ROYAL SANTIAGO MINING COMPANY.—The annual
meeting of this company was held on Wednesday, at the
offices in Broad-street-buildings, City. J. Robinson, Esq.,
took the chair, near whom were Baron de Goldsmid, Mr.
Alderman Thompson, the Hon. Leslie Melville, and Sir
Samuel Scott, Bart. Mr. Dockar, the secretary, read the
report, from which it appeared that during the half-year
the quantity of copper raised was 2,725 tons, of which 1,737
tons were sold, and produced nett 12,9251. 7s. 10d. The
remaining 988 tons (except 6.1 tons daily expected) were in
Swansea, and part thereof were sold on the 24th ult., the
whole being credited for 8,3541. 10s. 7d., which, with the
interest of the reserve fund, made a total of receipts for the
half year of 21,9821. 9s. Gd. The expenditure for the same
period, including 5191. Is. 10d. for income-tax, was
19,0531. 9s. 10d., leaving a profit of 2,928/. 19s. 7d., which,
placed against the deficiency of the last half year, left a gain
on the year's operations of 654/. 3s. 9d. After considering
the situation of the Company, the directors were of opinion
that the undivided profits of the half year, reported in July
last, might be paid to the proprietors, which would be at the
rate of 235. per share, and in amount 8,050/. After some
discussion on various points, the report was adopted. Mr.
Robinson was then re-elected a director, and Mr. Jerning-
ham an auditor, when a vote of thanks was passed to the
directors, on the motion of the Hon. L. Melville,seconded by
Mr. Wilson, and the meeting adjourned.

bankers 69/. 18s. 9d., and in the treasurer's hands 293/. Bs. 4d.

the report of the sub-committee was laid before the meeting.
The total capital of the Society is 3,8501. Is. The committee
and other officers having been chosen, the proceedings closed
with a vote of thanks to Dr. Crucifix, the chairman.
ORIGIN OF MODERN NAMES AND TITLES.—In the
glossary of an ably written work just out, the " Costume in
England," by F. W. Fairholt, F.S.A., it appears that a short
garment or doublet was termed a Paltok—and, says the
author, quoting from the Eulcgium (temp. Rich. II.),
" They have a weed of silk called a Paltok." Here, then, is
clearly the hint so ably seized upon by the Messrs. Nicoll,
Regent-street, for in configuration and taste there is scarcely
a difference between their elegant aristocratic registered
Llama garment: while the word paletok has evidently sug-
gested that of Paletot.
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.—The Grand Duke of Tus-
cany has ordered the establishment of electrical telegraphs
ia his states, and appointed as director in chief of the new
system M. Matteuci, a gentleman who has acquired CCD"
