The very unsatisfactory controversy respecting the
value of Californian mines and titles, would probably
soon cease if the example of two leading companies were
followed. The Ague Fria took advantage some time
back of Mr. Wright's presence in England to obtain for
the shareholders a full explanation of their prospects,
and these were deemed very encouraging. Other com-
panies, we have reason to believe, are much bett..-
than has been supposed, and have their capital almost
wholly at command, pending the decision of the question
of titles. The most sensible and straightforward course,
however, that we have seen in respect to the restoration
of confidence, is that adopted by the directors of the
Carson's Creek Mine. The board determined to rend
out a deputation to California for the purpose of satis-
fying themselves upon these important points:-
Ist. The title of the present proprietors to the mining
property, and the lands on which the some are siturved.
21. The constitution of the company—the names of
the members now constituting it—the shares in which
they are entitled—the names of its officers—and the fact
of its having been incorporated according to the laws of
California, consistently with the laws of the United
States—and also the legal incidents and consequences of
such incorporation.
It is under a " Squatter's title " that the mines and
lands of the Carsons Creek Company are held. It is
represented that the mode of acquiring rights to land by
American citizens, in every case of annexation of a new
state to the United States, has been for parties to appro-
priate a district of land of a defined extent of territorial
surface, and to enclose and improve it, and that upon re-
gistering a claim to the land so appropriated, in the dis-
trict court of the county, with certain forms prescribed
by the court, and also registering such claim in the court
of the country or state, the location is surveyed, and the
right of the party appropriating it is confirmed; and that,
this ceremony performed and completed, the registered
proprietor acquires, according to the laws of the coun-
try, an indefeasible freehold title to the land. It must be
ascertained whether this is the law of California; and
also, what is the law of the United States on this sub-
ject, and whether all the requisites have been performed
by the proprietors of the Carsons Creek Company for
securing the title to the several locations as freehold.
As to the constitution of companies in general under
the Act of Congress that regulates them, it is recom-
mended that particular inquiry should be instituted.
Then as to the second greed abject of the deputation, the
value of the mine, the title has been looked to, and the
locality and extent, and an examination is to be made as
to whether veins of gold in the quartz rock of the
mine be, as stated, visible to the naked eye; whether
there be an abundance of timber, and an unfailing sup-
ply of water power on the location of the Stanislaus
river, and whether the location on Carsons Creek be of
the high value it is represented to be, as a site for the
erection of machinery for the purposes of the re

2. Of pulverizing or reducing it.

washieg.l
4. Of carriage of the metal to San Francisco.
You will report the actual condition and appearance of
the mine; the number of men and mules, or horses, em-
ployed; the amount and kind of machinery in use; the
number of shafts open; and the mode in which the ac-
counts of the mine are kept.
Copies of these instructions have been circulated
among all the shareholders, and besides what we have
given there are other points le fleeting great credit on
the caution and judgment of the board, and their sense
of the responsibility that rests upon them.
The committee of bondholders have received advices
from Mexico, dated 3d ult. The agents at the different
ports had up to that date received, for account of Messrs.i
Baring Brothers and Co,, in reimbursement of their
advance for the January dividend, about 500,000 dolls.,The
of which about 356,000 dolls. had been shipped.

.The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were

American were taken for export, and 2,500 American

The sales comprised 1,000 Egyptian at 6d. to 10d , 500
Surat at 3d. to 4id., 60 Sea Island at la. 4d. to Is. 6id.,

From the Leipze Fair there are accounts of May 5,
at which date business progressed in much the same
manner as at the commencement. Calicoes wore rather
cheaper than at the previous fair, though with a good
demand. Leather had not a brisk sale, and was 1 to 2
rix dollars per cent. eheeper. Cloths and buckskins
were purchased to some extent, but the supply was
large,
