SECRETARY (ad interim).
Mr. George Frederick Goodman.
This Company being now completely registered, the Directors
take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a
statement of its progress ant prospects.
It may be confidently asserted that no Company was
and ever brought
before the public with equal prospect of Spn3y successful
results.
The pronmt,assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc-
tors, and the perfect confidence in the, management displayed by
them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure
an enormous dividend within a few months.
Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been
in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors
for carry ing out 1.145 enterprise result* from the experience obtained
by him during that period. The .instructions given to Sir Henry
Hunt ey were, in effsct, that he should make every passible inq
relative to the state of the country, the tenurethe of
several land, thestricts com-
paratiee merit; of the different quartz veins in di
of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors
as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measures as
would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as ble.
Following these instructions, he has securedoses ; for the
but bene
he fit of the
Company, sufficient lands for all milling purp is clearly
of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under-
take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quarts to
be supplied by those who are possessed of mines, and have raised
the quartz. With the assistance matters, gentlemen of great
experience in geology and mining ,he has inspected and
tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass
Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion,
upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and
Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car-
rying on our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree-
ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company,
and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of
quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass Valley and Nevada
Cite, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and
amalgamate the quartz to bed be raised from the minalreeady opened by
them. By means of macninery, he has cru
and amalamate cside-able quantities of the quartz sup-
plied shims from d thisen mine ; and the result of his operations
has been to •satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average
richness, and that the locality ()tiers many important advantages in
the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &c., &c. He has, there-
fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company,
which, in
a few words, amounts to tis : he is to be supplied by them with as
much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing
the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ;
he is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expeth nse, and
F
he geld produced is to be divided
oermqualally between e owners
of the vein and our Company. and legal agreements
for carrying out the above arraueement fairly and honestly, and
without any copartner:4op, have been entered into. Steam-engines
and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day,
with funds sufficient for putting it in motion, have been placed under
the control of Sir Henry Huntley ; and, unless some unexpected
delay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a
return will be made about Christmas next.
For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company,
and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits
of other Companies, the Directors ate desirous of calling attention
to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Com-
pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies
must mainly rely upon reports sent over by persons interested in
selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident
Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only
interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other
Companies generally base the estimate of the -value of
their mine upon calculations founded on exeeriments
upon a few pieces of speciraen quartz, sent over to this country for
the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to
the British public ; we found our calculations upon experiments
tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and
crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our
own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to
incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations
their t vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should
their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their
profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal
ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartzure
as
our machinery capable of crushing, the title to which is as sec
is
as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-centage or
royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the
parties who supply us, tree of expense, with the quartz, being in fact
merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex-
pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the
new companies, unlike this, must be a considerable time before
their arrangements and machinery
is ca be
not actually at wexceed fork
20,0001. An
.
or carrying out
their schemes—this Company alone
The paid-up capital of the Compan willy
almost ertain esimate of the produce of oar machinery can be
formed,c and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently
anticipate bsing able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford
a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve
months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which
we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 1/.
17s. 4d. per cwt., or 37/. Gs. Bd. per ton ; and, as we can crush and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount eo 7461.
13s. 4d., or 373/. 65. Bd. per diem as the share of. his Company.
By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based
upon practical experience, the economy in working expenses must
necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling.
In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the
system row adopted, and lead them to undertake milling operations
of their own, arrangements have been made securing four distinct
sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility far mining pur-
poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has oil the spot Cornish millers who
went,
out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their
services.
The gentlemen wile formed the Provisional Committee of this
Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing
the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of
Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the
Dire :tory was due to those Shareholders who oaf
in fact estab-
lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken
for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special General Meet-
ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January.
In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer their best thanks to the
Shareholders for the uniforM sußport they have received, and they
pledge themselves that the affairs of this Company shall be con-
ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for-
warding the interest of the Shareholders.
The Directore beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly
to the fact that, front the system adopted by this Company, it can-
not be affected by the question now agitated be
the holders of
leases and Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for
the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed
by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arising out of the many points
now raised relative to the tenure of land under leases, had been long
known to and was maturely considered by those having the control
of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in-
duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not
to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful resultsof the prudence
The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve
of the course they have adopted.

AA
A few nights back, in health and spirits prime, M.
I went to rest about my usual time,
Nor did the clock a dozen minutes number,
Before I sank into a peaceful slumb,r.
And while I thus reposed upon my bed,
A sound of music floated retied my head ;
For, understand, although I was asleep,
Some little consciousness f seemed to keep ;
So, when I heard the music, soft and sweet,
I knew the Christmas waits were in the street.
I listened to their strains in various modes,
And f nay thought of Pope's and Dryden's Odes,
In which, by either poet, we are told,
Of what the famed musicians did of old ;
And while I heard the music of the waits,
I pictured harpers at the castle gates,
And many a fond romantic scene arose,
Tilt music steeped me in a deeper doze.
A curious dream then came across my mind,
Original and novel in its kind :
Methought that lIYAM was desired to call
On lather Christmas at his ancient hall;
The object of the visit was not stated,
And nothing in the least was intimated,
Yet HYAM, from his manner, seemed to guess
Some special recrence with regard to dress,
And making up his mind without delay,
He called on Christmas on the appointed day.
The abode of Father Christmas was a pile
Precisely in the old baronial style ;
A noble English mansion did it seem,
And much did it delight me in my dream.
Thick on its lawn the holly bushes grew,
The smiling mistletoe and myrtle, too,
While verdant bays and laurel boughs were Seen
To vary pleasingly the winter green.
11YAII arrived precisely to his time,
And found the "festive father" in his prime ;
His eyes were bright, his cheeks were full of glow,
Just as they were five hundred years an.
" Good morning, sir (said Christmas), how d'ye do "
" Good morning, sir (said HYAII), how are you ?"
And thus the usual compliments were passed,
Till business things were introduced at last.
" I sent for you said Christmas), to enquire
What stock you have of gentlemen's attire ?
I'm rather anxious, Sir, for your reply,
As Christmas time is now so very nigh,

A sumptuous feast is very well, I know.
And glad I am my
subjects find it so
I love the feast, the holly, and the log—
But what are these without a change of ' tog ?'
While we're attending to the inner man,
We ought to mind the outward all we can.
How you, this season, have performed your task ?
And, therefore, Mr. ILYA. ,do I ask,
That what you've done will be approved by me ;
I scarcely have a doubt (continucd he),
But notwithstanding this, I wish to hear
Here Christmas paused—nor need I tell you why,
your extensive sphere ?''
What you've performed in
Ile merely paused, awaiting a reply.
" Father (said RYAN, with respectful bow),
If I wee ever honoured, it is now ;
And I'm prepared, without one ' if or but,'
To answer every question you have put.
The preparations I have made (said HYAM),
Will satisfy the multitudes that try 'em.
All kinds of Christmas dress—designed anew,
At my Establishment are brought to view.
I've winter wrappers, good in make and cloth,
Fit to defy the winter's utmost wrath.
Such over-coats as those which I've in store
Are better than were ever made before.
I've dress (said RYA M), in the various styles,
And first-rate suits for youths and juveniles;
There's not a thing in which I've been remiss
At such a time of holidays as this,
And, sir, (said 11YAal), I would have you know
That all my goods are s ld extremely low.
Economy has ever been my law,
And from this rule I never will withdraw."
" Hear, hear (said Christmas, rising from his chair),
That's famous, Mr. HYAM, I declare.
I wish you much success, nor do I doubt
That thousands will by you be well-rigg'd out.
I'll not omit to recommend your dress

PRO PECT US.
This Railway Is intended to commence near to the Middlesbrough
Station of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, thereby obtaining
communication: with the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, and the
Leeds Northern Railways, and to terminate near the Market Town
of Guisbrough, with two branches to the Cleveland Hills, one ex•
tending to Itoseberry, the other to Hutton Moor and Cod Hill, all
the north Riding of the County of York.

The Main Line is Locomotive throughout, with favourable gra-
dients, save in one instance; there, however, the 'traffic will be a
descending one. The Branches will be worked by means of pelf-
acting Incline
The construetion is of a very easy character, there being no 'Val-
leys or Rivers to cross ; whilst Stone and other Materials are
abundant in the immediate vicinity.
The; Engineers Estimate is liberal, and the result of ample ex-
perience in the District. The Promoters are prepared, with re-
sponsible parties, to execute the Works at the amount thereof. Ar-
rangements :are contemplated with the Stockton and Darlington
Company in order to their working the Line, thereby avoiding all
outlay for rolling Stock.
Residential Injury has been carefully avoided ; and the Promoters
are glad to state that they have been met by the Owners and Occu-
piers of Land in a friendly and encouraging spirit.
The Stockton and Darlington Company has now ninety-two miles
of Railway, extending from the Mineral Districts, in the North-
Western Part of the County of Durham; through the Stanhope,
Froslerley, and Bishopley Lime Districts, and the Auckland Coal
Field, to Darlington ; waere it unites with the York. Newcastle,
and Berwick Railway ; thence to Yarm, where it is intersected by
the Leeds Northern Railway; thence to the Sea-ports of Stockton
and Middlesbrough, terminating at Reclean
The vast quantities of Coal and Coke shipped at Middlesbrough
and Stockton, and conveyed southward for inland consumption, as
well as the rapid increase of the sale of Lime, sufficiently attest the
resources of the country traversed by the Railways with which the
Middlesbrough and Guisbrough Railway will unite, and of which
it may be deemed a continuation.
Since the Cleveland Iron-stone was first opened out, full opportu-
nity has been afforded of testing its quality, which has proved to be
of a first-rate description. Beds; varying in thickess from twelve to
twenty feet, and extending for several miles, exist—with the greatest
facidtiei for working them. It is estimated that 10,000,000 tons of
Iron-stone may be obtained by open quarrying alone.
The whole of this important Mineral District will, by means of the
proposed Undertaking, have ready access to the rising Town of Mid-
dlesbrough, either for Manufacture or Shipment, the distance vary-
ing from seven and a half to nine miles, where smelting Furnaces
have already been erected, and there is every capability for the ex-
tension of the Trade.
The Traffic in this Iron-stone on the adjoining Railways has, since
its commencement in the early part of the present year, reached the
rate of 200,000 tons per annum.
Such resources when brought into contact with Coal and Lime-
stone, supplied at low rates, and peculiarly adapted for smelting or
manufacturing purposes, together with the rapidly increasing use,
consumption, and exportation of Iron, must create a certain and
most extensive demand for the Iron-stone of this locality.*
The Line and Branches have been laid out so as to open the
District fully, and thus to afford to the owners of the more distant,
as well as the nearer royalties, the best opportunities of obtaining
communication by private Branch Railways—and thereby secure
competition at a low rate and consequently to create a large
demand.
In addition to the revenue which will be obtained in respect of
Iron-stone, a large trade may be anticipated in Alum, which abounds
in the District, and which only requires the advantage of Railway,
Communication to render it available to a great extent. A con-
siderable traffic must arise by the introduction of Lime for Agricul-
tural purposes, and of Coals, at much cheaper rates than they can
at present be obtained. Those great facilities as long and earnestly
desired, will be afforded to the agriculturists in the vicinity of the
proposed Lines, and in the rich Valleys beyond, for sending their
Produce to the Market Towns of Stockton, Middlesbrough, and Dar-
lington ; and by means of the Stockton and Darlington, and York,
Newcastle and Berwick Railways, to the North and South parts of
the Kingdom, and of the Leeds Northern Railway to the West
Riding of Yorkshire, and Lancashire ; and it may be fairly expected
that, as in all other cases of Railway development, a considerable
Income will be derived, both from Passengers and In respect of
General Merchandise Traffic.
The estimate of the Engineers of the cost of construction of the
Railway and Branches, including Land aid the requisite sidings to
complete the Line, is •• £72,000 0 0

The following is the Estimate of Revenue :

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states:—lna•
ports must still b 3 reported trifling: the wheat and
beans are principally from Holland. The general busi-
ness of the past week has been too limited to note any
variation in price, but the tendency has been downwards.
The weather has been mild. The supply of wheat from
our own farmers to-day,was moderate, and the condition
tol3rably good. The market was only dull, and last
week's prices with difficulty maintained; in some in-
stances is decline was submitted to. Not much doing
in foreign wheat. Barley continues slow sale without
much being on the market. Beans fully Maintain their
price, but Peas somewhat sympathise with the marked
decline in Mark-lane. The linseed market is well main-
tained, though actual business is not great. Cakes re-
main very firm, and the market clear of foreign. Moro
inquiry for rapeseed, and good green quality of cakes
(for feeding) fetch more money. Cattle bones in good
demand.

LIVERPOoL, DEC. H.—At this day's market there
was u fair attendance of the trade, but, as usual, at this
period of the year, the business done was quite of a re-
tail character, and where sales of wheat were made, a
reduction of Id per 701bs was in most cases submitted
to. Flour of good quality, both sack and barrcl, sup-
ported late rotes. Oats and oatmeal, with a languid de-
mand, were id per 451bs and 3d per load lower. Bar-
ley and pens were without change; but beans were Gd
per quarter dearer. Indian corn met with little atten-
tion, but holders generally refused to submit to any
decline.

LEEDS, DEC. 16 —Thero is a large arrival of wheat
for this day's market; the trade, nevertheless is firm, and
fine dry samples aro held at Friday's rates, and a mock-
rate extent of business is done in this description, but
second sorts sell slowly. Blrley full as dear. Oats and
shelling steady. Beans in great supply, and prices
rather recede, with only a limited sale. No alteration
in other articles.

to the defendants, which they did not appear willing
to agree to, and a t last the plaintiff said he would send
his answer by his manager, Cawke. That person was
also called as a witness, and deposed that he bad gone
by the plaintiff's orders to the defendant Symons,
and
said that Mr. Simmonds had desired hint to say that
whether they purchased the goods or

Mr. Symons replied," it
monds must be guaranteed 100/. a week to which
is for a
short time it will make no difference." This witness
was cross-examined at some length, and admitted
that after this interview ho had regularly continued
to inspect the accounts and ascertain how many per_
sons dined each
_week, and their different ratca of
payment for dinners, and that be or the plaintiff had
accepted weekly cheques on account for sums of 301.,
401., and 50/. An account was sent in by the
plaintiff on the 15th of September, on the footing of
1001. a•weak, and payment demanded several times,
but without effect, as the defendant Symons refused
to pay till the books were returned from an ac-
countant who was then engaged in ascertaining the
amount and accuracy of the various claims. M.
Suer, however, paid the plaintiff 501. on account,
and received an 1 0 U on account, as he refused to
pay that sum as any acknowledgment of the correct-
ness of the bill delivered. A short time after the
plaintiff again insisted on a settlement, and on a re-
fusal, he filed an affidavit in the Court of Bank-
ruptcy, in order to compel immediate payment, or
failing therein, to make the defendants bankrupt.
The plaintiff received altogether 8841. for the ex-
penses and keep :of about 22 persons whom he had em-
ployed, and for the hire of his goods, which, accord-
ing to his own statement, were worth 3.5001., and
sought by this action to recover a further sum of
6801.

Mr. Sergeant Wimutis was proceeding to address
the jury for the defendants, when he was stopped by
one or two of the.jury, and in a few mements the
foreman said they were unanimously of opinion that
there was no verbal agecment. A verdict was ac-
cordingly entered for the defendants.

SSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, Dec. 15.
Saturday being the day fixed for opening the
special commission for the winter assizes in this city,
the Learned Judges (Mr. Justice Maule and Mr.
Baron Platt) arrived here for that purpose. Yes-
terday Mr. Baron Platt attended Divine service at the
Minster, and this morning their Lordships opened the
courts, at twelve o'clock, Mr. Justice Maule taking
his seat in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Platt in
that usually appropriated to civil business.
The calendar is very heavy, there being 182 pri-
soners for trial, four of whom only are town prisoners;
2 are indicted for murder, 8 for manslaughter, 8 for
rape, 14 for cutting and wounding, 3 ;or ehooting
with intent to maim or to murder, 27 for highway
robbery, 5 for arson, 30 for burglary, 5 for unnatural
offences, 4 for forgery, 8 for perjury, 2 for coining,
6 for cattle stealing, and the rest for minor offences.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justic MAULS.)
His Lordship was occupied the chief part of the day
in trying cases prosecuted by the Mint.
Philip Ryan, aged 21, was indicted for having at
Newbrugb, in the North Riding, on the 4th of June
last, burglariously broken and entered the dwelling-
house of Sir George Wombwell, Bart., and stolen
therefrom five plated drinking cups and a ham, the
property of Sir George Wombwell ; and three pairs
of cotton stockings, the property of Fanny Ilill.
liNtlra.pDpe was aarrnebduontrhodaetufgelntihdeeeodn dairyprisoner window at Newbrugh
was broken open on the night of the 41a of June, and
in the morning the articles above mentioned were
found by the servants to have been stolen. Nothing
more was heard of the robbery until the 19th of June,
though a reward of 51. had been offered for informa-
tion regarding it ; but on that day the prisoner went
to a constable, with whom he had some conversation
respecting the reward which had been offered, and
said that be would show the constable where the pro-
perty had been " planted,: and that there was. suffi-
cient to require a horse and cart to take it away. He
accordingly did show where the property was, and
the four plated cups were taken from the roof of an
outhouse, the ham being found amongst some straw
in a stable. The constable having asked the prisoner
if he could find out the parties who committed the
burglary, and where they lived, they separated ; but
a week afterwards he took the prisoner into custody
on a ohm* of having committed the burglary, as a

e to tt e
In his defence the prisoner denied that ho had been
a participator in the burglary, but asserted that he
came to a knowledge of where the property was
hidden by having met three men who had it in their
possession, who caked him to share the spoil, which
he refused to do, but he accompanied them, and saw
where they deposited it ; and then, when the reward
was offered, he went and told the constable what he
knew concerning the matter.
His LORDSHIP, in summing up, told the jury it
was their duty to acquit the prisoner if the evidence
was not, in their opinion, conclusive. The defence
which he set up was a singular one; but, if innocent,
it showed that he had acted in a consistent manner,
and as an innocent man would do.
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.
NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr.BaronPLATT.)
Samuel Cooper, aged 29, was charged with baying
at the last winter assizes, held at York, committed
wilful and corrupt perjury.
Mr. Pickering and Mr. Hardy prosecuted ; Mr.
Overend defended the prisoner.
It appeared that at the last winter assizes a man
named Crabtree was tried for stealing some wool tops;
and the case for the prosecution was endeavoured to
be proved by Joseph Smith, the prosecutor of the
present indictment. He stated that he went to Crab-
tree's bouse on the night of the 25th of September,
1850, and that in going up stairs into a top room, for
the purpose of getting some wool combs which were
his property, he saw some wool tops., lying in a corner
of the room below; of this he gave information to an
officer appointed under the Worsted Act, named
Cheeseborough, who asked Smith to watch Crab-
tree's house, which he accordingly did, and he swore
at Crabtree's trial that at about two o'clock in the
morning he saw the prisoner Cooper go into Crab-
, tree's house, having a bundle, which wasabout the
size which a few wool tops would be. That in a
few minutes Crabtree came to the door, and looked
out to see if any one was by, and then Cooper
came out without any bundle. In defence of Crab-
tree, the prisoner Cooper was put into the witness
box, and swore that he never went to Crabtree's
house, as asserted by Smith, on the night of the 25th
Sept. at all. Upon this evidence being adduced the jury
did not believe Smith, but considered that Cooper was
speaking the truth, and consequently acquitted Crab-
tree, and at the late spring assizes, Smith, the present
prosecutor, was indicted for perjury, and acquitted.
The prisoner, Samuel Cooper, was now tried for the
offence, and it was proved that he had, as Joseph
Smith had sworn at the trial of Crabtree, been at
Crabtree's house on the 25th of September, 1850, in
addition to which the prisoner had said to Joseph
Smith's wife, "I would not have sworn falsely against
your Joe, if thou hadst not said I stole the wool tops."
To which Smith's wife replied, " Thou didst that,
then, and thou knowest thou did."

Mr. OVERBND addressed the jury for the prisoner.
Mr. PICKERING having replied,
His LORDSHIP summed up, and
The jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty.
His LORDSHIP, after enlarging on the enormity of
the crime of perjury, sentenced the prisoner to be
transported for seven years.
