they issued a report to the shareholders of this com-
pany announcing the reports sent over by Mr. Pal-
mer to have been "gross exaggerations if not fabri-
cations." As this appeared bfore the letter of your
correspondent at San Francisco, it proves there was
no concealment of this fact on their part. The
lithographic drawing, which you state to have been
issued by the directors in this country, was made
from a sketch by Mr. Palmer and sent over by him
with his report.
With respect to any proof which the directors have
the power of affording you that the company in this
country has been duped by Mr. Palmer, they can
only repeat what they have before stated, namely,
that the communications received from Mr. Palmer
are in Sir 11. Huntley's possession, and cannot be
produced till his return, which is expected the middle
of November. Mr. Massy Dawson, however, who is
the bearer of this letter to you, and a provisional di-
rector of this company, takes with him an agreement
signed by Mr. Palmer previous to his departure, the
attesting witness to which shall, if required, wait
upon you to satisfy you of the execution of the do-
cument by Mr. Palmer, and an original letter from
Sir Henry, from Leamington, acknowledging the re-
ceipt of Mr. Palmer's first report. He will also show
you the original dispatches (in the first of which he
acknowledges the receipt of Mr. Palmer's second
letter) received from Sir H. Huntley, and from
which the above quotations are made.
In addition to the miners who went out with Sir

Henry Huntley others were afterwards dispatched to
join him, carrying with them large quantities of min-
ing tools and implements. The total number thus
sent out amounts to nearly thirty. The provisional
directors desire to add that as this company is not yet
completely registered, !very arrangement made since
the provisional registration of the company (including
the negotiation pending between Sir H. Huntley and
the Mariposa Company) is merely preliminary.
They do not base the success of this company upon
an amalgamation with the Mariposa Company. They
have no hesitation in asserting, that as soon as this
company is completely registered (and this will be as
soon as the legal formalities now in progress will
allow) they will conclusively show that the prelimi•
nary arrangements made by them afford the elements
of a most successful enterprise. The company has
neither debts nor liabilities, and has a balance in hand
more than sufficient to meet any immediate requisi-
tions.

The provisional directors are merely desirous at the
present moment of upholding the credit of this com-
pany, and (as connected with it) vindicating their own
honour. To this end they only require fair play; and
they submit it to the public, and to your sense ofjus-
tice, Sir, whether the permitting an unknown writer
to attack them in your columns with assertions con-
tradicted by your own correspondent at San Fran-
cisco, and with injurious insinuations founded upon
those assertions, is giving them fair play.

Your own correspondent says, "I am bound in
justice to all parties to add, that from all Ipcaasnseeeianntod
learn, the company (the Anglo-Californian) has per-
formed all its engagements to the Cornishmin
fidelity. Money is placed here, and bills of
for a further supply have arrived, coming forward to
provide for their wants and pay for their passage
the interior."
