The Committee have purchased one thousand acres of freehold
land on the Black Creek, in the county of Northumberland, in
Hunter-River district, on extremely advantageous terms, a very
considerable rortion of the purchase money being paid in shares,
which are to be locked up for at least six months. This valuable
property is situated on the slope of a ridge of mountains known to
abound with quartz of a crystalline and compact transition strata.
The detritus of these rocks form the auriferous alluvial deposits.
The land thus acquired by the Committee is nearly in the centre of
the district marked yellow in ➢lr. Wyld's map, as indicating the dis-
covery of gold.

Tue property being freehold will be absolutely vested in fee simple
n. Trustees for the Company. Full powers have been dispatched to

;he Agents of the Company in the COlony, and directions 'to secure

leases of such other portions of the gold country, whether in Sydney
or Port Philip, as arc well known to be most highly profitable for
mining purposes. . . . .

The Directors have determined •to dispatch to their estate fully
qualified scientific mineralogists, that the most minute inquiry and
examination may take place, and no valuable ore, mineral, or gem
be cast away.

The follov-ving extracts are given from notices of this Company in

The greatly increasing population, the commerce, the pastoral,
and agricultural riches of the colonies of New South Wales and Vic-
toria, the great success of the banks already established in Sydney,
Melbourne, and Geelong, together with the extraordinary yield of
the gold mines of these colonies, justly warrant the establishment of
a New Australian Bank, with branches in such towns as may appear
expedient.
It has therefore been proposed to form a new banking association,
to be entitled the Royal Australian Banking and Gold Importing
Company, to be incorporated under a Royal Charter.
The capital to be 250,0001., in 50,000 shares of 51. each,
on which a deposit of t 1. each shall be paid, and no further call to be
made until the Royal Charter shall have been obtained, and not
then, except by a resolution agreed to by a majority at a general
meeting of Shareholders, to be called together for that purpose, by
three regular advertisements in the' Times," and three other Lon-
don daily newspapers.

The proposed Company intend to establish an office in London
for the purpose of regulating and directing the general affairs of
the Company, and to open a Bank at Sydney, with branches at
Melbourne, and, if expedient, at Geelong, and other populous towns.
The hank and the branches to carry on the ordinary business of
banking by discounting bills, issuing notes under the provisions granted
by Charter, advancing money on undoubted security, and also
on consignment of gold ore and refined gold to the Company in
London; and purchasing gold M the colonies of New South Wales
and Victoria, together with the transaction of such other business
as may be safely and legitimately conducted by a Bank. To avoid
losses by fraud or neglect of duty, the managers, and all persons ap-
pointed by the Bank, will have to give competent security in England
for their fidelity and good conduct in those colonies.
A great part of the above capital being already subscribed, the
Royal Charter has been applied for, and is under consideration of
the Board of Trade, and the Deed of Settlement will be completed
when the remaining shares are subscribed, and the deposit of 1/.
per share paid to the bankers.
Applications for shares and prospectuses can now be received
only from the country, which must be made on or before
Monday, the 19th inst., at the offices of the Company, 9, Moorgate-
street, or of Messrs. Field, Son, and Wood, Warnford-court, Throg-
morton-street ; Messrs. Johnstone, Bradley, and Walker, brokers,

attention directed to arrangements and provisions for emigrants,
and the Government will extend the facilities it has already furnished
for emigration. To every emigrant a suitable Outfit is indispensable,

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
—" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by
his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addresSed himself to the non-medi-
of
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall n
detect any other equally
flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, ItlaY 30, 1851.
—" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified* adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they knew nothing, .with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true sperms_
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered
for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
notice
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford; but the Moderate
price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach
eve,7 one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April

GRAND ORGAN FOR THE CATHEDRAL OF
ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND.
A magnificent organ, destined for the above cathedral,
has just been completed by Messrs. Robsons, of St.
Martin's-lane, where, prior to its transmission across the
Atlantic, a numerous and fashionable assemblage of
ladies and gentlemen, including many amateurs and
professors, have for several days past attended to hear
its merits tested by Messrs. Rea, Noble, Pritchard,
Nottingham, and other eminent artistes. Its immense
powers (which will be readily conceived, when the di-
mensions are stated to be—height 26ft., width 22ft. , and
depth 12ft.,) could not, in the confined space of
the
manufactory, produce an effect equal to what will
doubtless take place in the destined arena, a building
250 ft. long, 180 ft. wide, and 90ft. high. The sound was
grand,:imposing, and harmonious, possessing great power
and brillianry, and: was pronounced to be a most
successful effort, even for the present advanced stage of
organ building. It has been built upon the latest im-
proved principle, and consists of three complete sets of
manuals, each ranging from C C to G in Alt, 56 notes.
The pedal organ is of very extensive compass, being
from CCCto F, 30 notes. Although the absence of a
double reed in the manual is to be regretted, yet the
•
choir is faultless, its delicate silvery tones forming
r a de-
cided contrast to the rich massive porti4llo

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.--By virtue of an
Act passed in the late session (c. 76) the Commissioners of
Works and Public Buildings are authorized to complete
improvements in Pimlico id in the neighbourhood of
Buckingham Palace. The- Thames embankment under
another Act, from Battersea-bridge to Chelsea-gardens, is in
of formation, and under this Act a new road is to be
formed to communicate with the Victoria-road, and the
King's-road is to be improved.

be from 10 to 15 per cent., whilst in those of a
ataBleaasorsdre costly and ornamental character the saving would be
much greater,. The uses to which iron may be applied
for building and architectural ornamentation have begun to
be appreciated only of late years, and as far as it has been
heretofore tried, the object aimed at has been to mould it
into forms imitative of other materials for which it is not by
its nature adapted. Mr. Pickett, on the contrary, has de-
voted himself to the creation of new and distinctive forms
to which the material would readily lend itself, and quite
independent of those arrargements which belong so pecu-
liarly to the masonic art. It would not be possible to convey
apart from the designs and illustrations the details of the
modus operandi in constructing iron edifices, but that they
are susceptible of the most beautiful and varied forms, from
the street front to the palatial residence, no one can doubt
who has seen the designs exhibited by I.tr. Pickett.
It is anticipated that a larger number of election
petitions will be presented in the forthcoming session than
for many years, and doubtless many seats will be exchanged.
It is rumoured that an eminent Queen's counsel has already
received 25 retainers.

3,600 miles have been atm ildoned without the direct
sanction of Parliament; and without a corresponding
redcctitin by the authority of Parliament of the
capital which the companies are empowered to
raise for their construction. From the latest returns
which havg been presented to Parfic.tnent relative to
the capital of railway companies, it appears that at the
end of 1850 railway companies bad raised, either by
shares or loans, a sum (gnat to 240,270,746 Z, and that
they retained powers to raise a farther sum of 122,431,9004
It uppetirs, also, that a., the same date there were
6,621 miles of; railway eommunicatim open, 867
miles in
,course of construction, and 4,472 not then
commenced. This sum of 122,431,9001. would, there-
foie, reprecent what remained of the capital authorised-
to be raised.by Act of Parliament, to complete the 857
miles in course of construction, and the 4,472 miles Lot
then commenced; But as it appears by what has preceded
that 3,600 miles, the construction of which has been sanc-
tioned by Parliament, have not been, and will probably
never ha, constructed under existing Acts of Parliament,
it may reasonably be inferred that of this large sum of
122,431,900/. but a comparatively small proportion will
ever be applied to the railway purposes to which:, under
the authority of Parliament, it was intended . to
be applied. The sums raised annually previous

12,358 fewer in 1851 than in 1850. From a comparative
statement prepared with the view of exhibiting
the fluctuations in the employment given by these i
extensive undertakings, it appears that, on the Ist of
May, 1847, there were 47,218 persons employed. on rail-
ways open for traffic, and 256,509 upon lines in course
of construction; on the Ist of May, 1848,52,688 persons
were employed upon lines open for traffic, and 188,177
upon lines in course of construction; on the 30th of
June, 1849, the number of persons employed upon rail-
waystraffic
open for was 55,968, and upon lines in
course of construction, 103,816; on the 29th of June,

,
1850, 59,974 persons were„ employed on railways open
for traffic, and 58,885 on 868 miles of railway in course
of construction, and on the 30th of June. 1851, 63,563
were employed on railways open for traffic, and 42,938
on 734 miles of railway in course of construction. The
annual increase of persons employed 'on railways was
respectively 5,470, 3,280, 4,006, and 3,589; the total in-
crease between May, 1847, and June, 1851, being 16,345.
The annual decrease of persons employed on railways in
course of construction was respectively 68,332, 84,361,
44,931, and 15,947, making the total decrease, between
May, 1847, and June, 1851, 213,571. The general re-
sult shown by these tables is, that on the 30th of June,
1851, the number of persons employed upon railways,
either in construction or working, was 197,226 less than
at the corresponding period in 1847. It would appear,
therefore, that in the interval which has elapsed, this
number of persons, who must have been withdrawn
from other industrial occupations in consequence of the
great demand for labour created by the impetus given in
1845 and 1846 to the construction of railways, had been
again absorbed in other occupations, and obtain a living
by other means. The reduction of labour, as divided
between the three kingdoms, is as follows: The
number of persons employed on the 30th of June, 1851,
is less than on the Ist of May, 1847,—1n England and
Wales, by 125,296; in Scotland, by 49,306; in Ireland,
by 22,624; total diminution, 197,226. From this it will
be seen that the cessation of railway works has fallen
more especially upon Scotland, where the greatest pro-
portionate reduction in the persons employed has taken
place. The number of persons employed in each
country on the 30th of June, 1851, was;—ln England and
Wales, 80,612; in Scotland, 8,802; in Ireland, 17,087;
total, 106,501.

SIG. CALCAGNO'S SOIREE MUSICALE.
A select, audience filled the handsome suite of rooms
at Mr. Coulon's residence in Marlborough-street, en
Menday evening, on the *occasion of a grand soirée
musicale given by Signor Calcagno. The programme
set., forth the names of Signora Lsmbra, Madlle. Lanza,
:
Miff . Amelia Hill, , Signori Campanella, Mercuriali
&c. Miss Hill's graceful delivery of Rode's air;
Signora Lambra's " Solto it paterno petto," given with
wonderful fire, and yet, when the sentiment permits it,
,with the most touching pathos; and Madlie..Lanza's
, Va Is, Rena," were enthusiastically applauded, as were
Caleagno himself, .Susini, Mercuriali, and Campanella,
. sevEral arias and romanzas. A considerable portion
of the audience were Italians, who, from the circum-
stance that nearly all the songs were in their own lan-
guage, seemed infinitely more at home than the
less demonstrative, though not less
discriminating Anglo-Saxons, whose
tasteful or
phlegmatic eti-
quette formed so strong and so . amusing a contrast to
their undisguised and unrestrained enthusiasm.

portion of the audience had perhaps . been partly,not

Galleano Ravara ou'ld recite the third canto of Dante's
" Inferno," but they manifested even less

This would have been felt as a great 105.5 had not the
deficiency been supplied by the introduction of several
exquisite morceaux not in the programme. Amont
already per.formed her
others, Madile. Coulon, who had
favourite piece, Thalberg's fantasia from.► Lucia, took the
inspiri
by s
Tapurrise by plaing a startlingly
no brilliant and
" rantella, y " which had she t broken off
with evidently intentional abruptness, seemed likely to
.bear out the old superstition and set the auditory danc-
ing. Madlle. Coulon was honoured with an encore
in the Tarantella, and a fantasia on tho concertina by
the inimitable Regondi received a similar favour.
