg leave to state that an excellent and
substantial smelting furnace being already erected at a cost
of about 1,0001., together with the facility afforded in pro-
curing fuel, I have no hesitation in saying that there i) no
part of the colony where smelting could be carried ca to
such advantage, and which would be highly desirable
so as to bring even the poorer description of ore
to advantage. There is already at surface from 200
to 250 tons of ore almost ready for molting.
The Strathalbyn Copper Mines, consisting of eight sections
of land, are situated about 30 miles from Adelaide, in a me-
talliferous stratification of country—viz., a micaceoos Lela)?
slate mixed with carbonate of lime, in a soluble state,auma
the lodes, and is very near a large course of sea grit
rock, a character of country so situated as to corre-
spond to the situations where the most productive
copper mines are found throughout the world.
West of North
On this property some eight or ten lodes have been dis-
covered, whose courses are about 15 degrees
and East of South, and which incline East from the perpen-
dicular about 214, per fathom, and vary from one to ten feet
in width, comprised of steatite grey fluccan and oxide of
iron or gossan, in which are found the yellow, back, and
grey sulphurets of copper ores and iron pyrites."

TAXES ON KNOWLEGDE.
Mr. REYNOLDS said the Hon. Member for Man-
chester (Mr. M. Gibson) bad a notice OR the paper for
Tuesday, the 6th of April, with reference to the repeal
of the•duty on paper and on knowledge, and be wished
to know whether he would have any objection to post-
pone it Until after Easter ? The reason he asked the
question was that himself and several other Irish
Members who took an interest in the question would not
be present on that occasion, and they would take it as *
favour if he would adjourn his motion.
Mr. M. GIBSON said he should be very unwise to
loose the support of his Hon. Friend and other Irish
Members, who must be unavoidably absent on Tuesday
next. He would, therefore, assent to the postponement
of his motion until after Easter, but he would take the
first opportunity of balloting for an early day after Easter.

HOME-MADE SPIRITS.
Ur. REYNOLDS gave notice that to-morrow he
would ask the Noble Lord the Chief Secretary for Ire-
land whether it was his intention in the present session
to ask permission to introduce a Bill to place the manu-
facturers of home-made spirits on an equal footing with
the importers of foreign and colonial spirits.—(flear.)
TENANT-RIGHT (IRELAND) BILL,
Mr. REYNOLDS presented a great number of peti-
tions from various parts of Ireland in favour of tenant-
right in that country. He then moved the second reading
of the Bill,
and said that in doing so he felt a deep and
Weighty responsibility rested upon him, for he was not
bringing forward a puppet of his own, nor standing there
as the organ of any sect or party, but as the messenger
of a nation. He asked their assent to the principle of
the Bill because it bad received the sanction of the
nation. The number of petitions presented from various
parts of Ireland in favour of the measure justified him
in makieg, that assertion. He was in the remarkable
position of not having a single petition presented against
the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Such a circumstance was
nearly unparalleled on a question of each vital import-
ance to a country. The preamble of the Bill recited
that it was the practice in Ireland to let lands to
tenants without the necessary buildings, and that
in the event of their quitting, they could not obtain any
allowsece for the improvements they might have effected
on the
land. This was proved to be the case by all the
evidence adduced to the House on the subject of tenant
right is Ireland.
