coast of Africa.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal )
The important event of the week is the establishment,
on a basis likely to prove pertnan.nt, of a Mining Ex-
change, independent of the Stook Exchange, and to
which the members of the latter body can only have ac-
cess by the ministration of the former. Transactions in
Mining Shares began in this new locality on the 7th
instant, and daily a large amount of business has been
done, comprehending, however, only the superior class
of mines, whether dividend or prospective. A conserva-
tive power, should the objects contemplated by the new
establishment be fully carried out in practice, will now
be exercised over all really valuable mining property, to
the discomfiture of mere sehemes, by whomsoever in-
troduced to public notice. Some brilliant discoveries of
mineral wealth have taken place in the eastern mining
districts, of which full particulars will be gained by an
attentive perusal of our columns. A remarkable in-
stance of rnibin,g success may be stated in the West
Buller Sii•!res, for which, with 10/. only paid, 1,2001. per
share had been offered and refused.
In the metal market, English tin is very quiet. and
foreign greatly depressed. A good business doing in

expect to sample 30 tons..
At the Union Tin Smelting Company's meeting, on
Wednesday, the usual dividend, at the rate of 10 per

At the United Mines meeting, on the 4th instant, it
was resolved that the proposal made by Mr. Michael
Williams, respecting the purchase of shares at the price
of 801. each, should be lett to the decision of each indi-
vidual adventurer. Mr. Richard Taylor reported that
the mines were drained to the 208 fm, level, and work-
ings continued to this dite, without any improvement in
the prospect of the mines.

ST. JAMES'S LITERARY AND
SCIENTIFIC SOCIETY.
A public meeting was held at Willis's Rooms, on
Wednesday evening, for the purpose of promoting the
establishment of an institution under the name of the
St. James's Literary and Scientific Society, which has
already received very influential support.
The Earl of CARLISLE, who occupied the chair, was
received with general applause. He said, I believe I
ought, in the first place, rather to account for
finding myself in this distinguished position,
as I do not make out that I have any very
peculiar title to it. All I can say upon that head, how-
ever, is that I was invited to take it by those whose in-
vitation I looked upon as an encouragement and almost
as a command.—(Cheers.) I feel, however, that I ought
to justify this act, both to you and to myself, and with
that view I must consider what is the nature of the
occasion which brings us together. And first, with re-
gard to the locality in which and for which it is
intended to found a literary institution. I find,
in the papers which have been put out, that
this locality is to comprise the parishes of St. James,
St. George, St. Martin, and St. Ann. I call them
parishes; but in point of extent, of wealth, and of im-
portance, they are, in fact, equivalent, each of them, to
many both ancient and modern capitals. Within their
precincts are the residences of a large proportion of those
who constitute the most wealthy, the most educated, and
the most powerful classes of what we may, without un-
due pretension, call the foremost people of the world—
(C,,eers)—the residences of statesmen and warriors,
whose lives make history; of beauties, who, if we credit
the same history, often make a great deal of underhand
history themselves; or authors, of whom I shall name
only one, because I think you have most wisely
made him president of this institution—Mr. Macaulay.
—(Cheers.) And, indeed, I feel that he ought now to
be:filling the place which I unworthily occupy. The
only thing that is any compensation to his not being
here is the hope that he is more engaged upon that work,
not of acting but writing history, which bids tair to
make his name immortal.—(Cheers.) These parishes
to which I have referred comprise, in fact, a main
portion of the business, the fashion, the govern-
ment, and the empire of this country. They abound
in all the pulses of our vast civilization. They are
filled with every thing which can mini.ter to the com.
for. the use, or the luxury of those who inhabit them ;
with houses more conspicuous perhaps, fur the complete-
ness of their internal arrangements than for their exterior
architecture (lilt. ly to be the case with nations who, as
ourselves, prefer luxurious privacy to outward show)—
with shops whose glittering varieties will, in any sea-
son, furnish in thems. Ives an exhibition get the industry
of all nations—(Cheers)—with club-house, built upon the
scale and with more than all the comforts of palaces.
And this brings me to the point to which I particularly
wish to call your attention. These nib houses, with
their luxuries and their reading rooms, are provided fur
the wealthy and easy classes of society; but we wish to
communicate and extend the same advantages, not to
these who are accommodated in spacious and luxurious
houses, not to those who are surrounded with all
the resources and appliances of wealth, who may
haze any number of newspapers on their breakfast
tables, or may send to the next bookseller or
the next circulating library for any work or publication
they have a fancy to read, but to those who can only pro-
cure these advantages by steady and combined efforts—
advantages which the benefits of wealth make the ex-
clusive enjoyment of others.—(Cheers.) And I would
ask, is there nothing in the character of the population
of these parishes which makes it peculiarly fitting and
appropriate that such aids and appliances should be
afforded them, comprising, as they do, a very
great uumber of young men, some of them engaged in
those respectable and wealthy firms which have a
greater number of persons in their employment than the
feudal establishments of ancient barons, and a quantity
of most ingenious and intelligent artisans and mechanics,
who certainly are not debarred by any want of capacity
from almost any amount of mental cultivation ? Then
are there not peculiar dangers and temptations to which
people who constitute such classes are liable ? Now
I believe, gentlemen, that idleness is one of the most
trying, as well as the most irksome conditions to
which human nature is subject. Ambition, passion,
covetousness may lead to a thousand excesses, to a thou-
sand follies, to a thousand crimes; but, at least, they en-
gross and employ the faculties of the mind and of the
soul. But idleness is like that state of the garnished
house into which, being void of any tenant itself, all
other demons may enter and take up their abode there,
and make the state of that man worse than any of those
under their separate mastery. Now, Ido not want to
prescribe to you—l should be very ill-qualified and little
warranted to do so—what pursuits, what amusements
may be innocently and blamelessly pursued. But, as
to this, I think all must agree with me that there are in
this overt ewirg town many facilities and temptations to
wrong about which there can be no dispute. There are
ale-houses and tavern-orgies, and more refined, perhaps,
but not less dangerous seductions, into which men
may fall, not from a deliberate purpose, not from
any practised depravity, but from the tedium of the
ut!empl.iyed hours, and the void of the unoccupied
mind.—(Cheers.)
A
that which will have a And
direiCt itsentdoernntyhistothetnatowiye taennddetor
interest the mind, and, at least, a possible tendency to
refine and to ennoble it. You will hear the exact details
and the precise plan of operation proposed, if there
shall be good
will and energy hero and in these pa-
rise es sufficient to justify the fermatien of such an
institution. You will hear the proposed details and
plan from those who have taken an active part in
setting on foot this laudable and public-spirited un-
dertaking. It is intended, if preper support shall
be afforded from
without, to procure suitable premises_
a reading-room, where the
best newspapers, reviews, and
other periodical publications will be taken in; a library,
for woks of more hulk and more pretension ; a lee.
tore-room, where lectures upon proper subjects
will be delivered by approved
and
competent
lecturers and as well as this, it is intended
to open cla ses for the different branches of
useful knowledge, such as drawing or chemistry, or
other pursuits which heave a tendency to interest men
and to improve the stock of valuable knowledge. Now,
gentlemen, it has been said by a poet whom I should be
the last to undervalue
. that "a
ous thing." se
stop here to disease, little learning
ould indicate? Is it
--_,PP"sing this to be true, which Ia will nut '
thathat weis shthoeuldcohuarvBee n"o'h
learn-
ing at all? I think that would be a dangerous thing,
but I blow* mad I atu glad to WAY, that it

is an impossible thing. I bzlieve there is no one
class in this country which will be content to
o 0.-e it laid down diet they s, cot have any ti:nq
at ail. I believe there is no class or socet-t- of men who
will put up with rd-ct, *;l*-*
appurtenance of the wealthy and the high-born, of a titled
aristocracy, of privileged places of education; it may dwell
among the leafy bowers and quiet waters of the infant
Isis, but when those waters broaden into the life and
business of the imperial Thames, it must no longer
mix with the expanding stream; it may inhabit pale
cloisters, arid feed the contemplation of robed doctors
and capped students, but it must not come into the cur-
rent of daily life, into oar marts of business, into our
streams of busy concourse. I believe, gentlemen, one
and all of you will put aside this ignorant policy,
and will assert that, as no longer is there any mo-
nopoly of the food of the body, so also no longer
shall there be any monopoly of the food of the mind.
—(Rithusiastic cheers.) It', then, a little learning
is a dangerous thing, and if no learning at all
is happily out of the question, then the only course of
teasibility and of safety before us seems to be, to take
the best means in our power to make that little learning
larger, and to see that the learning which is ignorant of
its own littleness, which is apt to be conceited and
puffed up and presuming, and therefore dangerous, be
taught, by timely and wholesome growth and educa-
tion, to supplement, and to steady, and to protect it-
self. I am sure that I need not remind an audience
so intelligent as this—remembering the class of
persons for whom this institution is proposed to be set
on foot—l need not remind them that not even any
amount of individual study or diligence can succeed in
making them all prodigies of learning or miracles of ge-
nius. If the poet Gray could have called from their turfy
heaps all the rude forefathers of the hamlet, he would not
have expected that they all could have been set down by
him as a village Hampden a mute and inglorious Milton
or a guiltless Cromwell. It wilt be, indeed, a proud dis
tinction for this proposed institution, if it should even
be the means of eliciting such an amount of genius as to
leave an impress on the literature and science of the
country, teach some new truth to philosophy, or add a
new string to its lyre.—(Cheers.) It is the more
limited object of our ambition to atnrd to all—es-
pecially to those whose lives are engrossed with the
drudgery of labour, or distracted with the clatter of this
busy, heaving, steaming life around us—the means of
innocent recreation, of refined employment, of useful
and ennobling instructions.—(Loud cheers.) It is, as I
have already intimated, intended that in this institu-
tion encouragement and facility shall be given for the
ht bit of literary and scientific pursuits. Now, with
very little pre ensiuns to hold forth upon either
science or literature—as to science, I feel I am not en-
titled to say a word; but adverting for a moment
merely to one which perhaps holds the noblest place in
the whole family of sciences—if Sir Henry de la Becht
will excuse me for what lam saying—with reference to
the noble science of astronomy, I cannot help gaming a
very brief extract from a statement, lately taken under
my notice, and which seems to me to express most
forcibly, and in a popular manner, how the ascertained

truths of that sciencv, so far tran,cending worst could
be imagined or guessed at, have now become the

property of multitUdes. This is the extract to which
I allude :—" Our own lunar satellite turas monthly on
its own axis, and revolves simultaneously round the
, earth, and again sweeps with the earth in a vast
, naval circle round the sun, and with the sun itself
careers with the whole stupendous solar system round
, another prodigious stellar centre. Let us take the ex-
treme diameter of our planetary system and try to
form some notion of the distance represented by three
thuussnu millions of miles, and when we have
altogether rattled, let us acknowledge, as
we must, that even this incomprehensible extension into
sp .ce is en inadequate unit of measurement for meeting
the stellar distacces as we see them scattered about on
a fine evening like a careless profusion of gold dust on
the dark purple of the skies." Now by the side of this
transcendent revolution, I feel that human literature
must seem at first sight to pale its pretensions and to
droop its wings. But, as ever atter the con-
templation of the loftiest architecture of the
heavens, or the most brilliant embroidery of the
earth, or the most solemn subli nities of the sea, still
upon the human eye and the human soul the form and
face of human beauty will exercise their moat potent
witchery, so also the promptings of human emotion and
the utterances of human genius will ever strike home
to the heart of man.—(Cheers.) Perhaps some of you
may feel inclined to avail yourselves of the pro.
posed classes of language, and to master for
yourselves the abundant treasures of style, thought,
and fancy which the other nations of Europe have
amassed for themselves. But still, in our own Saxon
language, you will all be able to appropriate to your-
selves, to say nothing of our vigorous and noble prose,
the universal and unparalleled opulence of Shak.pere,
the sacred harmony of Milton, the gentle fancy of
Spenser, the nervous energy of Dryden, the faultless
brilliancy of Pope, the eagle flight of Gray, the tender
flow of Goldsmith, the moral dignity of Cowper—not to
go lower in the list, because controversy may arise
with respect to more contemporary prepossessions.
Such, then, are the mere glimpses and dashes of the pur-
suits, whether scientific or literary, to which we will
often invite you. There are two points in connexion
with this institution which have mainly encouraged
and induced me to support it. Oae is—and if it were
otherwise I feel I must have kept quite clear of it—the
one is, that it lays down no exclusion in respect of
differencesin religious connexion or opinion. The other
is, that Iknow it has engaged the sanction and active sup-
port of a minister of religion so exemplary and judicious
as the rector of the parish of St. James, and his agency
will be a guarantee that it will not be allowed to take
any improper or questionable direction. Now, gentle-
men, having addressed a few words both to science and
to literature, I do not propose to give any to the support
of religion. These lips have no special privilege for so
high a theme. It is assuredly not because I undervalue
its importance, but as I should consider the religion
which will oppose or thwart the growth and diffusion
of science or of literature as traitorous to her
own claims and suicidal to her own existence, so by
watching, guarding, and directing their course, she may
impart to each of them a portion of her own divinity;
and with the fervent hope that your proposed institution
will move steadily forward under the combined influence
of science, liters ure, and religion, I thank you for the
mtention you have given me, and now, I coefilently
leave the subject in your hands.—(The Noble Chairman
resumed his seat amidst the vehement cheers of the
assembly.)

Dr. L;ANKESTER read a report and the rules of the
proposed inbtitution.

the Hon G. Elliot, C.B , will be vacant on the 9fh of
next May; the term of service of tee above gallant
officer will then have expired. Several parties have been
prominently named as successor to Admiral Elliot.
among them Vice-Admirals Sir Charles Malcolm and Sir
Hugh Ptgot, K.C.B. We believe, hOwever, that the for-

CONSOLIDATED COLL-A new description of fuel for
steam purposes, called consolidated coke, has been intro.
duced to the Admiralty, the owners claiming for it su-
perhr properties for generating steam, and maintaining
the necessary heat with less destruction to fire-bars,
&c. The Admiralty have entertained the application of
the projectors, and have ordered the authorities at
Woolwich to report upon the qualities and applicability
• the fu.l.

FLAG LIEUTENANTS.—It is reported that in the event
of Admiral Sir John Ommanney, K.C.8., baking his
fl tg at the main at Devonport, he will nominate the son
of his old friend, Mr. F. P. Warren, as his Flag Lieute-
nant. In that case Lord John flay, the nephew of the
Commodore Superintendent, will become Flag Lieute-
nant to his uncle at Devonport Dockyard.
SURVEYING SERVICE.—The Admiralty have ordered
Commanders Otters and Smith to resume their active
surveying services in the Comet steam•vessel. on the
west coast of Scotland. The Comet, in charge of Mr.
Yule, the master, has latterly been employed under the
orders of Sir J. M'Neile, the Poor•law Commissioner of
Edinburgh.

LIEUTENANT VIGORS OF THE STH Fusiumns.--As
we published the finding and sentence of a court-martial
which tried this officer, for refusing to pay the funeral
expenses of his late wife, leaving it to the officers of the
garrison to raise a subscription with that object, we
think it only due to Lieutenant Vigors to state that it
appears from an authenticated letter, in a Mauritius
paper, that he had good grounds for the refusal. Mrs.
Vigors had, it appears, forsaken the protection of her
husband for that of another officer, with whom she was
living at the time of her death; and whatever wish Lieu-
tenant Vigors might have had to forget his grievances
in the hour of death, and pay those funeral expenses, he
was prevented doing so by the strict injunctions of his
legal adviser, one of the ablest and soundest lawyers
prucfi.ing in the colony."
THE COMMANDER-IN• CHIEF AT BRAZILS.--It is re-
ported that R.ar-Admiral Rey nolds, ,C. 8., the Com-
mander-in-Chief of the South East Coast of America
station, has intimated a desire to be relieved as soon as
convenient to their L irdahips. Numerous candidates
are already in the field for the appointment, and among
them Rear-Admiral Purvis, who some years since com-
manded on that station as Commodore. Rt•ar-Admiral
Reynolds, it is well known, proceeded to the Bravls
from the Cape Station, but will not have had his flag
hoisted for three years until August next.

HORRIBLE ATROCITY.—CARRIC, APRIL 9.—On
Sunday night five fellows forced an entrance into the house
of a man named Nash, of Cast letown. Nash received a day
or two previ, us some money from a son of his, who is in
America, which the thieve, expected to come at. Having
entered the house they placed Nash on his knees, and
threatened him with death if he did not give up the money.
He assured them it was not in the house. Failing in this
the wretches made a fire of s'raw, and placed Mrs. sash over
it, and kept her in that position until burnt in a shocking
manner. A servant.maid got out through a window and
called some neighbours, who went to give assistance, but ere
they arrived the fellows had decamped, without their booty.
Clonmed Chronicle.

CURIOIIB FACT —P is a remarkable ineirbunt that
for tw centuries a Lord Clonbrock has never lived to see
the majority of his heir. His Lordship's eldest son will be
of age in a few months, and the circumstance has be preyed
upon Lord Clonbrock as to throw hiru into his present clan-
gerottS fitate,-4imerich Chronicle.
