Payments, £4,493 ss. 11d. Profit, £1,796 lls. sd. ; added to
this sum was the balance from last account,lviz., £46 25.6 d.,
which made a total of £6,842 13s. The amount divided
between the two companies was £6,000, tho Port Phillip
Company's proportion of which is £3,900. The amount
paid off water supply account was £BOO, leaving a
balance in hand of £42 13s. 11d. to bo carried forward to
next account.

Four Weeks' Return for August.—Quantity of quartz
crushed 4,938 tons, yielding 1,9500 z. 8 dwts. of gold, or an
average of 7 dwts. 21 grs. por ton.

Alines.—All the underground work is going on very
well, the sinking the north shaft progresses favourably,
the ground continuing easy. The total depth from the
surface is now GOO feet, and 93 feet below the No. 6 Plat.
The only mothod of ascertaining the value of the quartz
is by sampling the mineral as it comes from the driv:,s and
wing-es, and this is b,ing continued, one 12-head battery
being kept almost entirely on this work. I don't think we
need fear any deficiency in the supply of quartz. We are
(icing our best to open out the lower workings to a greater
extent than the upp,q- levels are being exhausted.
Water Supply.—The Birch's crock plant, I am happy to
say, continues to work most satisfactorily, and supplies us
with an abundance of clear water. The board will by this
time be relieved of all anxiety in respect to the repayment
of the advance to the bank. The debt now amounts to
£2,000, the sum of £2,840 having already been repaid out
of profits, and that without unduly interfering with the
dividend account.

The remittance received by this mail was £l,OOO.

EARTHQUAKE A 7 CRE7E.

The slight shocks of earthquake which were re-
cently felt at Malta appear to have come from the
direction of Crete. Letters from Canea of the 23d
of September state that the first shock was felt on
the afternoon of the 19th of September, at about
half-past 5, and was but slight. On the following
day, the 20th, at 5.15 a.m., however, a very severe
earthquake shook the town, causing more or less
damage to nearly all the buildings. The oscillations
were horizontal, and lasted ten seconds. Two lives
only were lost, a sentry and a sick soldier having
been killed by the falling of one of the old Venetian
Galley arches. The second shock was followed at
6 a.m. by a series of violent effluxes and influxes of
the sea at intervals of 15 minutes, which effected
much damage to the merchant shipping, several of
the smaller craft parting their cables and coming
into collision. The morning was still and sultry.
The thermometer at 6 a.m. rose from 66 deg. to 86
deg. ; the temperature of the sea water from 75 deg.
to 85 deg. and 87 deg. The sea rose and fell sft.
in 10 minutes. Owing to the acids evolved and held
in solution by the sea water, the copper sheathing
of the ships in port was cleaned and rendered quite
bright by the galvanic action. During the day
most of the inhabitants, including Omer Pasha and
staff, encamped outside the town. The hospitals
have been cleared, and the sick housed under can-
vas. The earthquake having come from the east-
ward, it was expected the town of Candia would
have suffered, as in 185 G. A steamer was de-
spatched to that place, but it was found to have
suffered comparatively little. The efflux and in-
flux of the sea continued till midnight of the 20th,
gradually diminishing both in force and in rise and
fall.—,Malta limes, Oct. 3.

A ZOOLOGICAL CARGO.—YeSterd:iy a strange
cargo arrived at Liverpool from Hamburg. It consisted
of the largest elephant in Europe, weighing ten tons ; two
fine d7omeda;ies, a gorilla, a cub lion, and other zoological
specimens. The whole lot was valued at £7,000. The
Corporation of Liverpool are likely to become the pur-
chaorg for the zoological §lntiQLl tg the Liew Saftm Park.
