In announcing the present, the Sixth Season of the Royal Italian
Opera, the Directors feel it almost unnecessary to repeat their
assurances, or to reiterate their pledges of forme seasons, as to the
future conduct of this great Lyrical Establishment : hoping that the
manner in which they have hitherto conducted It will be accepted
by their Patrons as the best guarantee for its future management.
During the extraordinary season of the past year, the Audiences
of the Royal Italian Opera numbered among them some of the most
eminent Musical Professors and Amateurs of Europe, many of
whom were intimately acquainted with the great Lyrical Theatres
of Italy, France, and Germany and it must be a matter of pride
and gratification to the English Public, as well as to the Directors
hemselves, to know that the Royal Italian Opera (both as regards
the extraordinary talent of its individual Artistes, as well as its
general completeness and perfection ai a whole) was pronounced by
I these distinguished persons to stand unrivalled among its European
competitors. -
By the following outline of the arrangements for the Present
Season it Will be seen that not only haver the most distinguished
Artistes of last season been re-engaged, btit that others now occu-
pying the,highest positions in the Co, tinental Theatres have been
ridden to the Establishment. The Orchestra and Chorus have re-
ceived several important additions; and it will also be four I that
In the department of the Ballet (which will still be limited to short
DivertiSsements, and to those Dances incidental to the Operas), a
very censi iera le augmentation in the personnel has taken place.
In fact, extensive as the Company of the Royal Italian Opera hi-
therto has been, t e assemblage of Artistes this year will be found
to surpass that of any farmer season.
The Repertoire of the Royal Italian Opera ,nelv , consists of
THIRTY-SIX OPE itAS,- etch of which is complete in Seenery, Cos-
tumes, and Appointments. . • . ‘:

pc), taut of these is the Schindler lode, witlx.an ascertained length of a
mile, and a breadth of unusual magnitude. The produce of th 3 ex-
traordinary lode. is of uncommon richness, averaging, besides its
great yield of lead, no less than 20 i oz. of silver to the ton. It is in-
tersected by two smaller lodes, which run obliquely towards it, one

of which, the Tuefels Grand, is also of extreme richt' ass for silver,
,yielding in the assays of 1851, besideS its lead, no less than 108 oz.
to the ton. The other, the klerrenwald, is of equal richness, if not

superior.

Secondly, the Native Silver Workings comprising two Mines in
the Heubachglen, falling into the valley of the Kiuzig, at a short
distanca from Offenburg, near Baden Baden, which are extremely
rich in native silver and cobalt ores. These have been worked
down to the water level, and by the application of draining, they
will be brought into immediate yield of large and most profitable re-
turns.

The reports in the hands of the mining authorities have been col•

lated by a German miner of eminence, and examined and approved
by Captalia Matthew Francis, whose experience in lead mining is
well known in this country. M. Daub estimates the probable yield
at only ten tatiamis depth, from the present edit level of two of the
three mines in the bliinsterthal, at 5,250 tons of pig lead, and
23,0001b5. of silver.

This quantity, at present prices, is worth 120,000/. ; and supposing
to cost one half to work the mines, will give a profit of 60,0001.

upon ten fathoms sunk. the yield of the Native Silver and Cobalt
Mines in the lleubach is estimated by him at an equal value.
The workings in these mimes have hithert , been limited to the
ground above the levels of the valleys, which could be drained by
edit, no steam-engine having been employed for deeper draining ;
and even at those shallow depths great quantities of native silver,
silver lead, and cobalt ores, have been realised. By the introduction
of steam-engines and pumping machinery on an adequate scale,
n anaged by competent English engineers, the real and vast
mineral wealth of this property will be fully developed; and taking

into consideration the advanced state of the works, and the ore now

in sight, a dividend must he realised at an early date.
For the purpose of realising such advantages, and obtaining the
co-operation of English skill and enterprise, the Mining Association
of Baden has ceied to this Company the whole of those rich

Mines, together with the extensive Crushing and Dressing Machi-
nery, Smelting and Refining Furnaces, completely fitted up, and in
working order, with the tools, appurtenances, water-courses, and
other rights, on which vast sums have been expended, for a mode-
rate price, which they have agreed to take entirely in Shares. By
this arrangement, this Company secures the co-operation of a highly
influential body of Shareholders in Germany, including names of
the highest distinction ; while, at the same time, the entire and ab-
solute control of all operations is vested in the Board of Directors
in London, but with the advantage of a Committee at Carlsruhe,
whs will carry out the arrangements agreed to, and, under instruc-
tions, represent the Directors in all local matters.
The original Company boing chartered under the law of Comman-
dite, all responsibility is limited to the amount of Shares held. •
The close co tiguity of a railway and of the Rhine to the works
facilitates the transport of the produce of the Mines, for which there
is a ready market, sit.d the carriage of coal to the works, of which
there is an abundant supply in the asti scent districts.
It is proposed at present to issue out of the capital, in addition to
28,000 Shares granted in respect of the purchase, only so many Shares
as shall be deemed necessary for immediate purposes, but with a re-
servea power to the Directors to issue the remainder, should circum-
stances render It advisab.e to do so.

In a commercial point of view, this property presents the special
point of interest, that silver is already coming into increased demand,
and will continue to rise in value as gold becomes more abundant in
this and oilier countries. _

The attention of the public is invited to the fine specimens of the
native silver ore from one of the lodes, with other minerals, which
have excited the adintratiun of the molt competent judges, and,
together with the reports of the Baucn Con] any, may be seen at the
offices of the company.

PROSPECTUS.
This Company has been formed to work Gold and other Mines
in ene of the most favoured districts of AUStSAULL, and the Com-
mittee of Management has obtained frOm the Proprietor a
P of which
mineral lease for forty-two years, of 12,500 acres,
being half
of the Segenhoe Estate, a very large portion
has been proved to contain vast mineral riches, and to be
intersected with quartzose auriferous veins of the most promising
character. This estate was granted by the Crown, has been in pos-
session of the proprietor for 30 years, and permission has been sub •
sequantly given to worst all mines, whether of gold, silver, or other
metals. In 1836 this estate was pronounced by Judge Cracroft, an
eminent geologist, to be a mass of mineral Wealth, and subsequent
investigations have entirely confirmed the fact.
It has been ascertained beyond a doubt, that auriferous deposits
exist throughout the Hunter River district, over which this estate ex-
tends for 20 miles (vide Sir It. Murchison's Geological Lectures), and
that the sands of three rivers running through the Prop are richly
impregnated with gold. Gold is also known to exist in conjunction
with many of the other ores, especially copper. The Committee have
secured the exclusive right of working all the minerals on the estate,
and it is to be observed that, from the abundance of copper ore
found on the Hunter River, the copper-smelting companies on its
property
banks have already found it necessary to increase their buildings
and machinery.
A remarkable fact connected with mining enterprise in Australia is,
that the first discoverer of gold there, Mr. Hargraves,
has selected
the Hunter River in preference to all other localities as the site of his
first operations, and possessed himself of au estate within two hours
ride of Segenhoe
--- '-

Public attention is especially requested to the fact that powers to
underlet setts to other parties have been secured by the Committee
of Management of this undertaking, as it is obvious that the large

It is propmed to
survey of the estate, and to lay it out in mining setts.
Negotiations are pending for portions of the property with three
companies, which cannot fail to insure to the shareholders an imme-
diate return of the capital invested, and to become a certain source
of future revenue without risk, and the Committee are new prepared
to grant leases of setts to other parties.
The Comm ttee of Management have to announce two most
important advantages which this undertaking possesses over all
others, viz., a steam mill in full operation, erected by the proprietor
on the estate, and most admirably
addi-
tional machinery, for crushing and preparing the ores ; and that in-
dispensable auxiliary for the perfection of mining enterprises, an
abundance of water power. adapted, with some slight
The project now offered to the public presents an opportunity for
the investment of capital of no ordinary character, looking to the
extent of land secured, the combination of its mineral resources, the
local advantages for the transport of produce, the abundance of fuel
for working steam-engines and other purposes, the production of
limestone for erecting buildings, the ample steam and water power,
the admission, duty free, of all machinery and goods, the restriction
of which is so great an impediment to enterprise in California, and
the existence of English laws, making all contracts binding ; so con-
fident, therefore, is the proprietor of the success of the undertaking,
that he agrees to take two-,birds of the purchase-money in shares,
and requircs only the small royalty (lone-fifteenth.
