LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1853.

THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COPPER
MINING COMPANY.
The Committee of Management have much satisfaction in inform-
ing the Shareholders that the Company's superintendent and.eagln-
eers, and mining captain (completing the staff), sailed from the
Downs in the Agra, on the 21st inst. The Agra being a fast-sailing
clipper, it is confidently expected she will arrivo at Adelaide before
the Caroline, which took out the machinery and several of the
miners. Those eivatched by the emigrant ship Ramillies, In the
early part of February, are probably novV 'arrived at the mines, in-
structions having preceded them to the Colonial Committee to put
the men at work immediately on their arrival.
The Annual General Meeting of the Company will be held early In
June (as fixed by the Company's ruks), when resolutions will be
submitted for declaring the bonus, and for amending the rules of the
cost book, to enable the Company to work for gold, or to lease cer-
tain portions of their property for that purpose to others.
J. THOMPSON, Chairman.

THE FRENCH EMPIBE.

come and render to the Turks what they shall have
done to the Greeks. A Greek having met a kavasse
in the street fired a pistol at him. The kavasse
drew his yatagan to strike the Greek. Greeks
and Turks interfered in the matter, and the
whole city was divided into two camps. Last
evening the Governor had a Greek advocate ar-
rested, who was publicly preaching up in the
cafes revolt against the Government. He took
for pretext the Jews, and affirmed that he had
in his possession books which proved that the
Jews offered up the blood of Christians to their
God at the festival of Paster. The advocate being
a Greek who was not subject to the Porte, the
Governor could not punish him, but he informed
the Greek Consul of what had occurred, request-
ing to have him punished according to the Greek
laws. In the Island of Chaleis, near Constantino-
ple, an insurrection burst out during Easter, and
occasioned much disorder. Selim-Bey was obliged
to disperse the combatants with firearms, and on
this occasion the Greeks were more or less badly
wounded. At Iconium, in the Island of Marmora,
disorders still more sanguinary took place. The
Greeks have no, bells to their churches ; they make
use of planks, on which they strike with a hammer.
The Turkish troops desired to prevent that noise
being made, and at last they carried the church by
storm, tore down the planks, broke the sacred
vessels, and maltreated the priests. On both sides
there were dead and wounded. Troops came after-
wards from Constantinople to restore order. An
investigation has been ordered into the matter.
The Turkish Government does all it can t9l.)reserve

The Senate met on Monday; M. Troplong in the
chair. The President stated:that thirty-one bills
had been forviarded to him bytte Minister of State,
the examination' of which slionid be confided to five
committees to be noMinated in the bureaux. The
Senate then proceeded to deliberate on the bill re-
lating to the Councils of Prud'hommes, and de-
clared that it did not oppose its promulgation. A
similar decision was come to relative to sixteen
local bills, as well as to that concerning the trans-
mission of private messages by the electric tele-
graph. A number of reports on petitions were then
heard, and the proceedings terminated.
The Legislative Body met on Thursday; M. Bil-
lault in the chair. Leave of absence was accorded
to M. Geoffroy de Villeneuve. Various reports
were presented—one, on the bill to authorise the
alienation of apiece of property comprised in the
majorat of the Duke de Padoue ; another, on that
which prohibits the wearing of arms in Corsica ;
and on that, approving of an exchange of property
between the State and the heirs of Villpreux.
Count de la Gueronniere presented a report on the
bill having for its object to again put in force Arts.
86 and 87 of the penal code. The bill to concede
the Baths of Vichy was adopted, as was that re-
lating to the junction railways of the Rhone and
the Loire, and that relating to discount banks.
The proceedings then terminated.
The Moniteur contains a report from M. de Per-
signy, Minister of the Interior, to the Emperor,
propostrg7Thaiii- regulations for the -belt ' ad-
ministration of the Societe& de Charita- Maternelle,
to which the Empress had presented on her mar-
riage a sum of 100,000 f. The report is followed
by a series of regulations, to which the Emperor
has affixed his signature in token of approbation.
A second report from M. de Persigny follows, ad-
dressed to the Empress, giving her an account of
the manner in which her gift of 100,000 f. has been
distributed amongst the 54 establishments of
07tarite Maternelle which are to be found in France.
The list of the sums given to each has affixed to it
the signature of her Majesty, in token of approval.
The intelligence received from theßast, contained
in the Moniteur, has had the effect of arresting the
downward movement experienced for several days
at the Bourse, and at the termination of business a
considerable advance had occurred in the quotations
of all descriptions of public securities; in the Three
per Cents., for cash, to the amount of 85c., and in
the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. of 60c. In the
