mine cost for Nov., 1551. ss. 4d.; for December, 1661.
104.91, ; a further instalment to lessees, 1651.; portages,
bankers' commission, &c., 4/. 11s. = 544/. 2s. 2d.—Cash
received, 391/, 10r.; leaving balance due to treasurers,
152/. 12s. 2d. The accounts were passed, and a call of
ss. per share made. The committee of management
were re-elected for the ensuing two months.
At a meeting of the finance committee of Lamherooe
Wheal Maria, on Thursday, Captain Opie was appointed
agent of the mine, at the same salary as the late Captain
Tabb. It was resolved that machinery for stamping
and dressing the tin ores now at surface, and raising
from the 50 and 60 fm. levels engine-shaft, should be
ereeted by contract without delay. The new discovery
of a branch of pure tin, 4 to 5 in. wide, on the champion
lode at surface, was reported by the superintendent to be
worth 50/ per fathom.
At the adjourned meeting of the United Mines, held
at Tavistock, it was stated that every share was taken
up. The works were progressing in a most satisfactory
manner; the shaft was secured to the 40 fm. level, and
the machinery in perfect repair. Accounts were shown
that, from Wheal Anderton, now part of the United
Mines, during the last three years, 169 tons 16 cwt.
2 qrs. 16 lbs. of tin bad been raised, which had realized
6.6421. 10s. 3d. A committee was appointed; Captain
Harper nominated agent; Mr. Square, purser; and Mr.
Matthew Loam, engineer. It was finally resolved that
the mine should be inspected by Captains Samuel Sec-
combe, Robert Dunstan, Richard Williams, James Car-
penter, and J. Lean, who should report thereon, and lay
down a plan for future working.
At the Old Brimpts meeting, held at Totnes, the cap-
tain reported that the stamps were in full operation.
There was upwards of 5004 worth of tin at surface;
and, from the superior quality of the lodes, both in the
eastern and western sett, a great quantity of tin would
be raised, so that the company could look forward to re-
ceiving dividends. According to an assay, made at
Ashburton, the ore was reported to be of 72i per cent..
and its value 60/. per ton. The shareholders expressed
themselves satisfied with the vigilance and economy dis-
played by the management, who bad, in addition to
clearing up the ancient workings, and driving two new
adits, raised 5001. worth of tin, and brought the mine
in course of working by the trivial expenditure of GOO/.
The ground around the lodes is soft and congenial for
tin, which has been found in large quantities, and with
very little expense.

A special meeting of Peter Tavy and Mary Tavy
Consols was held on Tuesday, to confirm an amendment
in one of their bye-laws, which will give the Committee
further power to carry on the workings of the sett with
greater spirit, also preventing the adventurers from at-
tending useless meetings; this arrangement, it appears,
has met with the general approval of those interested in
the adventure. The chairman read the captain's
report and several letters, and pointed out the advantages
expected to be derived from an addition that has
lately accrued to the setts, and a reduction of duties.
Ccsteaning will take place in Coles' land as soon as the
weather will admit, to sink a new shaft a short distance
from the present workings of the Great Wheal Friend-
ship, and it is expected the lode will be cut near the
surface. The chairman and committee were compli-
mented upon the energetic and economical management
pursued in carrying out the workings.
The Imperial Brazilian produce returns from the 2d to
the 22d of December show—from Gongo, 21bs. 10 ozw.
12 dwts., and from Banana!, 61bs. 5 ozs. 17 dwts. -=-
16lbs. 4 ozs. 9 dwts.

The National Brazilian workings are proceeding in a
satisfactory manner, and the lode is looking favourable.
They have 240 tons of stone in store, waiting for the
completion of the stamps' heads. Cuiaba produce, from
Nov. 27 to Dec. 6 was 3 mks. 1 oz. 4 otts. 34 grs.
The Linares agent reports the improvement of the
lode in Wilson's shaft, and the 55 fathom level driving
west from San Anton winze, as still continuing. The
lode in the 45 fin, level, driving east of Shaw's shaft, is
assuming a more regular character, and great expecta-
tions are entertained from a further prosecution of the
31 tm. level: the men are now stopping on tribute at 21
reels per arroba. The other workings continue without
material alteration, but the weekly produce is increasing.
The ore in stock at Linares on the Bth or February was
295 tons; at Baylen, 61; at Seville, 1781; at Malaga.
59; on board ship, 431=5821 tone; besides which 214
tons had been sent for shipment.
Advices have been received from the St. John Del
Rey Mining Association. The produce for November
was 213.821b5. troy. The supply of stone continued
very abundant, and there was ample employment for the
people engaged on the workings. The profit for Oc-
tober was 268/. 139. 10d.; there had been expended for
the railroad, spelling floor, aqueduct, &c., about 2,700r5.,
iron pipes, 2,000r5.; tiles, 409 rs ; cog-wheel, 1,513r5.
The mine would be shortly in good working order.
The Real del Monte Company's affairs are, we under-
stand, nearly brought to a close—a second division of
assets amongst the debentureholders, of 11. per red de-
benture, and 21. upon the outstanding 501. loan of 1827,
being now declared. There will, probably, be a final
dividend of a few shillings more on each debenture.
The produce of the Kongsberg Silver Mines, in Nor-
way, for the month of December, was 2,707 marks 21
ozs. fine silver; in December, 1849, it was 1,627 marks
1 oz. The entire production for the year, ending 31st
of December, 1850, amounted to 17,476 marks 2 oz. fine
silver; in 1849 it was 171861 mks. 1 oz.—showing a de-
ficit on the year 1850 of 384 marks 7 ozs. There are,
however, larger quantities of reserves, and several im-
portant discoveries have been made during the past year.

PROTECTION OF APPRENTICES
AND SERVANTS.

Yesterday a Bill was issued " For the better Pro-
tection of young Persons under the Care and Con-
trol of others as Apprentices or Servants ; and to
enable the Guardians and Overseers of the Poor to
institute and conduct Prosecutions in certain Cases."
The text is as follows :

Whereas it is expedient to make provision for the
better protection of young persons who are under the
care and control of others as apprentices or servants :
Be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most excellent
Majesty, by and with the advice and consent, of the
Lords spiritual and temporal, and Commons, in this
present Parlhiment assembled, and by the authority
of the same,

1. That where the master or mistress of any young
person under the age of eighteen* shall be legally
liable to provide for such young person, as an ap-
prentice or as a servant, necessary food, clothing, or
lodging, and shall wilfully and without lawful excuse
refuse or neglect to provide the same, or where the
master or mistress of any such young person shall un-
lawfully and maliciously assault such young person,—
so that by reason of such refusal or neglect to provide as
aforesaid, or by reason of such assault or assaults, the
life of such young person shall be endangered, or the
health of such young person shall be injured, such
master or mistress shall be guilty of a misdemeanour,
and being convicted thereof shall be liable to be im-
prisoned, with or without hard labour, in the common
gaol or House of Correction, for any term not ex-
ceeding three years.

2. That the costs and expenses of the prosecution
of any such misdemeanour as aforesaid may be
allowed and ordered by the court before which the
indictment shall be tried, in like manner as the costs
of the prosecution in certain cases of misdemeanour
under the Act of the seventh year of the reign of
King George the Fourth, chapter sixty-four, or may
be allowed and ordered by the Court of Queen's
Bench, in case the indictment shall have been re-
moved into that court.

3. That where any young person under the age-
of eighteen shall have been or shall be hired as a
servant from the workhouse of any union or parish,
or shall have been or shall be bound out as an ap-
prentice by the guardians of any union, or the
guardians or overseers of any parish, it shall be
lawful for such guardians or overseers respectively,
and they are hereby required so long as such young
person shall be under the age of eighteen, and shall
be known to them to reside within such union or
parish respectively with the master or mistress by
whom such young person was so taken as a ser-
vant or apprentice, to cause the relieving officer,
or, where there is no relieving officer, then some
othe officer duly authorised for the purpose, to visit
such young person at least four times in every year,
and to report to them, if he shall find reason to be-
lieve that such young person is not supplied with
necessary food, or is subjected to cruel or illegal
treatment in any respect.
4. That where any complaint shall be made of an
offence against this Act, or of any bodily injury in-
flicted upon any poor person under the age of
eighteen years, for which the party committing it is
liable to be indicted, and the justice of the peace be-
fore whom the examination is taken shall certify under
his hand that he deems its necessary for the purpose of
public justice that the prosecution should be conducted
by the guardians of the union or of the parish, or
where there are no guardians by the overseers of the
parish in which the offence shall have been committed,
such guardians or overseers, as the case may be,
shall, upon personal service of such certificate or a
duplicate thereof upon the clerk of such guardians,
or upon any one of such overseers, conduct the prose-
cution, and shall pay the costs reasonably and pro-
perly incurred therein (so far as the same shall not
be allowed to them under any order of the court
trying the indictment, or of the Court of Queen's
Bench), out of the common fund of the union, or
out of the funds in the hands of the guardians or
overseers (as the case may be) of such parish.
5. That in the case of a union or parish under a
board of guardians, the clerk or some other officer of
such union or parish, and in the case of a parish not
under a board of guardians one of the overseers
thereof, may, if the said justice of the peace before
whom the examination is t*ken shall deem it neces-
sary for the purposes of public justice, and shall
certify as hereisbefore-mentioned, be bound over to
prosecute.
_

6. That the words "guardians," "union," "over-
seers," " justice of the peace," " officer," "poor,"
" parish," and "workhouse," used in this Act, shall be
construed in lilie manner as in the Act of the fifth
year of the reiga of King William the Fourth, chapter
seventy-six.

7. That this Act shall extend only to England and
Wales.

• The words in Italics are proposed to be inserted in
Committee.

number. had sunk to 53,070. In 1815 there were 230 Scotch
parishes which provided for the poor by assessment, and
650 by voluntary contributions; in 1850, the former class
had risen to 644, and the latter dwindled to 236.

A 100-GUN SCREW LINE-OP-BATTLE SHIP
A new ship of the line, by name St. Jean d'Acre, has been
cn the " Navy List" for some years, but has not been laid
down. The Admiralty have now determined that instead of
a 90-gun ship. like the Albion, she shall be a powerful two-
decker, to carry 100 guns, and to be propelled by screw ma-
chinery of 65't• horse power. She is ordered to be built at
Devonport.—United Service Gazette.
