SECRETARY (ad interim).
Mr. George Frederick Goodman.
This Company being now completely registered, the Directors
ts.kr., the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a
sta..tement 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 Ht-nry 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
Faint ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry
relative to the state of the country, th,vbenure of land, the eorn•
Paraiive meriti.of-tha-iiifferantltuart2ris In tbe-severaLattriets
'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 amaTgamate quartz to
be supplied by those who are possessed 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 Au erican 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
City, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and
amalgamate the quartz to be 'raised from the mine opened by
' them. By means of machinery, he has already mulled
and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup-
, plied him from this mine; and the rtsult of his operations
has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average
richness, and that the locality oilers many important advantages in
the way of water, fuel, means of transit, &C., &c. He has, there-
fore, entered into a formal agreement wills 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 arnalomate it at his own expense, and
the g kl produced is to be divided equally between the owners
or the vein and our Company. Formal and legal agreements
for carrying out the above arrangement 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 Miler 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
se'ding 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 quarts, sent over to this country for
the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to
the British public ; we found our calculations apon 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 percentage 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 iis, the quartz which
we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or I/.
17s. 4d. per cwt., or 371. Os. Bd. per ton • and, as we can crush and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, would amount to 7461.
13s. 4d., or 3731. Os. Bd. 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 currant outlay most trifling.
In case circumstances eissittla induce the dadreetars to alter the
system now adopted, and lead them to undertake raining operations
of their own, arrangements have been made admiring foul' 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
services.
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 large body of
Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the
Dire story 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 conversed 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 wills the sole 'dew of for-
warding the interest of the Shareholders.

READS OF THE NEW REFORM BILL.
Conjectures are plentiful as blackberries in season upon the
subject of the New Reform Bill: of the many parties who long for
change some idea may be formed when it is announced that, of three
hundred proposals, scarcely two are alike. Of course they all want
a change, but the precise quality of that change is different. They
all want a change for the better, and each has his remedy for present
evils, and his provision for future good. We need hardly say there
are scarcely two that are at all comportable with each other. They
all call it an extension of the franchise. We like to see the reformers
begin by reforming themselves, and if they see an evil which they
can of themselves cure by a little personal risk or sacrifice, let them
do it. When the population of this country almost groaned under
the heavy burdens imposed on the articles of dress, and it was
difficult far men of limited income to appear in decent clothing,
Messrs. E. MOSES and SON devoted an immense capital to effect a
reform. There were only two heads for their Reform Bill: first,
that in future clothing should be made better, and of better materials,
than they had ever been ; and, second, that the price should be re-
duced one-half; and perhaps they were the only men who could
carry out the reform in the face of thousands of tailors whose trade
it injured, or rather whose extortion it checked. Ever since they
determined to reform the system of clothing, and put it into every
man's power to dress better than before, and at half the price, the
public have been saving to the amount of millions; and now let
anybody and everybody step into the Monarch Mart, or the West-end
Branch Establishment, and see the materials from all parts of the
world made up in a style which no firm in London could equal,
designs which none but their own artists could produce, neatness and
strength of workmanship which none but their own admirable staff
of the best men in Europe could attempt, and it will be at once ob-
served that they have effected a much greater public benefit by their
reform than ever Lord John Russell could. Let his Lordship try to
reduce the price of anything wanted by all classes to half, and en-
sure it better, as E. MOSES and SON have done dress, and we
shall be delighted. At present Messrs. E. MOSES and SON'S Reform
is the mast substantial of all that has been attempted.

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy and physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
tage by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
through secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
ing misery and regret.
