SULPHUR MINES IN AFRlCA..—Letters frame
Tripoli give some interesting particulars of an attersP
lately made by a French company to work the sulphur
mines in the Gulf of Syrte. It seems that a French ch°'
mist, named Subtil, residing at Tripoli, having accident'
ally seen some specimens of sulphur of renirikable puritp
which he ascertained to have been brought from the is
terior, determined to visit the place of its production
After a search of forty days, traversing the Desert of Bart
and arriving quite at the bottom of the Gulf of Byrte,
found mountains of sulphur mineral, and a lake wb°l
bottom and sides were sulphurous earth. The mineral
the rock sulphur is extremely abundant, quite on the ger'
face, and many camels were speedily loaded with samples'
The district was nominally. within the Pacb,alic of Tripoli°
but bad for some time been absolutely ruled by Abdo It I
Moorish chieftain of illustrious birth, who naaintail
an army of forty or fifty thousand rren, and enjoY°A
a virtual sway over a very extensive Portion of this P. 4.
of the African continent. From this. chieftain M. SO"
obtained the exclusive right of working the mines in queve
tion for a certain number of years; and, on the strength °E
the contract, he returned to France, and obtained ow
support of some of the first merchants at Marseilles to rb:
prosecution of his plan. In May he landed in Africa Wit;
a number of workmen, and amply provided with the WO'
of turning the mines to the best account. But in the I°'
serval the aspect of of airs had changed. The aleel
chieftain had been defeated by the troops of Tripoli, ua,„
the district had returned to its allegiance. The Brig
Government had protested against the contract with A*l,c,
as a monopoly, and therefore a breach of their treat)s
Turkey, and ail the exertions of M. Subtil to obtaizes ete'
&mat ion of his contract were fruitless. He was, leaweveri'
a man of too much spirit to abandon his enterprise'
without a struggle, and accordingly, having abandon"
his monopoly: he is negotiating with the Turkish Govera-i
meet for permission to work the mines, in the hope°
realising a handsome remuneration for his outlay behge
he could be disturbed by the competition of any other at
venturers. The sulphur district lies between the ports 0
Tripoli and Bengazi. The rock ore has been tound t°
to give 35.40 per cent, of pure sulphur, and also 2.15 (,
,
sulphate of soda, and 5-1 D per cent, of )'
salt. Tne so;
phurous earth gave 45 50 per cent, of pure sulphur, ho'
was more difficult of fusion. European produce in the
interior of Africa bears a profit of 700 per cent., and goid
dust sells there for only one dollar the rnetecal, or 37°",
English grains, and, indeed, all the interior produce jell;
a similarly low rate.--Journal of Industry.

DISTRESS AND DISEASE IN SHOREDITCO

Burton, surgeon, of the Hackney-road, respecting thts

tensive prevalence of small-pox and other coot (l5
leases in the thickly-populated and ill-ventilated, par .0'

hovels of the .meanest description, named Old, Nr w, sw

square, and in one of these', inhabited by no &vier thOd
eleven persons, Mr. Burton was called upon to stie:e
seven who were labouring hosier small-pox. M any of kift
patients have also been Inbouring under a slow' tYPP'rs
fever, and so great was the alarm created in then eigbhnoss
