MINERAL WEALTH OF SOUTH
AUSTRALIA.
Intelligence to so recent a date as the 7th of October
has been received from Adelaide. by the overland mail.
A special survey of 20,000 acres has been secured by
the combined efforts of a number of the colonists, who
have paid 20,0001., in terms of the last Act, for regu-
lating the sales of land in the Australian colonies. By
this purchase a district of that extent has been ob-
tained, singularly rich in copper ore.
We are particularly pleased that the enterprising co-
mist., whose exemplary conduct we have had frequent
occasion to commend, have secured this rich prize. It
would have been a great pity if they had allowed it to
slip through their fingers, even although it had been
picked up by our friends, the Anstralian Mining Com-
pany. There is, we believe, enough for them in re-
serve; but they must seek it out, and must not grudge
those who have " borne the burden and heat of the day,"
enjoying the benefit of their own discoveries.
The purchase is very satisfactory, too, in another
respect. It would never have taken place if the Gover-
nor had made any reserve of the minerals. By the terms
of the Act he was authorised, in the case of special sur-
veys of 20,000 acres, to impose " such terms and condi-
tions as to him shall seem meet." We know little more
than the fact of the purchase having been made, the
money paid, and lodged by the Governor in the banks ;
but we have every reason to believe that the price was
twenty shillings per acre, and that certainly the abso-
lute freehold of the property has been obtained.
The value of the purchase cannot be estimated. We
have seen a very interesting report, from a scientific
gentleman, who accompanied thither some friends .who
intended to take an interest in the special survey, from
which we extract the following account, which might be
supposed to be exaggerated, but which, on the contrary,
those who knew the writer rely on as a faithful and un-
questionable account of what he actually saw :
" INDICATIONS OF COPPER ORE.—Having walked over
tae • flcetz' formation, we approached a hill which is al-
most detached from the main range, and, ascending it
from its south-west base, we quickly found ourselves
travelling over the older series of rocks, where quartz
and greenstone, with fragments of imperfect perphyry,
have been thrust up boldly through the old clay-slate ;
and there we saw, at almost every step, strong indica-
tions of the presence of rich copper lodes.
" These indications at first appeared to us in the shape
of spar, containing crystals of the azure-blue carbonate
of copper ; and, as we ascended higher up the hill, we
found numerous fragments of grey and green sulphuret
of copper attached to quartz and greenstone ; ascending
still higher, we found a continuous outcrop of grey sul-
phuret of copper exhibited on the surface, averaging
about eighteen feet in breadth, and extending over the
brow of the hill, and down again to the south-eastern
base or gully, more than a mile in length.
" From this gully another hill arose, which was not so
much detached as the first one we inspected, but rather
appeared to be a spur from the main range ; and just at
the point of jnnction, where the above-mentioned exten-
sive outcrop of grey sulphuret of copper disappeared in
the gully, we saw a broad and beautiful display of azure-
blue carbonate of copper, intermixed with quartz, crop-
ping out through the surfacs, and traceable for upwards
of two hundred paces, exposing an average breadth of
about fifteen feet.
" At this place we opened the ground about three or
four feet, and found the most favourable indications of a
large and regular lode being near at hand—abundance
of gossim' presented itself, and masses of spar, con-
taining highly crystalline carbonate of copper, were fre-
quently encountered.
" We then proceeded higher up the hill, and found,
at different elevations, three other distinct and well-
defined traces of ore : indeed the hills appeared to be
full of it I—almost every stone we picked up betrayed
either directly or inferentially the presence of rich copper
lodes. A fragment, struck off at random from the corner
of a large quartz boulder, exhibited no less than three
varieties of ore (the grey sulphuret, the blue carbonate,
and the copper pyrites) ; and we could scarcely move a
step without observing some kind of mineralogical evi-
dence indicating the proximity of metalliferous veins."
We are aware that in this country it is considered an
unfavourable symptom when metallic lodes crop out on
the surface of the ground ; but in South Australia it
is otherwise. Short as has been the experience of the
colonists in mining operations, it has been sufficient
to show that this rule of judging does not
apply to the minerals in that country. The
party having visited the Kapunda mines on their
return to Adelaide, the same writer expressly states—
" At the Kapunda mines, where the outcrop of copper
ore was at first very apparent on the surface, as usual in
this country, the ground has already been opened to the
depth of fifteen fathoms, and the lodes have been found
not only to increase in size and regularity, as they go
deeper underground, but also to improve in richness and
value, according to their depth." As there is at one
place a continuous outcrop of metal, extending more
than a mile in length, and averaging about eighteen feet
in breadth ; and as on the termination of that outcrop
another is found, traceable for upwards of two hundred
paces, exposing an average breadth of about fifteen feet;
if these, too, like those at Kapunda, shall improve in
richness and value, according to their depth, who can
estimate the value of that purchase?
At the time of the framing of the Act sth and 6th
Vice. cap. 36, for regulating the sale of waste land
belonging to the Crown in the Australian colonies, we
believe that no man expected that the clause relative to
" blocks of unsurveyed land comprising 20,000 acres,"
would ever come into operation; it was regarded as
providing for a contingency, merely possible, but in the
highest degree improbable ; yet it has already been
twice acted on, and measures, we understand, are in
progress for rendering it available a third time—another
company being in the course of formation for the pur-
pose of securing a special survey in some other rich
mineral district in South Australia. They must quicken
their motions.

GUERNSEY.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Through the medium of your journal, I hope to
offer a more faithful view than the local papers afford of
the events which f:,r the last few years have filled the
minds of Guernseymen, the columns of their Star, and
the pockets of its proprietor.
W hen Major- General Napier first arrived in the
island be was to govern, the inhabitants of Guernsey
deemed their consequence increased by the appointment
of so distinguished an officer, and, misinterpreting his
courtesy for weakness, each nobody sought to be his
particular friend, and sole adviser. But they soon found
that he was not to be made a tool of, as former
governors had been; his nature could not bend itself to
party squabbles or petty intrigues, nor would his keen
sense of right and wrong allow him, like some of his pre-
decessors to wink at iniquity or permit crime to escape
" unw hipped of justice.' Like more than one royal
martyr, he has suffered not for his own, but for the mis-
deeds of others.
One of his first " misdemeanours" in the eyes of the
islanders was his detection of the injustice manifested
in the sentences awarded by the Royal Court.* For in-
stance, some soldiers for petty offences, and an English
lad for breaking a few lamps, were adjudged to punish-
ments much more severe than was inflicted on a member
'of their own bar, a Guernsey man, for a deliberate and
almost successful attempt at murdering an Englishman.
One of thepoldiers, who went into prison a healthy man,
died within a few weeks of his release. It would be
endless to detail all the acts of which the governor has
had to complain, or to complain of the falsification of
every circumstance which has characterised the whole of
the island press; suffice it to say, Major-General Napier
has been the mark for gross and incessant insult. Never
was a lion so brayed at. With much possession of
loyalty the chief delight of Guernseymen is to insult the
representative of royalty, and to question the authority
of the British Government.
The abuses which they call their laws, and to which
they cling with great pertinacity, are called as the fancy
of each jurat may suggest, from a wide field of obsolete
Norman customs; and, as justice is, they are aware, typi-
fied by a female, they substitute an old woman with
spectacles for the blindfolded goddess. Guernseymen
are proverbially under female control from their cradles
to their graves, and the mothers, aunts, cousins, generally
furnish the jurat with their opinion ;and advice before

Mrs.teCsauod
see frequent details of " military outrages " in our
malignant Star, profitable no doubt to the editor—never-
theless, a cowardly outrage of which a Guernseyman was
the hero, received not one syllable of notice, although
it is the constant custom to report the proceedings in
criminal trials most minutely. It is to be presumed,
therefore, that a Guernseyman can do no wrong, or that
no Guernseyman's wrong-doings can find a place in the
leading newspaper.
The facts, nevertheless, are as follows :—an English
lady, accompanied by her little daughter, driving her-
self in a pony phaeton, was met on the high road by a
Guernseyman, who wantonly and maliciously red a
impulse of alarm had subsided, the English lady, being a
followed the
musket over the pony's head. After the first natural
person of more than common courage,
Gurnseyman, in order to identify him ; finding himself
thus courageously pursued, he threatened to fire at her,
instead of over the horse's head. Fortunately the fellow
was identified. The lady was, nevertheless besought by
her Guernsey connexions not to pr,,secute; but the
matter was too notorious to be hushed up.
The criminal was tried, and on overwhelming evidence,
convicted, when lo ! the chivalrous sentence of the
Guernsey court was two week's imprisonment, which to
the delinquent was a mere farce. Now, had this outrage
been committed by a man in a red coat, by birth Eng-
lish, Irish, or Scotch, Guernsey would have rang with
the atrocity, and myriads of " Stars" would have wan-
dered out of their orbits to enlighten other worlds.
How the proprietor is rewarded for his silence remains a
mystery, which I leave to the wisdom of the jurats to
solve.

When the Reform Bill extended the Elective Fran-
chise in; Scotland, it provided, that the electors of any
city, burgh, or town, were to be the " true Owners,"
or occupants (see sec. XL and throughout,) of premi-
ses of the yearly value of 101. or upwards ; and, ac-
cordingly, none but those who, bona fide, held property,
either as owners or occupants, in the city, burgh, or
town, were to be registered as electors. Of late years,
however, in order to serve political purposes, a system
has sprung up in many other burghs of Scotland, as well
as our own, which has for its aim, the fabricating or
manufacturing of votes in a fictitious way, and not in
compliance with the plain and honest meaning of the
Reform Bill, which specifies that " true owners or occu-
pants," are alone to be registered.
It may be necessary to point out in this address the
way which these fictitious votes are manufactured:—A
proprietor of a house, or other property in the burgh,
willing to serve a political purpose, divides his property
into lots, each of the value of 101. yearly rent; he makes
over each lot to a person who will serve his political end;
he gives him a disposition to the 101. lot; takes his bill
for the pretended value of it; but the voter is never in-
feft in the property, nor is the disposition, in general,
delivered up to the party in whose favour it is made. It
is, therefore, quite apparent that this system is not in
accordance with the true spirit and honest meaning
of the Reform Bill, as by means of the illusory
votes thus fabricated, it has already been employed to
swamp the votes of the real or bona fide constituency.
In the burgh of Haddington a considerable number of such
votes exist, which have been frequently exercised at the
municipal elections, to the prejudice, loss, and detri-
ment of the bona fide voters ; and in course of time, the
evil may be so much i!icreased, that the Parlia-
mentary, as well as Municipal influence of burghs, may
he s'lely vested, not in the resident and true voters, but
in parties altogether strangers to the burgh, and who can
have no real or immediate interest in it at all.
Connected with this system, attention is particularly
requested to the nature of tke oath, which the Reform
Bill allows to be administered to voters, suspected of
holding fictitious votes. The oath is as follows :—I,
A. 8., do solemnly swear, that I am the individual de-
scribed in the register for as A. 8.,
of , that I am still the proprietor (or occupant,)
of the property for which I am so registered, and hold
the same for my own benefit, and not in trust for, or at
the pleasure of any other person, and that I have not
already voted at this election.
It may be said in justification of these fictitious votes,
that they have been placed on the roll by the registering
sheriff, and hence are legal votes, and this may be the
way in which the holders of them soothe their consci-
ences, in taking the oath, but it was just because the
Legislature foresaw that legal votes might be made,
which yet ought to be excluded, that it has appealed to
the moral and religious feelings of the voter, by interpos-
ing an oath ; for it must be evident, that an oath would
not have been resorted to, had it been possible by
the force of law to prevent such practices. If, then,
the oath ought to have been taken in the plain
sense in which it was enacted, and without any men-
tal reservation, equivocation, or explanation, inconsistent
with the purpose of its enactment, it is earnestly sug-
gested to all to whom the oath may be put, that they
reconsider the grounds on which they are satisfied, they
can, with a clear conscienae, take the burden upon them-
selves of answering as before God, and that, in their
case, the evident intention of the Legislature in im-
posing the oath, has been complied with. In the inde-
cency and irreverence with which the oath has been
often taken—its solemnity, as the most sacred assevera-
tion a man can make, is entirely broken and disregarded;
and a wholesale deterioration of public morals, as well
as much moral guilt, is the natural and necessary conse-
quence of such a system.
The Town Council of Haddington, therefore, feel it
to be their duty to impress on every individual elector of
this burgh, the necessity of lending a helping hand to
prevent, if possible, the further increase of such a perni-
cious system, alike discreditable to those who are the
means of making them. It is the intention of the coun-
cil to correspond with the other burgs of Scotland, in
order to obtain their co-operation, in an application to
Parliament, for a remedial measure ; and to request
them to bring the subject particularly under the consi-
deration, both of their representatives, and of their con-
stituencies. In the meantime, he wever, much may be
done by each individual elector, condemning the system
as mush as possible, and bringing it, by the force of
public feeling, into just and merited unpopularity and
odium. WM. DODS, Provost.
The above are the resolutions and address of the
Town Council of Haddington on the subject of ficti-
tious votes in the burgh. We have only to mention
tion that the Council is composed of Conservatives as
well as Whigs, and that the resolutions and address
were unanimous adopted. Several fictitious voters are
reported, before the issuing of this address, to have re-
nounced their claims, and we should think that those
who hold them after this •' expose" by foe and friend,
are destitute alike of intellectual and moral perception,
and totally void of self-respect.

The Emperor of Russia arrived at St. Petersburgh on
the 14th inst.

Died, on Saturday morning last, on St. David's-hill,
Exeter, Miss Catherine Mary Moore, a very eccentric
old lady, who, for a great number of years until very
lately, had lived in great seclusion. Regarding the last
moments of the deceased a professional gentleman has
sent us the following particulars:—" About one o'clock
in the morning she sent for a solictor to make her will.
She was found in a state of great debility, but gave her
instructions very clearly. In these she had excluded her
relatives—giving 2,0001. to two children of a friend, a
dwelling-house to another, with the residue to a lady
with whom she had for some short time past been on
terms of intimacy. The solicitor asked her if she in-
tended wholly to exclude her nephews and nieces, and
she replied in the affirmative. The solicitor declined
making the will without the attestation of the medical
gentleman who had attended her, and who was sent for.
By the time the instructions were given, one of her
nephews came to her house and into her bed-room; the
old lady expressed great aversion to this gentleman, di-
rected a policoman to be called: she became highly ex-
cited, gave a violent shriek, and expired."
From the Luminary we copy also their statement of
this very extraordinary lady :—" The deceased was a
member of a most respectable family, of long standing in.
the county, and formerly settled at Cadeleigh Court.
She was most eccentric in her dress and manners, and
was better known by her eccentricities than by any
other point of her character. She had a sister who was
a great invalid, and who died about three years ago..
For many years the two lived together, in the same
house upon St. David's Hill, without any servant or
attendant of any kind. The sister who first died was
not seen out of doors for many years before her decease,
moreoease,
and the one whose death we are now recording,
hasethenecessary
n
frequently than was necessary t opure
reputed
wealthy,
supplies of the house. Though
always
they suffered the house in which they lived to fall into a
nd the front
most ruinous and dkilaptdated state, ashutters
ept eloaed, so that the house, to
were invariably
the passers by, had all the appearance of being unin-
habited. On the death of the sister, Miss Catherine
Moore hired a person to assist her in the house, who was
in the habit of coming in the morning and leaving again
at night. Within a comparatively recent
eriodhe r
habits have become much more expensive than they had
ever been before. Costly plate, and articles of dress
have been purchased in, apparently, the most reckless
way ; and she has been dashing about at races and con-
certs, and other public places ; her attire, at whatever
cost procured, always maintaining its eccentricity of ap-
pearance. bier last illness was of short duration, for she
had kept her bed only a very few days. Her property
is understood to be large, and as she is believed to have
died intestate, it will be divided among her relations,
none of whom are rich. There is a story, well authen-
ticated, about a will that was made but not executed,
by which far the larger portion of her wealth would
have devolved upon a lady who has manifested for soma
time past the most anxious solicitude for her, and he.g
been most assiduous in her endeavours to cheer her for-
lorn condition. The lady we mean was the sneaessful
party in a will cause of some consequence, not long
since decided in the Ecclesiastical Court d the Diocese.
The scene as rumour points it—the (lying woman, with
difficulty supported in her bed—the lawyer with the will,
written, but not executed—the "intended legatee keeping
guard over the door—the entrance of the nephew, a
Naval Lieutenant, in MI uniform—and:finally, the un-
happy possessor of tho:: coveted inheritance yielding up
her spirit, in tb'e midst of the uproar around her—
must have 13'am one of intense and most painful excite-
ment."

PONTEFRACT.—It is strongly reported in Pontefract,
and we hope it is true, that John Gully, Esq., is to oppose
the two monopolist Members for the borough of Pontefract,
at the next general election, on free-trade principles. There
is not the slightest doubt that the worthy gentleman would
be elected by a large majority.—Leeds Times.
RUNNING MaTcH.—There was a tolerable sprinkling
of company on Tuesday afternoon at Acton Bottom, to wit-
ness the 1,000 yards race between Mathews, of Birmingham,
and Fro3t, of Llolloway, filr 10/. aside: Mathews, on the
signal being given, jumped off with the lead, kept it, and won
by about fifteen yards, doing the distance in two minutes
and 27 seconds.
CAUTION.—RISCA CATASTROPHE —We have been
informed that several idle fellows are already travelling in
parts of this county and Glamorganahire, stating that they
are persons who had escaped from the colliery, where the
explosion had taken place, merely with their lives, but
being sorely hurt. Now, whoever is attempting, or will
attempt, such an imposition on the humane, may be safely
considered as impostors, for, it is officially communicated to
us, that as long as any persons are sufferers from this cala-
mity, and conduct themselves well, so long will the pro-
prietors provide for their wants.—Monmouthshire Merlin.
DEATH OF RICHARD LATHAM, ESQ., F.L.S.—This
gentleman, who was a life governor of Christ's and. St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospitals, a life subscriber to St. Ann's Schools,
life subscriber to the Licensed Victuallers' School and
Asylum, Fellow of the Linnean Society, and for upwards of
a quarter of a century acting partner in the eminent brewery
of Sir Henry Meux and Co., died on Saturday morning, in the
79th year of his age, at his residence, Bayswater Villa,
Bayswater, after an illness of a few days. Mr. Latham re-
ceived the rudiments of his education in Christ's Hospital,
and in grateful recollection of the boon, the first 4001. he
saved by industry and frugality he devoted to the uses of
that noble institution. To employ his own emphatic words
—"From that happy moment he prospered." He afterwards
became wealthy, entertained most hospitably, and in his
leisure hours penetrated deeply into the scientific recesses of
chemistry, botany, geology, and ornithology. He was a
philanthropist, and sustained that high character so nobly as
to devote nearly the whole of his long and useful life to the
comfort, happiness, and worldly improvement of his fellow-
creatures, without reference to grade or station : and his gra' t
eturn " good for evil. '

of mine related to me a few days ago that, having asked an
emancipated black bow he liked his liberty, " I know no one

this he meant to say that Mahomed procured his happiness
in the next world, and the English Consul in this.--Digka

of this Committee that such

Estimates be accompanied by a comparailye statement of the re-
ceipts and expenditure, made up to the close a the year previous to
that in which the Estimates are prepared.
4. Resolved,—That is the opinion of this Committee that Such Es
timates, as regards the Colonial Receipts, shall represent the gross
revenues under their several and distinct heads.
5. Resolved,•=That it is the opinion of this Committee that as
regards the Colonial Expenditure, the different charges, including the
barges of collecting the revenue, be classed separately under their
fferent heads, and that the same order of arrangement be univer-
lly adopted.
6. Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the
bald charges for salaries and other personal services be kept distinct
from all other charges.
7. Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this Committee that in case
of extraordinary or unanticipated expenditure, a Supplementary Es-
timate, in the same form as the Yearly Estimate, be prepared in the
colony, and forwarded without delay to the Colonial-office.
8. Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this Committee that linme-
Matey after the local examination in each colony of the annual
account has been completed, a comparative statement of the esti-
mated and actual receipts and disbursements of the year should be
prepared by the auditors or other officers by whom the accounts
are examined, showing under each head of revenue an' expenditure
any difference that may have occurred between the estimated and
actual receipts and disbursements of the year, and explaining the
cause of any such differences.
9. Resolvel,—That it is the opinion of this Committee that as all
the evidence taken before the Committee proves the superiority of
the double-entry system of book-keeping,—its success wherever in-
troduced into the public departments, and its general adaptation to
the public service, it is expedient that the said system be adopted
for keeping the accounts of Colonial Revenue and Expenditure.
10. Resolved,—That it is the opinion of this Committee that a cash
book, journal, and ledger be kept in all the colonies, and that the
ledger distinctly represent the various heads of receipt and expendi-
ttue, as exhibited in the Estimates.
11. Resolved,--That it is the opinion of this Committee that with
a View to the prompt examination of the Colonial Accounts, in all
cases where a local auditor has not been appointed, provision should
be made far a speedy and efficient local examination of the Accounts;
and the auditor or other officer to whom • such local examination is
entrusted should be ammowred at any and all reasonable times to

COAL.—In consequence of the advance in wages, and
the increasing demand for labour in the mining districts, a
general rise in the price of stone coal and culm has taken
place in this and the adjoining neighbourhoods. The ad-
vance was agreed upon at a meeting of coal owners held a
short time since. Monmouthshire Merlin.
BARBADOES CoAL.—The following analysis of the
bituminous coal found in various parts of the island of Bar-
badoes, has been made by Mr. Herapath, of Bristol :
" The specimen of coal sent me for analysis contains, in 100
parts, as follows :
Bitumen, resolvable by heat into tar and gas 61.6
Coke
Ashes .................. 1.5
none
Sulphur

100
The large proportion of bitumen, in comparison to the coke
or carbon, will prevent this coal from being used as a com-
mon fuel, unless some means are taken to remedy the incon-
venience; it should he mixed with some substance more
fixed in the fire, and consequently of longer endurance in
the heat. Hard charcoal, more refractory coal, and even
perhaps earthly substances, would be beneficial. If
it could thus be made to give a more solid heat, there
is nothing to prevent its being made use of gene-
rally, as the ashes are in very small proportion, and it
contains no sulphur, which is very injurious in several
manufactures. I should think it could advantageously be
employed in the production of gas, of which it would furnish
a large quantity, and of a very rich quality, even exceeding
that of the cannel coal, the best for that purpose hitherto
known. It is useless for me to give the number of thousand
cubic feet to be obtained from a ton, as the quantity and

STORT.—The Journal de Maine et Loire
of the 18th inst. relates the following tale, which may be
true, but has certainly the air of invention :—" Two days
ago a young milkwoman, of the environs of La Baumettee,
newly married, was carrying the produce of her dairy to the
market of Angers, when she found on her way a black cew
fastened to a tree, and at a safe distance lay under an-
other tree a large bundle. Her curiosity was first attracted
to the latter, which she found to contain a beautiful baby-
girl, wrapped in fine linen and warm flannels. On further
examination she discovered a purse; c..ntaining twenty-five
napoleons and an Imonymons letter intimating that the mother
of the child was driven by powerful consideration to part
with it for several years; that the 500 f, were for the per-
son who would humanely supply her place, and the black
cow was to afford the child milk ; adding, that every year
the foster-mother should receive an ample sum for the
maintenance and education of the child, until circumstances
permitted its natural parent to resume the charge. The
young Milkwomuu accepted the trust thus reposed in
her, and Instead of proceeding to the market, hastene4 hOgle

evening of his leaving Exeter to join his ship, arrived on
