Temporary offices of the Company, 17, Buckletsbury.
This Company has been formed for the purpose or carrying out
and promoting certain Important undertakings within the Rebublh
of New Granada, and has made arrangements for the purchase of
some most valuable and extensive mineral districts in the provinces
of Choco, Antioquia, and Barbacoas, containing gold, silver, plating,
cinabar, and other products.
The basis of the Company's operations is an agreement for the pur-
chase of a freehold property in the province of Choco, upwards of
seventy miles in length, and varying in width from twenty to sixty
miles, comprising au aroa of upwards of one and a half million of
acres, upon whic. great number of surface mines aro stated to
have been alre iscovered.
The completi' this purchase is made dependent upon the veri-
fication of the s laid before the Board, through the te.timony
of approved ay. to be sent out on behalf of the Company, the
vendor being • •d in the meantime to call for a payment of
5,0001., upon "ifactory security being lodged with the directors for
its repaymen , 'in'case such reports should not be verified. The ba•
lance of the purchase-money is to be paid in shares.
A treaty is also in progress for a grant of equal importance In the
province of Antioquia, full particulars of which are expected by the
next mail.

As soon as the report of the Company's agents shall have been
received, it will be for the consideration of the Directors what mines
shall be worked by this Company, and what porti.cns of the estate
shall be granted to other parties.
The territory of New Granada has long been known to abound in
the precious metals, and an accumulation of recent testimony shows
that it offers facilities for the conversion of its rich deposits superior
to those which Mast either in California or in Australia.

Santa Martha and Carthagena, the principal seaports, are within
twenty-ilte days' sail of England; and the Directors will thus be
enabled to reedyo. early and regular information; add to retain a
*per' control oar the management of the Company's affairs, the
*Vit of which is so severely felt in undertakings carried on in more
distant regions.

The gold deposits are stated to be much more regular and constant
than in other gold fields, being found principally in rich veins of
black sand and gravel.
The Atrato, Magdalena, and other large rivers run through the
whole tract of country in which the mines are situated, affording
the advanta,re of water carriage—the most important stations being
approachable by vessels of large burden.
The projected Ship Canal, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, through the territories of the Republic of New Granada,
will greatly enhance the value of the surrounding property, besides
securing the independence of that country by the combined support
of all the great maritime powers. A convention for this purpose
(commonly called the Bulwer treaty) was signed at Washington on
19th April, 1850, between Great Britain and the United States, and
has since been ratified in London.

A Concession has already been granted by the Government of
New Granada for the construction of this canal on advantageous
terms, and certain beneficial modifications are now under the consi-
deration of that Government.
A careful survey and estimate of the expense of constructing the
canal is in course of preparation, tinier the joint superintendence of
the concessionnaires and the directors of this Company.
To carry out a work so important to the interests cf the commer-
cial world, a new Company will be formed, and application will be
made on its behalf for a charter of incorporation. The Directors of
the New Granada Company, in consideration of the value of their
co-operation, have made arrangements with the concessionnaires of
the Canal for securing to their shareholders a moiety of all the ad-
vantages which may be derived from the concession, whether arising
from the sale of that- concession, or from an optional pro rata
participation by the individual shareholders of this Company in the
shares of the Company which shall undertake the construction of the
Canal.
The promoters of this undertaking have consented to receive in
full of all claims for their interest 6,000 paid-up shares, and one-
tenth of the net surplus profit Which may remain divisible in each
year, after paying a dividend of ten per cent. to the shareholders.
A working capital of 60,0001. is deemed sufficient for carrying on
a very remunerative business, but in proportion as success attends
the operations of the Company, and further working capital can be
profitably employed, the shareholders for the time being will have
the option of a pro rata allotment.
Applications for prospectuses and shares to be made to the Di-
rectors at the temporary offices of the Company, 17, Bucklersbury.

This Company having pure e fee-simple of eight sections,
containing 653 acres of min • d and freehold land, at Scrath-
albyn, about 30 miles from A ,c, in South Australia, and within
39 miles of the Murray River, v ormed for the working of the valu-
able copper mines which have been opened out and partially worked
there, but to render which extensively productive, more efficient ma-
chinery is required.
Ten lodes have been proved, varying from 4,6, to 10 feet thick, at
depths from 14 to 28 fathoms, and there is no reason to doust the
Strathalbyn district is a continuation of the same favourable ground
in which are the celebrated Burra Burnt and Kapunda Mines.
The mineral riches of the South Australian district have never
been surpassed in the history of mining enterprise, the Burra Burra
Mine alone having produced in five years 734,1081. worth of copper
•
ore.
The following is a copy of the report of Messrs. Johnson and Mat-
they :
" The sample of copper ore from the Strathalbyn Mines, assayed
for Messrs. Browne and Reed, contains 48 per cent. of pure copper.

From October, 1840, to December,llBso, sa'es ofore, &c., 447,7257.,

31st December, 1851, at the rate of 21. Bs. per share per annum, was
declared the 2d inst. The two months' sales and:profit to 20th Feb.,
1852, are on the same scale ; besides the dividends, there has been
paid out of the profits between 30,000/. and 40,000/. for engines,
plant, &c. (including a new 80-inch engine lately, at a cost of about
4.0000, the balance of undivided profits carried to the next account
is 2,0527. There are large reserves of ore, and the mine never
looked better. The last five years' profit was 76,0327., or on the
average 15,3867. per annum, or 2/. Bs. per share. The dividends are
payable three times a year, and may be received in London. The
next will be due in July. Only one share (1-128) has been sold
since November, 1840, and no share would now be offered but that
the decease of a proprietor requires the discharge of mortgage ill-
cumbrances on real .property ; a part of his interest is, in conse-
quence, to le disposed of, but the executor will Ftill retain a very
large majority. A limited number of shares is therefore offered at a
price to pay the purchaser, on the average of the last five years,
about 18 per cent. per annum.
Applications to be made to Mr. George Thomas,
at Winchester-
house, Old Broad-street, where the last report can be seen, and from
whom parties desiring to invest can obtain orders for the inspection
of the Mine by their owu agents.

LIGHTI-PRIZE MEDAL FOR LAMPS
Which are the best? No ono can doubt, since a Prize was
awarded at the Great Exhibition to Clark's Lamps. They can be
had at all prices. Clark's Diamond Lamps are the best in the world
for general use. Clark's Vertical Lamp excels and entirely super-
sedes the French Moderator Lamps. Clark's Pearl Candle Lamp
surpasses all other Candle Lamps. All are invited to this unrivalled
display. The lamps generally sold are extremely imperfect, and
thereby a great public wrong exists. What is more gloomy than a
bad light, and what more joyous than a good one ? ro ensure the
only good Lamps, the public must purchase Clark's Lamps, and
have none other. The unrivalled assortment is always on show at

MONUMENT to JAMES MORISON, the
lIYGEIST,

TO TIIR EDITOR.

Sir,—When Mr. Morison proclaimed that health depends upon the
Purity of the blood, and that alone, he as it were emancipated the
world from medical thrallom,and rendered the whole arcana of health
and disease clear to the meanest capacity. From this one simple
axiom has followed all the light which the new reformers in me-
dicine have derived. In this really consisted the great merit of the
Hygeist. Most extensive experience, however, has proved that the
medicine which he used (commonly known as Morison's Pills) was
capable of purifying the blood ; in other words, of removing all ob-
struction to a perfect circulation, the result of which is restoration to
health.

EALTII DEPENDS UPON THE PURITY OF THE BLOOD

Sir,—Upon this point everything turns, If health dos depend on
the purity of the blood, there can be no doubt that the human body
should, like a tree, be treated as a whole, and not piecemeal, like a
riece of patchwork : therefore James Morison, the Hygeist, consi-
dered as the originator of this great principle is, I think, entitled to
the monument which is ix contemplation.
I remain, Slr, yours,

A HYGEIST.

THE ARMY.
TUE MIME RIFLE.

WooLwicu 111,tasuw, MARCH 10.—The practice
yesterday with this new arm was carried on from a
rifle rest at 600 yards fur some time, end afterwards
the whole of the non-commissioned officers advanced
to within 250 yards of the target and commenced
firing as if they had been a skirmishing party and
continued firing until they had retired 800 yards
from the target. The number of rounds fired during
the day was three from the rest by each non commis •
sinned officer, and ten by each when firing as a re-
tiring party, and the practice was excellent, a great
number of the balls entering the target even at the
long range of 800 yarde. The non-commissioned
officers assembled again iu the marshes to-day, and
the practice was carried on by file firing, first, at 200
yards range ; second,at 400 yards ; third at 600 yards,
and last at 800 yards, each non-commissioned officer
firing five rounds at each of the above ranges, or
twenty rounds by each man to day. Several
distinguished officers having expressed their
intention of being present to witness the
practice with the Minis rifle to-day, two 12•
pounder howitzers from each of the three troops of
Royal Horse Artillery, under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Bell, and a 9-pounder field battery,
consisting of three 9-pounder guns and one 24
pounder howitzer, arrived in the marshes at one
o'clock, P.M., under the command of Colonel Ander-
son. The distinguished officers expected from town
did not arrive, but there were present—Lieutenant-
General Sir T. Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., commandant
of the garrison; Lieutenant-General Sir Hew D.
Ross, K.C.8., Deputy Adjutant-General of Artillery ;
Colonel Blanshard, C. 8., commandant of the Royal
Engineers ; • Colonel Chalmer, Assistant Director-
General of Artillery ; Colonel Brereton, C. 8., K.H.,
Royal Horse Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel Palliser,
Lieutenant-Colonel Thorndike, Brigade Major Bring-
ham; Captain Riddell, Deputy Assistant Quarter-
master-General to the Royal Artillery; Brigade
Major Walpole, Royal Engineers; Lieutenant-
Colonel Alves, and a number of officers on the full
and halfpay lists of her Majesty's land forces—there
being upwards of one hundred officers present be-
longing to the various branches of the service,
who all appeared greatly interested in witness-
ing the practice. At the conclusion of the firing of the
Minierifle at 800 yards range, the six 12 -pounders of the
troops of the Royal Horse Artillery were brought
forward to a station at 850 yards range, and live
spherical live shells fired from each of these howitzers.
The practice was very good at that long range, and
showed how destructive the Royal Horse Artillery
could be with that description of arm which can be
brought into the field with great rapidity with only
four horses, and moved and fired by the gunner with
equal facility as their light 6-pounders. The 9-
pounder field battery was drawn up at 1,000 yards
range, and fired spherical shells at that distance. The
Royal Horse Artillery subsequently advanced, and
took up a position at 300 yards distance from the tar-
get, and, five rounds were fired from each howitzer at
that range with case-shot, which spread considerably
with destructive effect. The 9 pounder field battery
was brought forward to within 350 yards of the
target, and fired a number of rounds of case sh of also
with destructive effect. When the firing was discon-
tinued, shortly after four o'clock, Major Brownrigg,
of the Grenadier Guards, instructed detachments of
the Royal Artillery in making signals, or telegraphing
intelligence to each other by a plain and simple mode
always at hand to operate with. Twelve gunners, six
carrying their chacos on the muzzles of their cars-
bines, and six carrying their great coats in the same
way, were brought forward to a station at 750 yards
from the mound. Three of the gunners their chacos
on the top of their carabines, and three their great
coati, were then marched to the mound and then took
up a position upon the top of it, the three carrying
their chacos in front, and the three carrying their
great coats in the rear, each man separating about
two steps from each other. The other six occupied
similar positions at the distance of 750 yeards from
the party on the mound. The telegraphic communica-
tions commenced by the three front rank gunners on the
mound raising their carabines, surmounted by their
chacos, at arm's length above their head, which was ex-
plained by Major Brownrigg, and responded to by the-
other three eimilarlyappointed raising their carabines,
surmounted by their chacof, over their heads. A
similar movement was made by the three gunners in
the rear on the mound, with their great coat?. The
chacos and great coats were subsequently raised two
at a time, and one at a time, from right to left, evi-
dently forming a very comprehensive al2babet or
understood signals of intelligence. The one party
was then brought 100 yards nearer the other, where
they went through a similar course of operations, and
both parties soon comprehended the object in view,
and responded to each other with great rapidity. It
is supposed the experiments to-day will conclude the
practice with the Minis rifle for the present at Wool-
wich, the firing of the non-commissioned officers to-
day, without reste, at 200, 400, 600, and 800 yards
ranges, being all that could be wished, and a proof
that they have acquired, under the instruction of
Major Brownrigg, a though knowledge of the use of
the new arm.

NAVAL INTJELLIGENCE.
THE MEDITERRANEAN.

We have correspondence from Malta to the 2d inst. of
some importance. It is already kno/n that the Indefa-
tigable, 50, Captain Smart, K.I-1., and the Encounter,
14, screw-corvette, Captain Gordon, had been ordered
to Lisbon, and that the Phaeton, 50, Captain a Elliot,
had been sent to Corfu to relieve the Indefatigable. The
Encounter arrived at Malta February 27, from Tenedos,
and was ordered to leave on the 9th inst. for England,
not Lisbon, and it was reported at Malta that the Phae-
ton would likewise follow the Indefatigable to Lisbon.
It was stated that Sir William Parker had received
orders from the late Board of Admiralty to detach a
couple of line-cf-battle ships from his fleet to Gibraltar
and Lisbon, and that the Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord
E. Russell, had been visaed to proceed immediately to
Gibraltar, and the Albion, 90, Captain Hope Johnstone,
to Lisbon.

It was also reported that the heaviest steam-frigate in
the Mediterranean, the Terrible, would accompany tho
Vengeance.
Banshee, steam-packet, Lieut. Commander Hosken,
arrived at Malta from Marseilles with the Overland India
Mail, and brought the dispatches for Sir W. Parker
under which he bas distributed his force.
