AUSTRALIAN MINING COMPANY.—The annual ge-
neral meeting of this company was held yesterday at
the offices, Adelaide-Place, London-bridge. Edward
Hagan, Esq., deputy chairman, presided. Mr. Hodg-
kinson, the secretary, read the report. The mines will
henceforth be called the Trentcillo mines. The di-
rectors have great pleasure in announcing to the share-
holders the acquisition of nine sections of mineral land
in the neighbourhood of the Capuntla mines, which are
likely to prove a very valuable addition to the company's
property. At Wheal Rothschild four men raised and
cleared eight tons of excellent ore in a fortnight. With
reference to the question of a royalty on the special
-urvey, the directors have to rep, iet that they had an
interview in December last with Earl Grey, but nut con-
curring with his Lordship's views as to the terms of the
reference, and expecting to receive by the Buchan Castle
the original land grant and protest, they proposed to
Lord Grey to await the arrival of these documents be-
fore giving a definite answer. This vessel, however,
having been unfortunately lost, no further steps have
been taken, and the directors do not consider it advi-
sable to press the subject at present on the notice of the
Government. A great number of miners were seat out
'rem Cornwall, in the Raja, on the 23d of May last, and
they are expected to reach Adelaide early in September,
and their arrival will enable the committee of manage-
ment to prosecute vigorously the mining operations of
the company. The directors have to report the retire
.neat of Sir Hyde Parker from the direction. Tne fi-
nancial statement showed that the funds at present in
nand would be amply sufficient to carry on the opera-
tions of the company, until such time as the shipments
of ore shall have realised a fund en which they could
with propriety draw. The following gentlemen were
re-elected directors.—Sir J. Capper. E. Hagan, and
John Masterman, jun., Esqrs., and the proceedings ter-
nonated with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
