THE DRESSMAKERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN.
you kindly raise your potent voice is
favour of ns poor dressmakers? Here am I sitting,
dinned by my landlady for rent, and nothing wherewithal -
to satisfy. her demands. " How so," you will say, " I
can see in a book, lying before you, that you have
several amounts due to you for dressmaking." Soft,
you, Mr. Editor, and so I have; but allow me to explain
that my ladies will not think of paying me for two or
three months to come, and when they do, they very
kindly send some more dresses to be made, upon which
I am expected to lay out 11. to IL 10s. for lace, gimp,
trimmings, &c., which very often takes half or two-
thirds of the little bill they have just paid, to purchase,
or where the importunities of my baker, grocer, &c.,
get so strong that I am obliged to divide a little bill
between them, how often have I had to pledge my little
Sunday finery to purchase the necessary trimmings to
enable some lady to sport at an evening party, while I,
poor mortal, must deprive myself of the only solace of
life—namely, my Sunday walk, to enjoy the fresh breeze
of heaven. Neither do the ladies consider how lam to
pay the two poor girls I hake to employ—they must be
paid—but the ladies c.kre not how. Do, pray, expose
this thoughtlessnetos in the higher classes, and you will
merit the thanks of,
Yours truly,
A DRESSMAKER.

SILVER VALLEY MINING COMPANY.—Yesterday
the second special general meeting of this company was
held at the offices of Mr. Stainsby, in Finsbury square.
R. Hodgson, Esq., in the chair. The report of the
mining captain stated that they had about tour fathoms
to drive to prove the junction of the tin lode ; he thought
the caple, which is the characteristic of the lode, would
not prove detrimental, as the north wall of the north
branch was well defined and regular. The accounts
showed a balance against the mine of 1,1171. 3:. 6d., to
meet which were calls unpaid to the extent of 1,0171.
The silver ore raised and sold since the establishment of
the company in 1845, amounted to 6001., and the tin ore
to 1,8001 The directors in their report left it to the
sleireholders to decide if the works should be continued
or ab_►ndoned. They thought, at all events, a further
call of 2 6d. per share necessary, so that if the machinery
sold well some portion of it could be returned. They
would now have to take into consideration the resolution
passed at the special general meeting held on the 2d of
February last, on the subject of dissolution. After some
discussion, it was agreed that the company should be
wound up, and powers were given to the directors for
that purpose.
Cusroms.—Mr. D. IL Low, senior landing waiter
grf the Port of London, has been appointed by the Com-
missioners landing surveyor at Plymouth, vise Mr. Sag,
removed.
