THE POLTISIOBE MINING COMPANY.—The Poltimore
Mining Company have notified that two of Berdan's
machines will be
double crushing . erected and in opera-
tion at their mines in the course of a fortnight. As
there are also sonic of these machines in operation in
North Wales it may be hoped that results will soon he
obtained of a sufficiently general and authentic descrip-
tion to warrant a decided opinion not only on the:r
merits, but also as to the existence of gold in Eng-
land in a remunerative form. Thus far, nothing
has publicly transpired to throw discredit on the
claims of the invention, but it is known that many
experienced persons still refuse to believe in its capa-
bility, and, from the circumstance of its dealing with
such a matter as the production of gold, the temptations
it affords to adventurers of all kinds to bring it into repu-
tation for the purpose of deluding the public into the
purchase of worthless mining shares is so strong that no
evidence short of long-continued demonstration should
be relied upon respecting it.

SHIPS FOR CONVEYANCE OP TROOPS.—The Govern-
ment have taken up the new ship Jason, belonging to
the General Screw Steam Company, to carry troops to

coal. The Prince, of 2,700 tons and 300-horse power,
belonging also to the General Screw Steam Company, was
launched yesterday at Blackwall, and will be ready for
