THE SAN .PE_RNAADO MINING
COMPANY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

beg leave to apply for space in your
columns to state a narrative with respect to a
company called San Fernando Mining Company,
of which I cannot now hear anything. I was in-
duced by an agent, a share and mining agent, to
invest some hundreds of pounds in what was then
called this " promising concern,'' and in due c.mrse,
after parting with my money, received'a sheet of
paper, imposing enough in appearance, printed full
of coupons for the receipt of dividends down to the
year 1861. I cut off two of these and received a
small sum—aid since then I have hoard never a
word about them.

It appears to me to be some siv-ng concern,
but I w..u'd hope there is some law to reach the
parties who hive the management of it. There are
no doubt others in the same predicament as myself,
and as unity is strength, perhaps if we joined our
efforts, something might be made of this con-
cern, either in shape of a return, or an account
rendered of what has become of the monies.
I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant,

DISSOLVING VIE WS OF FRANCE.

COUNT DE MORNY'S ADDRESS TO THE LEGISLATIVE
CORPS, OPENED FOR 1858.

"As the finest buildings are best viewed at a certain
distance, so at a distance from France one is best enabled
to judge how great is her position abroad.
" Consolation may be found, while afar off, in that
national sentiment of pride which every true Frenchman
carries in his heart. Paris is not touched by the die.
asters which afflict so many other States : let us hope that
this crisis may be of shoot duration."

IMPROVEMENTS IN NEWGATE-STREET.

Mr. PERKINS brought up a report from the Bridge•
house Committee (in the absence of the chairman,
Mr. G. C. Graves), recommending that the committee
should be embowered to treat uith the Commiseionera
of Sewers for setting back four houses on the north
side of Newgate-street.

Mr. PER/CINS, in moving that the Court agree with
the committee in their report, said that one of the
great advantages which would arise from the carrying
out of this improvement would be the widening of
the means of access to Newgate-markeot, where now
so much difficulty existed as to make the crowding of
the vehicles and the pressure of the people who
thronged the market perfectly intolerable. (bear.)
Report agreed to.

NABROW ESCAPE OP LADY SlTWELL.—Yesterday,
between 12 and 1 o'clock, an accident, which might
have resulted in a very seriois manner, occurred to
Lady Sitwell. As her ladyship's carriage was turning
fromW i
Waterloo-place into Pall-mall the horses suddenly
took fright and started off at a very furious pace. Capt.
Richard Lambert, who happened to be pausing at the
time, immediately rushed before the affrighted animals,
and at the imminent dadger of his own life succeeded in
stopping their further progress. Beyond the fright, the
fair occupants sustained no injury.

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian, Gazette states
that the Emperor
has sanctioned a law, in 4i artiele9, in conformity
with existing treaties, which regulates everything
connected with the political rights of Austrian
subjects residing in the Ottoman Empire.
A Vienna letter of the 6th says :—" M. Garas-
obanin, formerly a Minister 114 Servia, left this
i
place for Belgrade. It s confidently stated that a
portfolio has been offered him. Should this news
be confirmed, an important change will be effected
in Servian policy. M. Garaschatnu belongs to the
anti-Russian party. 11, e left the Ministry in con-
sequence of M. Fonton s mission in 1853 ; and he
is now considered the best man to extricate Servia
from her present difficulties."

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin lottor says :

"The let January is approaching with rapid strides,
and it is then that, in conformity with the law voted by
the chambers, and sanctioned by the King, the circuls.-
tion of bank notes belonging to the various financial
establishments of Germany will be interdicted in
Prussia. However, looking at the money crisis, and
taking into consideration the numerous representations
sent in every day, the Minister of Finance seems to hesi-
tate to carry out the measure. The moment certainly
does not appear well chosen. The calculation is that there
are bank notes of foreign banks now in circulation in
Berlin and the Prussian provinces to the extent of
ten millions and a half of thalers (nearly forty nrilliinhse
of francs). If the government executes strictly on the
let of January the enactments of the new law, t
can be no doubt that these millions will leave the strong.

DENMARK.

A letter from Copenhagen of the sth, in the Nord
of Brussels, says :
" We are still labouring under the effects of the coma
mercial crisis ; all attention is turned towards Hamburg,
for it is from that city that will come the saving or the
ruin of our commercial credit. All the palliatives which
have been hitherto adopted have been powerless to ward
ofi the danger. Old and good houses fall, others are
tottering, and all are more or less threatened. The
supreme council or general diet of the country is conf
•
yoked for the 14th Jan. It is well known that most o
the deputies have resigned their mandate for the
council-general, where they do not intend to apPe.ar•
T. he royal commissioner to the Diet of Holstein has jot
informed the peblic that the elections for replacing Baron
de Scheele-Plessen, Baron de Blome, Count Reventlow•
and Count Reincke, who had resigned, will take
on the sth Jan at Neumunster. The States of Lane's..
Bourg have declared in a memorial to the Diet of Frank'
fort that their two deputies to the supreme council will
not take any part in the deliberations of that body, So

th has last
transpired as to the resolutions adopted at
sitting of the Privy Council, and even the journals in
the confidence of certain ministers are unuseally. silent
on the subject. A long visit with the ex-nlinister
M. de Scheele lately made at court gives rise to a
supposition of a change in the ministry, and perh!ps
is a sign of a change in the foreign and domestic polio/
of Denmark."
London, England, 1857-12-11

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 6th say that Mgr'
Barilli, the Pope's nuncio, whose arrival in that
city has been announced by telegraph, made his earl
in a carriage and four, escorted by a detachment
of lancers, and followed by another carriage, eon'
taining his principal attendants, drawn by six mules.
He took up his residence in a house prepared for
him near the Puerta Cerrada. M. A. Conte, fib''
director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been.
appointed first secretary of the Spanish Legation
at London. The Novedades and Iberia had been
seized. From the birth of the prince who subse-
quently became Ferdinand VII., which took place
72 years ago, no male heir of the Spanish throne
had been born up to that of the Prince of Asturias.
It has been stated that the birth of this prince de-
prives his sister, now aged five years, of the title of
Princess of the Asturias, which was conferred on
her. When the Marquisa do Malpica, governess of
the princess, by command of the Queen, informed
her Royal Highness of the change in her position,
the little infanta, with dignity remarkable in one
so young, said, "I knew that when I should have
a brother I should cease to be the 'heiress of the
crown ; but I care not, since it makes my mother
happier ! Besides, I shall always have the same
rank as my Aunt Montpensier, and I will endow.
your to make myself beloved as she is !"

THE KING OF DELHI.

Mr. HORSMAN inquired upon whose authority the
life of the King of Delhi was saved ? (Hear, hear.)
Mr. V. SMITH said that if it was proved on the trial
of the King of Delhi he was not implicated in the rebel-
lion, his life would be spared. He would then be sent to
Allahabad, and afterwards cut of the country. Captain
Hodson found that he could not capture bun without
making the promise he had, and under that promise it
was impossible for the Government to do otherwise than
abide by it. (Hear, hear.)
EDUCATION.

Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that on an early
day after the recess he intended to move a committee
for inquiry into the present state of education in Eng-
land. (Hear, hear.)
TELEGRAM FROM INDIA.

Mr. S, WARREN a.ked it any additional telegram
had been received from India, and to what purport ?
Mr. V. SMITH—OnIy that published in all the
papere.

Colonel KNOX :asked which was correct. Two
had been publi6hed, one stating that when Gen. Cainpbell
crossed the Ganges on the 10th, it was with 1,500 men,
and the other was the 9th, and with 5,000 men. (Hear,
hear.) He wished to know which was correct.
Mr. SMITH said he was only answerable for the in-
formation received by the Government. Mistakes, how-
ever, might arise in figures in transmission.
PURCHASE IN TOE ARMY.

MEDICAL CHARITIES (IRELAND) BILL.
SUPPLY—DR. LIVINGSTONE.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in
moving a postponement of the Committee of Supply said
that it was proposed by the government to
devote a sum of money to Dr. Livingstone to
prosecute his discoveries in Africa and especially
the Zl.mbesee river, believing it might lead to
important commercial consideration, as it was a district
likely to produce cotton. (Hear.) As it was not in-
tended to take votes in supply before the recess,
he asked permission of Parliament to allow
GovernMent to advance 5001. out of the Civil Contin-
gencies, and take a discussion on it when it came on in
proper order. The reason for so doing was that if Dr.
Livingstone did not start in January,. the expedition
would be delayed another year.—Agreed to.
THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE.

Lard PALMERSTON said that as the course
Government wished to pursue was not to keep
the Homo sitting after to-morrow, it was not
his intention to move the adjournment of the house
till Monday, if the debate on the motion for appointing
the Bank committee was agreed to to night. (Hear )
The house would then meet to-morrow for the royal
assent to the Indemnity Bill, and adjourn for the
holidays till Thursday, 4th February.
GENERAL .11AVELOCIC3 PENSION.

Lord PA LMERSTON said that the Government, in
accordance with the wish of the house, would grant the
pension to General Havelock for two lives. That would
entail on the house the necessity of passing another
resolution on which to found another bill, and that would
be deferred till after the recess. (flear, hear.)

inquire into the whole subject.

ROBIERY ON Towns HILL. —Mary Nixon, A young
woman, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with
stealing a sovereign and a half from the person of
Heinrich Lubour, the chief mate of a Dutch ship.
The prosecutor stated that he was at present staying
at the Hoop and Shoe Tavern, in King-street, Tower-
bill. On Saturday night he was on his way home when
the prisoner accosted him, and asked him to treat her
He told her to go away, and soon got rid of her. Sue
accosted him again on Tower hill, near the Hoop and
Horse Shoe, laid hold of his arm, and put her hand in his
waistcoat pocket, from which she took a sovereign anti
a half sovereign. He laid held of her, and called police,
and a constable came up and took her into cu-t)dy.
The prisoner, in defence, said she was quite innocent
of the charge. She was walking quickly along Tower-
hill, and on reaching King-street the prosecutor took
hold of her and accused her with robbing him. She
allied for the police, and the prosecutor raised his um-
brella to strike her, and would have done so if a police-
man had not come up and saved her from the blow.
Frederick Bavan, a police constable, 145 fl, said that
at one o'clock on Sunday morning he heard the Wei of
police, and saw the prosecutor and the prisoner strug-
gling. The man charged her with robbing him, an' the
woman charged him with striking her.
Mr. Selfe—Well, I don't know wby her charge
should not be taken as well as his.

The policeman, in answer to questions put to him by
the magistrate, said he had known the prisoner a year
and a half as a prostitute. He was not aware she
had ever been in oustody before.

The prisoner said she lived in John-s‘reat, Spiral -
fields, and was in the lucifer-match line. She was
making her way to a shop to obtain some bread on
trust, when the policeman took hes into caaw 17.
Bevan said the man called out polled for .ofno time
before he arrived at the spot where the parties were
struggling. Directly the prisoner saw him she called
out " Police."

Mr. Selfe said the prosecutor really believel thy
prisoner was tla, woman who robbed him, but as there
was no confirmation of hie statement, and no money
found on the prisoner, he should d►scharge her.

DARING WATCH ROBBERY AT A PUBLIC HOUSE.—
William Gregory, a well-known convicted thief, was
charged with stealing a watch from the person of IVir.
Lemaire, the landlord of the King's Arms, Great
SoffJlk-street, Borough.

It appeared that between 12 and 1 on Thursday
morning, the 18th ultimo, the prosecutor was cleaning
his horses, and all had left except the prisoner and a
female. He held the door open for them to go, when
the prisoner snatched his watch from his waistcoat
pocket, broke it from the swivel, and ran off with it.
The female was detained, having in her possesion the man's
coat, but there not being sufficient evidence against her
she was discharged. The prisoner was, however, appre -
nended a week afterwards by 61 M, when he denied
having been in Mr. Lemairo's house.
Tne housekeeper to the latter said she was behind the
bar at the time, and she distinctly saw the prisoner
snatch the watch and run off with it.

Mr. Burchain asked what was known of the prisoner.
Sergeant Howlett, 29 M, said that he was tried and
convicted at the last January Sessions at Newington for
a similar robbery. He had also been several times
ummarily convicted, and was connected with a despe-
rate gang of thieve.
Mr. Burnham fully committed him for trial.

WOOL.

There is a very firm market for all kinds of English
wool ; but, owing to the high value of money,
no furthe r

qualities move off steadily at full quotations. Last week's
imports were 91 bales from Hamburg, 686 from Sydney,
and 880 from Algoa Bay.
The following are the current rates of English wool :-
