IVF INING INVESTMENT.—Parties seeking
x. sate and profitable investments should turn their attention
to the shares of those companies formed for mining, especially when
their estates are in Cornwall and Devon. The dividends from many
of these are equal to 10, 15, and 20 Der cent. upon the outlay
while others not yet paying dividends, but having excellent
prospects of soon doing so, afford abundant scope for speculation, not
alone from anticipated early returns to the proprietary, but likewise

on account of the great enhancement in the value the stock at-
tendant thereon. Mr. JNO S. LANE, 32. Poultry-, London, having
correspondents in all the richest mineral districts in England, is in a
position early to advise his camas. Parties communicating will re-
ceive all requisite information, and Mr. LANE will recommend
either dividend paying, or non-dividend paying concerns, to those
wishing to embark in mining enterprise, and state his reasons for so
doing

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.

Every day--every hour—furnishes additional matter for
observation and comment on the immense exertions being
made to meet the requirements of the coming war—the cam-
paign on land—the operations of our naval forces at sea.
With respect to the army, we may now repeat with confi-
dence that the number of troops to be despatched at once is
10,000 officers and men. But as many more will be held iu
readiness to reinforce the British contingent, should necessity
demand their services in the East.
If possible the following will proceed on he 18th or 19th :
3 battalions of the Guards.
7th Regiment of Foot.
28th Regiment of Foot.
33d Regiment of Foot.
79th Regiment of Foot.
2d Battalion of Rifles.
4 companies of Artillery.
The others will follow as soon as the transports can be got
ready.

It is also intended to send out at least three regiments of
cavalry.
We stated yesterday that certain steam-ships had been
taken up for the conveyance of these troops. But at least 20
ships of the largesttonnage will be required to convey troops
and supplies.
We understand that the government have claimed the ser-
vices of the contract mail steamers, the exigencies of war be-
ing paramount to all other considerations.
We Lear frwn Liverpool that there are other steamers than
those of Cunard's line of pa.ikets that are available for the
Queen's service, but it will take three or four weeks to get
them ready to receive troops.
In the Clyde, we believe, there are no steamers available,
and Bristol can do little. Perhaps one moderate-sized vessel
can be picked up there. The value of those much and wrongly-
abused iron screw-steamers, so much decried by officials—we
allude to the limoon, by Napier, and Vulcan, by Mare and
Co. is new appreciated, and even the Megaera would be
considered almost a godsend, if she were to drop home just
now from the West Indies.
Next to the steamers of the Royal Navy, it is very clear
that, for the emergency, the Government must, at least for
the present, look to the great steam companies of London for
assistance, and we trust that, as time is beyond all purchase,
the authorities will deal liberally with those companies who
help the country in the time of need. The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's ship Ripon, paddle-wheel, there is no
doubt, will convey the first division (1,500 men) en route to
the theatre of war ; the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
iron screw-ship Himalaya, it is calculated will take 3,000, and
the new screw-ship Manilla will take 500.
The General Screw Company's fine new iron screw-ship
Golden Fleece, ready to go to Australia, to perform the com-
pany's regular service, will be diverted from her route, and
will be fitted at once for 2,000 troops, and the sister screw-
ship Jason, we have no doubt, will also be employed for the
conveyance of troops at terms advantageous to the company.
There are other ships that we hear of ready to be offered to
the government, and at early notice will be fitted for imme-
diate service. , .

The Peninsular and Oriental Company have a ship now
being converted from a paddle-wheel into a sailing vessel,
by Mare and Co., of Blackwall. We hearthat by the extra-
ordinary resources of Mr. Mare's establishment this ship will
be turned out of hand in six weeks, and be ready for the con-
veyance of either stores or troops.
The Messrs. Green it is stated have 6,000 tons of shipping
to be employed in her Majesty's service, and probably their
ships will take out 1,000 horses to Constantinople.:
Wheresoever we turn we find the order and the means of
carrying it out simultaneously received and provided ; and
although steam even is no match for time, the mighty re-
sources of this country—the recuperative energy of English-
men, there can be no doubt, cannot be exceeded by our
friendly neighbours and allies the gallant French, with whom
we are about to fight the battles of patriotism and civilisation;
and are beyond comparison superior to all other powers of
Europe or Asia.
With the sailing transports of the old war, according to our
closest estimate, our troops could not be expected to anchor
in the Golden Horn under 6 or 7 weeks, whereas by the first-

rate steam-vessels that we possess or are available, we can,
without difficulty, transport our army from England to Con-
stantinople in at most three weeks, and with such ships as
the Himalaya, Golden Fleece, tile., the distance could be run
over in a fortnight.
And now a word for our fleets. We may say fleets, for
our scale of fitting out at our Royal arsenals scarcely re-
cognises squadrons. A squadron is created in a day—a fleet
is formed in a week ; and the world wonders whence they
come. We pass by 120's our 84's and 72's—ships su-
perior to those vessels with which our heroes made the
" Ist of June " glorious, added celebrity to the " Nile,"
and made " Trafalgar." a " household word," as so
much old stock in trade scarcely worth an Admiralty
" Dutch auction." The strength of the country, the re-

presentatives of our little island, are the mighty marine
locomotives, such as the Duke 3f Wellington, 131, St. Jean
d'Acre, 101, Royal George, 121, Agamemnon, 91, Princess
Royal, 91, Caesar, 91, James Watt, 91, Nile, 91, Cressy, 81,
S msparcil, 71, Hogue, 60, Ajax, 60, Blenheim, 60, Edinburgh,
60—fourteen such screw ships as, if properly manned, are a
match for 28 sail of the canvas fleet of Russia. Of this, fleet

we have at present in the Channel or at outports no less than
a dozen wearing the Royal pendant, and to-day we shall have
an important edition of this mighty force in the Majestic, 81,
to be commissioned at Sheerness, and commanded by one of
the most gallant and popular aficers of the navy, Captain
James hope, C.B.,—the Captain of the Firebrand, who le4
the way up the Parana, and in his own gig cut the chain
which fixed the boom across that noble river at Obligado
Point, which gave freedom to the previously pent-up com-
merce of the country.
We have thus 13 heavy screw-ships for offence or defence
in our Channel and ports, with at least half a dozen screw fri-
gates and corvettes, and as many sailing line-of-battle ships,
which are to be in the Downs by the 6th of March next,
ready for the signal that shall send them, with the French
force that Will have joined by that time, to blockade the Rus-
sian ports or fight the Baltic fleets.
Without indulging in surmises we may remark, however,
that the fact of reserving the Nile for a flag-ship, and that
Nile having been commissioned by a commander who was a
lieutenant with Rear-Admiral Berkeley, C. 8., when he com-
manded the Thunderer, 84, at St. Jean d'Acre, suggests the
belief amongst many that the second naval lord of the Board
of Admiralty will be the fortunate officer. —Morning Herald.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.
Woomile'', FEB. 10.—There is scarcely anything else talked
of in the garrison here than the rumours of preparations for
war which are in progress, although not officially announced
iu general or garrison orders. It is well known, however,
that waggon loads of the munitions of war leave the Royal
Arsenal daily for the grand depot, where they are carefully
packed, and kept in a constant state of readiness, to be
forwarded to any part, at home or abroad, on the shortest
notice. A report has been circulated to-day that two
troops of the Royal Horse Artillery, the A Troop,
under the command of Captain Taylor, at present
stationed at Canterbury, with the C Troop, under the
command of Capt. E. C. Warde, stationed at Woolwich,
and six companies who have gone through a course of field-
battery instruction, or are at present in the batteries, are to
be placed under orders to hold themselves in readiness for em-
barkation for service at the Mediterranean stations, or in any
part of the East where their services may be found requisite.
The batteries are the first six on the roster for foreign ser-
vice—Captain Paynter's company, Bth battalion, at present
at Tilbury Fort ; Captain Fitzmayer's company, 3d batta-
lion, at Woolwich ; Captain Harrison's company, 11th
battalion, at Woolwich ; Captain Cheetham's company, 11th
battalion, atWoolwich; and Capt. Swinton's company, II bat-
talion, at Dover. The troops and batteries are, it is said, to
be placed under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bloom-
field, of the Royal Horse Artillery, and nephew of the late
Lieutenant-General Lord Bloomfield, who was for many years
the commandant of the garrison at Woolwich. Captain Har-
rison, whose company is fourth on the roster for foreign ser-
vice, is at present recruiting-officer at Lisburn, in Ireland,
but on his company being placed under orders he will have to
join at head-quarters here, and all men on furlough or on the
recruiting service will be called to the head-quarters at
Woolwich, if they belong to any of the above-named batteries.
Preparations are in progress for the formation of au additional
battalion immediately, as there are a great number of fine
young men recruits at present in the garrison.

CONVEYANCE OF Taoors.—The Government have taken yes
terday from the Peninsular and Oriental Company, for the
conveyance of troops, their steamers Ripon and Manilla, and
also the Himalaya, which is expected back from Alexandria
about the 17th inst. The Ripon is a paddle-wheel ship of
1,600 tons and 450-horse power ; the Manilla is a small screw
propeller of 635 tons and 60-horse power; and the Himalaya
is a screw propeller of 3,5V0 tons and 700-horse power.
WINDSOR, Feb. 10.—Last night orders were received at the
infantry barracks for 350 rank and file of the 2d battalion of
Scots Fusileer Guards to hold themselves in readiness to em-
bark for Constantinople on Thursday or Friday next. It is
understood that similar draughts will be made from the six
other battalions of Foot Guards, making a magnificent brigade
of 2,500 strong from the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots
Fusilier Guards. The Guards will march from Windsor,
under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Dixen, direct to
the port of embarkation. This morning a party of 21 ofc
the Fusileers, accompanied by several non-commissioned
officers, were despatched to different parts ef the
the country,lowered

ment of men, the standard height of recruits has been

1 a Fifty two men of the 9th company of the
CHATHAM, -
Royal Sappers and Miners will arrive at Chatham on Tuesday
next, under the command of Capt. W. H. Jesse, Royal Engi-
neers, from Woolwich for the purpose of going through the
course of duty in field-work instruction, under the direction of
Colonel H. D. Jones, the director of engineering. The whole of
these men, with the officer in command, were present
throughout the Kaffir war, under Sir Harry Smith, and
suffered severely, and nearly all of them were wounded. They
went abroad in 1845, and returned home in 1852. The men
are in expectation of receiving medals for their valuable ser-
vices. The 7th company of the Royal Sappers and Miners,
under command of Captain C. J. Gibb, Royal Engineers, con-
sisting of 101 men, will arrive at Woolwich on Tuesday next,
from Hurst Castle, near Portsmouth.
Dente, Feb. O.—Recruiting is going ou very briskly in
Dublin at present. Great numbers of young lads, under the
regulation height for the line, are offering, but rejected on
that account. If there was a new battalion of riflemen
ordered, the ranks would soon be filled up with active young
fellows, every way fitted for such a service.—Evening Post.
LIMERICK, Feb. 9.—No official information has yet been
received by the 14th of their departure from this garrison.
and we are of opinion that the early dates fixed on which the
regiments are to embark, as stated by our metropolitan con- I
temporary, are erroneous. Recruiting parties belonging to
the 14th Regiment, with full band, traversed Limerick this
day, inviting youths to enter her Majesty's service to the
tunes of " Garryowen," " Patrick's Day," &e., and 51. Ios.
bounty. Now is your time, boys. Within the past week
over 100 boys have left the workhouse to join the army.
Coax, Feb. 9.—On Tuesday the draft of the 59th Regiment
was put on board the Surge transport at Queenstown, for
Hong Kong; and the first division of the 9th Regiment was
also
„put on board the Canterbury transport for the Mediter-
ranean. Both vessels sailed yesterday from Queenstown for
their respective debtiotionet The Service coutrazies of the
