FERNANDO Po.—Captain Richard Burton sailed
for Fernando Po, in the Bight of Biafra, West Africa, to
which place he has recently been appointed Consul, in the
Ethiope, from Liverpool, on the 24th inst.
THE FIRST STEAMBOAT.—We have not far to
look for the first germ of steam navigation. That huge
model, which appears to be a combination of two funnels
and a number of chains working over wheels, is the parent
marine engine. As early as the year 1787, Patrick Miller,
of Dalswinton, Scotland, engaged himself in making expe-
riments with double and treble boats, which he propelled
by means of wheels placed between them worked by manual
labour; in the following year he induced one Symington,
an engineer at Wenlock Head, to apply it to a marine steam
engine he had invented. This engine propelled the boat
along Dalswinton Lake at tho rate of five miles an hour.
This was undoubtedly the first attempt ever made to use
steam as the motive power in a vessel, although it was not
the first practical steamboat. The engine which belongs to
the earliest history of that invention is what is called an
atmospheric engine—that is, the piston is raised by the
action of steam, and then it is forced down by atmospheric
pressure. The history of this curious parent of steam
navigation is worth noting. After the trial in the boat the
engine was removed to Mr. Miller's library, where it re-
mained until his death in 1815 ; in 1828 it was sent by his
son, packed in a deal case, to Messrs. Coutts and Co., in the
Strand, where it remained until 1837, and finally it found
its way to a plumber's in Edinburgh, Who flung it aside
with the purpose of melting it. However, the model was
rescued from destruction in 1855, and was restored to its
former working condition by Messrs, Penn and Sell in 1857. ,

EXTRACTS FROM THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1860.

" The success of the Company, even in its earliest years,
received the marked attention, and elicited the surprised
comments, of writers best acquainted with the history of In-
surance Companies.

" Fire Preiniutns for 1860 EQUAL the Total Fire Premiums
for the SEVEN YEARS 1845 to 1851.

"Life Premiums for 1860 'EXCVED the Entire Life Pre-
miums for the EIGHT Y WARS ending. 1852.
" Purcha-e of Annuities in 1860 LARGELY EXCEEDS the
similar receipt, for the first TEN YEARS, 1845 to 1854.
"Thi,, progress, it is believed, is unsurpassed, considering
that it applies to each of the three branches of the business."

FURTHER DISCOVERIES OF GOLD.

Further gold discoveries, more remunerative than
,hose first announced, appear to have been made

n Nova Scotia. The Balifax Chronicle of the 6th

inst. contains the following account of their position,
which is near Luenburg, and has been designated
"The Ovens":—
"Considerable excitement had been caused, and difficul-

ties had arisen among the adventurers who had gathered
there. Some members of the Nova Scotia Government
went down to restore order, but found the troubles as re-
ported had been greatly magnified. Regulations were pre-
pared for the management of the diggings,' and all parties
are now working harmoniously. Mr. W. Cunard, of Hali-
fax, among others, visited ' The Ovens' by the Nimble, and
returned with the party. The beach washings are yielding
very abundantly. One man by the crudest machinery
washes loz. of gold a-day out of the sand on the seaside.

"Lots are laid off 33 by 30 feet. Mr. Cunard two under •
stand, took up 70 lots, mostly in the rear, paying at the rate
of £5 for each as a yearly rental. He returned home with
the party on Sunday evening, bringing some beautiful spe-
cimens, about the size of what is commonly called duck
shot, only flatter and all kinds of shapes, more resembling
slugs than shot. We saw a small phial of these, heavy as
so much quicksilver, in Mr. Cunard's possession, gathered
by himself, though somewhat intermixed with dust and
gravel.
" Last evening Mr. Cunard left again with one of his own
steamers fully equipped for operations, taking a house
frame, 20 feet square, all fitted, a picked set of men, a
dredging machine, and every imaginable appliance. About
150 men are busy at these diggings, and 200 lots have been
already disposed of. From the lay of the land, it is sup-
posed that they extend for fully a couple of miles along the
coast.

" There seems to be no longer room for doubt of the
value and richness of the geld deposits in Nova Scotia.
The miners at Tangier, which is perhaps GO or 80 miles
from `The Ovens,' are said to be doing well."

EXPORT OF GOLD TO AMERICA.—The Liverpool,
New York, and Philadelphia Steamship Company's screw
steamer City of Manchester sailed from Liverpool yester-
day for New York. Besides the United States' mails, she
took out about 60 cabin passengers. She had on board
£87,423 in gold on freight.

A Turin letter of the 23d has the following :
"The Diritto annuunces that MM. Bertani, Miceli,
and Regnoli, have presented to the Minister of
Justice, in Garibaldi's name, the duplicate of the
decree granting an amnesty to the officers and
soldiers who deserted from the regular army to
join the expeditionary force of the South. That
decree had arrived from Caprera. The three depu-
ties demanded that the decree should be enforced ;
bat M. Minghetti alleged that he could nothing

question being seriously at variance with the

MINERAL WEALTH OF LOWER CANADA.—The
mineral discoveries in the country south of the St. Lawrence,
between Quebec and Montreal, continue to excitr, attention.
The gold mines on the Chaudiere are now being examined
by several companies and individuals, and no doubt they
will reap a rich reward, for the gold is very coarse and the
nuggets are abundant. Gold mining in America is much
like other pursuits, in that it requires to be steadily and
patiently pursued. The industrious labourer is sure to
make good wages, if no more, and it is only the few who
stumble upon Lig nuggets. It is the copper mines, how-
ever, which now engage the chief share of attention. Several
have been discovered, apparently as rich as that at Acton,
which has made a villago of 500 grow to a town of 5,000
inhabitants in three years, and companies are now being
formed to work them ; while a mining agency association is
being formed to introduce these mineral locations to the
English market. These new mines, it must be remembered,
do not, like the Harvey Hill and older mines, require deep
excavation. The ore was almost on the surface, and you
quarry it, as you would stone for roads, by blasting.—

A Turin letter of the 23d has the following :
"The Diritto annuunces that MM. Bert ani, Miceli,
and Regnoli, have presented to the Minister of
Justice, in Garibaldi's name, the duplicate of the
decree granting an amnesty to the officers and
soldiers who deserted from the regular army to
join the expeditionary force of the &nth. That
decree had arrived from Caprera. The three depu-
ties demanded that the decree should 1313 enforced ;
but M. Minghetti alleged that he could nothing
without consulting his colleagues, the decree in
question being seriously at variance with the
Constitution."

MINERAL WEALTH OF LOWER CKNADA.—The
mineral discoveries in the country south of the St. Lawrence,
between Quebec and Montreal, continue to oxcita attention.
The gold mines on the Chaudiere are now being examined
by several companies and individuals, and no doubt they
will reap a rich reward, for the gold is very coarse and the
nuggets are abundant. Gold-mining in America is much
like other pursuits, in that it requires to be steadily and
patiently pursued. The industrious labourer is sure to
make good wages, if no more, and it is only the few who
stumble upon Lig nuggets. It is the copper mines, how-
ever, which now engage the chief share of attention. Several
have been discovered, apparently as rich as that at Acton,
which has made a village of 500 grow to a town of 5,000
inhabitants in three years, and companies are now being
formed to work them ; while a mining agency association is
being formed to introduce these mineral locations to the
English market. These new mines, it must be remembered,
do not, like the Harvey Hill and older mines, require deep
excavation. The ore Was almost on the surface, and you
quarry it, as you would stone for roads, by blasting.—

My dear Sir,--The newspapers which have just
reached me contain a circular issued by a commit-
tee in Glasgow, bearing your signature as convener,
inviting subscriptions to a testimonial fund in
acknowledgment of my " recent eminent services."
Whilst I appreciate most cordially the friendly
motives which must have prompted the gentlemen
whose names appear on the committee to take this
step without my consent or knowledge, I must beg
them to allow me very respectfully to decline their
proffered kindness. I drew upon the Government
for my expenses during the time I was in Paris,
and have therefore incurred no pecuniary sacrifice
for which lam entitled to reimbursement. As for
the services which I rendered in connexion with
the Treaty, they were a labour of love for which
it would be painful to me to accept compensation
in any form, or from any quarter. Reiterating
my thanks for your kind intentions,
Believe me, yours very truly,

THAMES.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—An intelligent looking young
woman, named Mary Ann iStarn, dwelling with her
parents, at No. 8, New-square, North-street, Whitechapel,
was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with attempting
to commit self destruction.

The case was a very singular one, and much sympathy
was expressed for the prisoner. She is a needlewoman, and
has been working very diligently to maintain herself. A
few days since she was robbed on her way home of a purse
containing 6s. which she had received a few minutes pre-
viously for some work she bad taken to a warehouse in the
City. The loss of her money led to a dispute with her
mother, and while labouring under great anguish and
distress of mind she repaired to the canal bridge in the
Mile-end-road, and precipitated herself into the
canal. Many persons saw her commit this rash act,
and raised an immediate alarm. The prisoner was taken
out of the water by Lewis Lambert, a police constable, No.
311 K, who conveyed her to Mile-end Old Town work-
house. She was attended by Dr. Freeman, Medical Officer
of Health, and was fortunately resuscitated. She had been
since under medical treatment, and was very weak and ill
from her immersion in the water, and the anxieties she had
undergone.

The mother of the prisoner said her daughter was a sew-
ing machinist, and that she had been very short of work ever
since a fortnight before Christmas, and that the loss (Aber
money, and her inability to pay for her board, had preyed
on her mind.

Mr. Yardley—ls she a single woman ?
Witness—Yes, sir, and always behaved very well until
Friday night, when she plunged into the water.
Dr. Freeman, who was in attendance, and took some
interest in the case, said he believed the prisoner was a
person of good character, and that she was labouring under
despondency of mind, occasioned by the loss of her earn-
ings, when she attempted to commit suicide.
Mr. Yardley said the prisoner had committed a very
foolish and wicked act, and for which she was liable to
severe punishment. If the prisoner had come before him
and made known her loss, and if her statement had been
verified he should have thought it consistent with his duty
to afford some relief from the poor-box fund. He could
not do so now for she had committed an offence against the
law. It was a most absurd act, and ho hoped the prisoner
was sorry for what she had done.

The prisoner said she was very sorry, and would not
repeat the attempt on her life.
Mr. Yardley—l hope not. To eommit self-murder is an
offence against the laws of God and the laws of your coun-
try. I believe I shall not far exceed my duty in discharg-
ing you. Now let this be.a warning to you for ever.
