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 and prospects.
It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought
before the public with equal prospect of speedy and successful
results.
The prompt 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 carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained
by him during that period. The instructions given. to Sir Henry
Hunt ey.were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry
relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com-
parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts
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 possible.
Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of the
Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly,
of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under-
take mining operations, but to crush and amalgamate quartz to
be supplied by those who are possess° I of mines, and have raised
the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great
experience in geology and mining matters, 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, distant about three miles from Grass Valley and Nevada
Cite, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and
amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mina opened by
them. By means of machinery, he has already cru
and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup-
plied him from this 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 offers 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 this: 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 expense, and
he gdd produced is to be divided equally between the owners
of the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements
for carrying out the above arramiement fairly and honestly, and
without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines
and machinery estimated to crush about thirty tons of quartz a day,
with fends 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 are 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 experiments
upon a few pieces of specimen 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 miniug operations
upon their 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 quartz as
our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure
as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-tentage or
royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the
parties who supply us, free 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 can be ready for carrying out
their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work.
The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,0001. An
almost certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be
formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently
anticipate being 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/.
17e. 4d. per cwt., or 371. 6s. Sd. per ton; and, as we can crush and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461.
139. 4d., or 3731. s. Sd. per diem as the share of this 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 inducs the Directors to alter the
system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations
of their own, arrangements have teen made securing four distinct
sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur-
poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who
went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their

AMERICAN NEWS.

[A summary of the following appeared in our
paper of yesterday :—]
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, DEC. 29.
By the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship America,
Shannon commander, we have received advices from
New York to the 17th instant. She has 1,121,579
dollars io specie on freight.
The America sailed from New York at 1.10 r.m.
on the 17thlinstant, with a strong breeze from the west-
north-west. She made Cape Clear at midnight on
the 27th; at eight A M. yesterday, off Waterford, she
passed the Royal Mail steam-ship Cambria, for Bos ton ;
and saluted the Rock Lighthouse shortly before two
o'clock this morning, having made the run in 11 days
8 hours mean time.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, Stone, with
the mails from Liverpool of the 30th ult., arrived at
Boston on the 13th inst.
The United States' screw steam-ship Pioneer,
Eldridge, commander, which sailed from Liverpool on
the 22d ult., arrived at New York on the 13th inst.
The Christiana treason ;trial, for the rescue of the
fugitive slaves, in which the owner was killed, has
ended in the acquittal of Hanway, and the withdrawal
of all the other indictments.
The Forrest divorce case was still proceeding, and
still likely to occupy several days. Mr. Forrest
himself had been examined.
Mr. G. V. Brooke, the actor, had made a tolerably
successful debiit at the Broadway Theatre, as Othello.
An awful domestic tragedy occurred near St.
John, N. 8., on the 7th instant. A crazy man, after
calling his family to prayer, attacked and killed his
wife, two children, and an aunt, and very dangerously
injured four other persons.
The principal subjects of interest in Congress had
been the debates on the reception of Kossuth and on
the Compromise Acts.
The proceedings of Kossuth continue to occupy
the columns of the New York papers to the
exclusion of other matter. The greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed, and contributions of money in
aid of the Hungarian cause, as represented by
Kossuth, were freely offered. The New YorA
Herald gives the following brief sketch of the princi-
pal doings for the week ending on the 16th inst.
The length to which the speeches extend prevents, us
from giving them in full :
" Kossuth's speech on Thursday at the metropo.
litan banquet, is by far the greatest he has made since
he came to this country, and the greatest he ever
made in the English language. Not only does he
completely vindicate himself: and his country's cause
for the past, but he clearly develops his policy for the
future. The prejudices and misapprehension which
bad been excited by Austrian guile, and the advocates
of civil and religious despotism all over the world,
have disappeared before his unvarnished tale,'
like mist before the morning sun. He makes out a
most triumphant case for Hungary. The banquet of
the New York city press to Kossuth, at the Astor
House, on Monday night, was in some points an
elegant, and in others a very curious affair. The
dinner was excellent. The admission of the ladiei to
hear the speech of Kossuth was an excellent feature;
for without them the assemblage of the tall and
wise, and reverend and juvenile heads' of the corps
editorial and reportorial would have exhibited rather
a dry gathering. But the speech of Kossuth is ex-
ceedingly interesting. As for the rest it was exceed-
ingly stupid and unintellectual. The whole affair
appears to have been got up for the spe-
cial glorification of the Tribune and Times. We
learn, on undoubted authority; that a very important
passage which Kossuth intended to deliver in his
speech, and which was actually in the manuscript
which he read, was suppressed, on second considera-
tions, from motives of delicacy to Colonel Webb, who
was one of the hosts, though he did not come to en-
tertain his guest. The passage seriously implicated
the ex-Charge to Austria, and will probably soon be
given to the public by Kossuth in another shape.
When the great exile was in Kutayah he received a
copy of an article from Vienna, having been taken by
a friend from the very bureau of the Cabinet, and he
was informed this article would afterwards appear in
a New York paper. In a few weeks it will appear.
This is a serious affair, and it is due to the cause
of Kossuth to give the matter to the public in his
own words. The presentation of Kossuth to
the First Division of the New York State Militia,
at Castle Garden, last night, was a magnificent
affair. The uniforms of the various companies showed
to the greatest advantage, and the whole arrangement,
so far as the gorgeousness of spectacle is concerned,
has not probably been hitherto surpassed on this con-
tinent. The speech of the Magyar, in reply to
General Sandford, as was anticipated, was patriotic in
the extreme, and met with torrents of applause. It is
on occasions of this kind that the great Hungarian
evidently feels most at home—he sees around him the

The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this
Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing
the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very largo body of
Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the
Dire ;tory was due to those Shareholders who have 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 support 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 Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly
to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can-
not be affected by the question now agitated between 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

to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful results.

of the course they have adopted.

AA
A few nights back, in health and spirits prime,
I went to rest about my usual time,
Nor did the clock a dozen minutes number,
Before I sank into a pea ceful slumber.
And while I thus reposed upon my bed,
A sound of music floated roued 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 ,ndly thought of Pope's and Dryden's Odes,
In which, by either poet, we are told,
Of what the famed maisicians 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,
Till 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 Father 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 Terrence with regard to dress,
And making up his mind without Jclay,
Ile called on Christmas on the appointed day.
The abode of Father Christmas was a pile
Precisely in the old baronial sty le ;
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 a laurel boughs were seen
nd
To vary pleasingly the winter green.
lIYAM arrived precisely to his time,
And found the " festive father" in his prime
of glow,
;
His eyes were bright, his cheeks were full
d'e do
,J, uos

„Good morning, sir (said lIYAM), how are y you ?""
And thus the usual compliments were passed,
Till business things were introduced aenquire
t last.
" I sent for you (said Christmas), to
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 few more days, and we shall find
ch it
With all its happiness and social eer;here,
And I'm ambitious (said the good old sire)
Of seeing all appear in good attire.
A sumptuous least is very well, I know,
And glad I am my subjects find it so :

j3LAIRS GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great efil
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, 'New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public
who may be similarly affected.
" About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
In Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by th:se who know some-
thing of this disease.
perfect
" It was durin
thate of thse recommends between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, I was ed to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in
health.
" From that moment, whenever .I feel any symptoms of ihe dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days ef magic have
cee.oki, I oom eui tunny attribute cue relhas not inict I obtainany tlegree suf-
to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health
fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
"GARRET FOSTER GILL.

strong arms and willing hearts for defence against
despotism, his features become animated, and he
launches out into such oratory as but few, if any,
speakers ever _ equalled. Towards the conclusion

Itossuth remarked that he had been presented with
an American sword, which he held in his hand, and
made a solemn vow that it should be always faithful
in the cause of freedom—ever first in battle, and never
polluted by ambition or cowardice."
Kossuth had published the following addresses :
" TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
" New York, Dec. 12.
"Having come to the United States to avail my-
self, for the cause of my country, of the sympathy
which I had reason to believe existed in the heart of
the nation, I found it my duty to declare, in the first
moments of my arrival, that it is my mission to plead
the independence of Hungary and the liberty of the
European continent, before the great Republic of the
United States. My principle in this respect is, that
every nation has the sovereign right to dispose of its
own domestic affairs without any foreign interference;
that I, therefore, shall not meddle with any domestic

concerns of the United States, and that I expect from
all the friends of my cause not to do anything in re-
Apect to myself that could throw difficulties in my
way, and, while expressing sympathy for the cause,
would injure it.
" It is with regret that I must feel the necessity of
again making that appeal to the public opinion of this
country, and particularly to those who profess them-
selves to be the friends of my cause, to give one proof
of their sympathy by avoiding every step which
might entangle me in difficulties in respect to that
rule which I have adopted, and which I again declare
to be my leading principle, viz., not to mix, and not
to be mixed up with whatever domestic concerns or
party questions.

"L. KOSSUTH."
" KOSSUTH'S VIEWS RELATIVE TO FRANCE.

" Europe is to-day divided in two camps ; on one
side that of the despots, the Czar, the Austrian Em-
peror, and all the Sovereigns who follow in their
track; on the other side, the camp of the oppressed
peoples who aspire to independence—Hungary, Italy,
Germany, to which it is necessary to join France,
who was the first to enter the arena. Between these
two camps are found the two great neutral Powers—
the United States and England—which I wish to in-
duce to unite, in order that they may counterbalance
the Russian influence and prevent the Czar from in-
terfering in our national struggles. I could not rank
France among the neutral Powers, since she is with us
and for us. Ido not speak of the Government of M.
Bonaparte, with which I have nothing to do, and the
existence of which is very near its end; but I know that
we can rely with all security upon the French nation.
From the day when she will have again her free
arbiter—and that day is not far distant—the Euro-
pean people know that they will find her in the first
ranks of the great struggle which they have to pur-
sue against despotism. This is the reason, gentle-
men, why the name of France is not found in my
speeches in connexion with those of England and
the United States. France is an ally, a sister for
oppressed nations: she walks under the same flag; it
would be to disown her mission and destiny, to rank
her among the powers which have not yet direct
engagements in our cause, and the support of which
we look for obtaining. I was very glad to give you
these explanations, and you can make use of them ;
but I will take care, besides, to seize the first oppor-
tunity in order to publicly unfold what I have first
said to you. I knew for a long time how to appraise
the great French nation, and I do not want to see
every one mistaking the sentiments I feel in her
respect."

The Parliamentary elections in Upper Canada, so
Far as they had taken place, had resulted favourably
the Ministerial party.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
NEW YORK, TUESDAY NIGHT, DEC. 16.
Money—Government securities are in request, and tts
the supply is small, prices are quite firm at quotations.
The demand for foreign exchange has not been particu-
larly active. Rates fell off a little yesterday, but to-day
they were firmer at 110 f to 1101 on London, 5.131 to
5.121 on Paris, 411 to 41i on Amstardam, 30 to 361
on Hamburgh, and 781 to 78i on Bremen. It is ex-
pected that the (Amur will take out between 800,000
dolls, and 1,000,000 dolls, in specie.
Cotton—The sales of the past week hate been large,
amounting to 42,700 bales, and the disposition to pur-
chase• more general than at any period since the opening
of the season. Importers have been free sellers, and n o
