In the statement prepared by Mr. Smyth, the I
S,,cretary of Mines for the colony of Victoria, to
accompany the objects furnished by that depart-
ment to the Paris Exhibition of the present year,
after devoting a considerable space, but no more
than they deserve, to the operators of the Port
Phillip Colonial and Gold Mining Company, he
calls the attention of all who are interested in
Quartz Mines to the detailed account furnished by
Mr. Bland, on the part of the company, as showing
what can be accomplished by good management and
the use of well-devised appliances. " The usual
course pursued (continues Mr. S nyth) when a rich
vein is discovered by those who are in haste to make
money is to form a company, and to put machinery
on the ground at a great cost, and to crush enough
of the rich quartz to give notoriety to the mine.
The original proprietors sell out when this is accom-
plished, and the property is left in many cases in the
hands of men who are not well acquainted with
mining. After a time the reef is probably lost, the
machinery comes to a stand-still, and the adven-
ture is abandoned. The proper and honest course
is to test the vein, to raise a sufficient quantity of
quartz to ascertain the probable yield of gold from
it, before incurring the expense of erecting crushing
mills." Now the teat just recommended may be
easily applied, and with very great accuracy too, by
any one of experience ; and the large body of the
public hero at home do not know, or arc apt to for-
get, how a small quantity of gold pays for the cost
of raising and crushing the quartz. The expendi-
ture for that purpose, together with the cost of
management, from an average size reef—say four to
five feet thick, will be about 13s. per ton, at 300 to
400 feet from the surface. The pennyweight
(dwts.) of gold stands in miners' estimation is equi-
valent to four shillings in money, and therefore 31
dwts. will represent the cost of obtaining the desired
metal. But Ito quote again from the official state-
ment)—" From returns made by the mining sur-
veyors and mining registrars of the yield of gold
from parcels of quartz crushed during a period of
seven years (from 1859 to 1865) it appears that
3,110,328 tons have yielded au average of 12 dwts.
6,375 grs. of gold per ton"—that is in money (say
121 grs. for easy calculation) 495. per ton. Bat a
pamphlet now before us gives a very plain estimate,
showing that a return of only 7 dwts. per ton, or
285., would yield a clear profit of 50 per cent. per
annum, on an establishment founded at an outlay
of £25,000, even though so large a proportion of
the returns as £10,900 were set aside for contin-
gencies and accidents, &c. The wonder is, then,
that more capital has not found its way out to be
thus profitably employed in the Australian mines.
Satisfactory methods of accounting for the singu-
lar facts are given by Mr. Kitto in the pamphlet
just mentioned, entitled 'The Gold Mines of
Victoria." This gentleman is a Government min-
ing surveyor, now on leave of absence to this
country, who from his position and experience is
enabled to support his facts and arguments by the
necessary statistics gathered from the various de-
partments of the Victorian Government and from
other sources. He avows that the purpose of his
labours is to prove that au immense field is open for
the safe investment of capital in the Australian gold
mines; and an additional voucher for the sincerity of
his convictions is that his pages are free from any
liking to particular localities, or companies, or modes
of operating. His official duties must have made
him thoroughly acquainted with his subject, and all
who are interested in that subject will joyfully
refer to his well-arranged information and lucid
corollaries. Setting aside the earlier years of the
history of gold mining in Australia, Mr. Kitto lays
himself out to impress on the reader that the part of
the capitalist to devote himself to that branch of the
treatment of the gold districts, which is now evident
will become a permanent industry—that is, quartz
mining, in which such rapid progress has been made
that it is reduced almost to a science, under the
laws of which an experienced mining engineer can-
not fail to produce results satisfactorily to his em-
ployers. Alluvial mining, at first thought to be
the only course that could be prosecuted with suc-
cess, is on the other hand likely to decline ; the
rather that the doctrine laid down by theorists, and
even confirmed by a commission specially appointed
to report on the matter—viz., that gold would not
be found in remunerative quantities beyond a depth
of forty or sixty feet—has been utterly scattered to
the winds by one continuous series of results from
deep mining, establishing that if the gold does not
increase with depth it certainly does not decrease.
Mr. Kitto gives a selection from the returns of va-
rious mines, showing the large profits accruing from
quartz brought up from depths of from 600 to 200
feet ; and the richest gold mine in California we
learn i 51,200 feet in perpendicular descent from the
surface, and probably 300 feet below the ocean.
Thequestion may in fact be considered as completely
disposed of, and the stride taken by quartz mining
is seen at once when we find that it now produced
nearly one-third of the whole amount of gold fur-
nished by Victoria during the last year, 1866. With
all this, Mr. Kitto tells us, failures will arise, some-
times from a wrong selection of ground ; secondly,
from insufficient capital to carry on the work when
commenced; and thirdly, from the unscientific
manner in which the operations may be carried out.
The instances of mismanagement adduced are
openly alleged and supported by official corrobora-
tion, so that full credit may be given them. Thus
in the Wattle Gully Company, of whose mining
establishment our author was himself the manager,
the original subscription capital was insufficient to
meet a time of financial difficulty, the directors
refused to make further call, and the property was
sold for a song. However, many miners have since
made small fortunes from the Wattle Gully pro-
perty, and when Mr. Kitto left Victoria, in April of
the present year, the mine was yielding in the
aggregate nearly 400 ounces of gold weekly. Again,
at a meeting of the Charlton Company at Ballarat,
in December, 1866, a shareholder wanted to know
why one of the drives, after travelling about to all
points of the compass, a distance of 300 feet, passed
at least within ten feet of the shaft? A direc-
tor replied that the drive was a mistake, arising
from the want of a compass to guide the mining
manager, and on being asked why a compass
was not provided, said the company could not
afford one. Another remarkable instance is that of
the Comet Company (Bendigo), in which, through
mismanagement, the mine was nearly closed.
The shares were absolutely unsaleable when Mr.
R. Schlesinger undertook the legal management,
and by employing experienced men has within two
years brought the concern to pay over 39 per cent.
per annum, with prospects of extraordinary future
returns, as a very large expenditure has arisen out
of purely opening work. With few exceptions,
indeed such is Mr. Ditto's opinion, the quartz mines
of Victoria are not well managed, and yet the re-
sult of mining in the quartz reefs is, in the aggre-
gate, infinitely better than from the alluvial
workings.

TIEFENSIO NON PROVOCATIO.
TO THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS OF TIIE

UNITED KINGDOM.
You are all aware that in 1860 Mr. Gladstone succeeded
in passing an Act of Parliament, by ono provision of which
it was placed in the power of every shopkeeper to retail
Wines.

Whatever may have boon the motive of this policy, there
can bo no dispute about its operation. It Was direet in-
terference with the trade of the Licensed Victuallers, the
most highly taxed body of traders in the Kingdom, and an
invitation to other bodies to compete with them for the
profits of their own proper and legitimate business.
The Grocers were not slow to avail themselves of the
new field thus thrown open to them, and have cultivated
it withan assiduity which compels the Licensed Victuallers
to consider how they may best protect and indemnify
themselves. The result of the deliberations of many
members of the Trade on the subject has been a resolution
to meet the rivalry of the Grocers in tho sale of Wine by
embarking in the sale of Tea. •
An Association has accordingly been formed for this
purpose, which—strong by its connexion with gentlemen
of long residence in China, and large experience as tea
masters—can undertake to dispense with intermediate
profits, and to supply tea at a lower price than the pur-
chasing retail Grocers pay.
The benefits of this project will bo by no means confined
to the Licensed Victuallers ; it will bo an especial boon to
the poor, who are now paying an exorbitant price to the
Grocers for an article on the sale of which these rely for
their largest profits.
The Tea supplied by the " LICENSED VICTUAL-
LERS' TEA ASSOCIATION" will be packed in quan-
tities of 11b., jib., and It will be obtained only from
the Association, which will also take upon itself to pay for
the licences necessary for its sale.
A list of Agents already appointed will bo published in
a few days. In the meantime all applications may bo ad-
dressed to the Secretary of the Licensed Victuallers' Tea

SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, Scc.
Admiralty, 26th July, 1867.
The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY
hereby give notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS-
SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser-
vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine
Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, for the present
year, be as follows :
Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21
years of age, and must have served at least two years in
private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or
must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way
been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera-
tions as to become well-grounded in the eementary prin-
ciples and practices thereof.
The pupils will be selected by competitive examination,
the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned
for each, are as follows : Marks.
Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu-
ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane
trigonometry, and the elements of the differential
and integral calculus 2,500
Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and
hydrostatics
Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for
shipwright's candidates only) 2,500
Practical Marine Engineering (for engineer candi-
dates only) 2,500
French 5OO
Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750
English Grammar and Composition
Geography and History
No candidate will bo admitted who does not obtain at
least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two
first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number,
either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering.
The last four subjects, although counting in the com-
petition, will not be considered obligatory.
The candidates who may be selected will bo treated,
while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi-
ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock-
yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6d. per day for six
days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d.
per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a sub-
sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week
while away from theii homes, either at the school or in the
Dockyards.
Six months of each year, viz., from November till May,
will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining
six months to active work and the acquirement of practical
knowledge in the dockyards.
It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en-
gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of
their course of study; and they must rely on their own
worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ-
ment in their subsequent career. The number of such
pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and one
engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward
their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds
on which they consider themselves practically qualified,
enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary
of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September.
The candidates should also state whether they wish to
be examined as engineers or shipwrights.
The examination will take place on the 23d September
and three following days.
By command of their Lordships,
HENRY GORDON LENNOX.

Mr. GRANT DUFF, M.P., took the chair in the
Economic Section. In his address he said that there
never was a time when it was so necessary to popu-
larise the science of political economy as now.
Alarmists were saying that one of the results of re-
form via be that many matters which were consi-
dered settled will be re-opened, that Protection will
again raise her head, and that the ghosts of old fal-
lacies will come back to gibber •in the House of
Commons. lie (Mr. G. Duff) was one of those who
think such fears wildly exaggerated ; but the mere
possibility of our people lapsing into heresies such
as those which have seduced men of our race in
America and Australia should warn us to diffuse far
and wide the broad results of economic science.
Having touched upon the subject of educational and
vital statistics, and pointed out the advantages that
had arisen from the study, Mr. G. Duff concluded
by saying that those who overrated statistics were
almost as mischievous as those whose reckless abuse
gave point to the sneer that nothing was so frlse as
figures except facts—Rigbys of political life, who
manipulate their figures for controversial suc-
cess. A man who deals with statistics in the
spirit of the saying " So much the worse for facts,"
can make them prove anything ; but no saying can
be further from the temper of the statistician. A
spirit resigned to collect one by one the stones of a
temple which his successor may build up is the
mark of the true student of science. The committee
reported in favour of a uniform system of weights
and measures. It was agreed that the monetary
convention of France, Austria, Belgium, and
Switzerland was a great step in the right direction
The greatest interest was manifested iu the section
of Geography and Ethnology, in which Sir Samuel
Baker, the African traveller, presided. In opening
the proceedings of the section, Sir Samuel, after
dwelling on the importance of geography as neces-
sary to almost every other science, and tracing the
history of discovery, showed its intimate connection
with the extension of civilisation and Christianity.
Referring to Livingstone, of whom for twelve months
no tidings had been received, Sir Samuel Baker de-
clared his belief that he was dead. The natives in
the interior of Africa, unlike Europeans, were
scientific liars; they will never tell such absurd lies
as to declare their masters dead to excuse their leav-
ing. They would have feigned sickness or some other
excuse, for they would know he might become a
witness against them. It would require an extremity
of moral courage they did not possess to say he was
dead if lie was not. lie was obliged, like Dr. Kirk,
to believe Livingstone had been murdered, and as
his fellow-traveller he could only exclaim, " Peace
to his memory." lie could not but praise the Go-
vernment for sending an expedition to ascertain the
truth. Livingstone's great qualifications were his
patience and endurance. In the discussion which
ensued Sir Roderick Murchison said he believed
Livingstone was possibly, if not probably, alive, and
he would never go into mourning fur him upon the
testimony of such convicted liars.

„ 2. Select Order Department.
„ 3. Juvenile and Youths' Department.

Tho most experienced cutters and workmen aro em-
ployed, and the newest and best materials, with duo regard
to economy, aro guaranteed.

The special department of Biology, conee,led to
anthropologists at Nottingham, has been withdrawn.
The members therefore refused to read the papers.
they will probably hold separate meetings as a sort
of protest against the association.
In the Mathematical and Physical Science Sec-
tion, Mr. Glaisher read a paper on luminous meteors.
Simultaneous observations made at Sidmou th and
Cardiff showed that the phosphorescent train of one
meteor was 18 miles long ; the meteor seen at
Dundee, from 51 to 57 miles high. One observed
at St. Andrews and Glasgow was 60 miles above
the earth. The catalogue of the association of the
year had contained the most complete report ever
presented on the subject of the maximum display
in the November shower of stars in America. The
approach of daylight will probably deprive British
observers of the spectacle. At the last display the
luminous streak was visible in North France and
Germany for more than au hour.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
descrip-
tion of AlellteertlVlrCeeltAL TEE 11, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro ii the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. Tins
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

"In going to Salzburg, the Emperor and the
Empress were guided by a sentiment which public
opinion could not mistake, and I should refrain
from writing to you now of the interview between
the two Sovereigns, had it not formed the subject
of interpretations which tend to distort the charac-
ter it possessed.

"The journey of their Majesties was solely dic-
tated by the idea of bearing an affectionate testi-
mony of sympathy to the Imperial family of Aus-
tria, so cruelly afflicted by a recent misfortuue.
Certainly the heads of two great empires could not
be together in confiding intimacy for several days
without mutually communicating to one another
their impressions, and exchanging ideas on ques-
tions of general interest. But neither the object
nor the result of their interviews was the formation
of combinations which there is nothing in the pre-
sent state of Europe to justify.
" You remember the language of the Government
of the Emperor each time that it has had occasion to
explain itself respecting the state of things created
by the military events of last summer. Our atti-
tude was defined first in the circular of the l_Gth of
September last, again later by the language of his
Majesty the Emperor, at the opening of the Senate
and Legislative Body, and, lastly, by the speeches of
the Minister of State during the Parliamentary
debates of last session. We have not ceased to
show ourselves, in all our actions, faithful to the
intentions which we have from the first manifested
in presence of the changes that have taken place in
Germany. At a recent conjuncture we have seen
the Cabinets of Europe do justice to the straight-
forwardness of our policy, and lend their concur-
rence to our ideas of pacification. What then
occurred is a guarantee for the support which in
case of need ideas of moderation would again receive
from them. The interviews of the Emperor
Napoleon with the Emperor Francis Joseph could
not therefore have the character attributed to them
by certain journalists. Long before meeting at

same line of conduct as hitherto. Their conversa-
tions upon general affairs were limited to this assur-
ance, which was mutually given.
" Thus, far from considering the Salzburg inter-
view as a subject for preoccupation and anxiety to
other Courts, weshould see in it only a fresh motive
for confidence in the preservation of peace.
" I desired to let you know my opinion upon pub-
lications of which the object is to create a contrary
impression.
" You may adopt these considerations iu order to
correct the erroneous views on the subject which
may prevail around you.

Some such faults of management, and such ab-
sence of proper direction, are requisite to account
for the astounding fact that out of 30,348 square
miles in Victoria—" in any part of which (accord-
ing to official investigation) there is a possibility of
remunerative gold deposits being found"—only 869
square miles have been mined upon ; and of this
smaller area only about one-sixth was occupied at
the end of last year, 1866. What, then, is the
p conclusion ? We will give it in Mr. Kitto's own
words :—" My intimate acquaintance with the gold
fields, having been engaged for eleven years in con-
nection therewith as miner, manager of mines, and
during the last seven years as Government mining
surveyor, enables me to state without fear of con-
tradiction that I am within the estimate when I say
that of the 860 square miles which have been par-
tially worked, and of which only one-sixth is at
