Broad-street-buildings—Sir J. Goldsmid in the chair. • The
report stated that a general improvement in the prospect of
the Company's mining operations had taken place since the
last meeting. The quantity of ore raised in the six months
ending the 29th of February last was 4,930 tons, its richer
quality, and the diminished expense of working, greatly
augmenting the profits. Of this ore. 3,189 tons were sold,
and produced 34,7341. 4s. lid., the remaining 1,741 tons (ex-
cepting 305 daily expected to arrive) are in Swansea, and a

A good deal of discontent and murmuring pervades the
repeaters at the probability of the unavoidable postponement

counsel for the defendants felt it their dub- to address their
Lordships.

According to some of the Paris papers authentic accounts
have been received of the dismissal, by the Emperor of Mo-
rocco, of the two general officers who beaded the Moorish
troops: in their late attacks on the French camp at Leila Ma-
gronia. It is also said that strong hopes are entertained of a
speedy arrangement, as the French Government does not de-
mand the expulsion of Abd-el-Kader from the Moorish ter-
ritory, but his immediate removal from the Algerian neigh-
bourhood, and the assignation of a fixed residence for him
under the responsibility of the Emperor in one of the towns of
the most distant frontier.
On Saturday next, the anniversary of the death of the
Duke of Orleans, a funeral service will be performed at the
cathedral of Notre Dame, and in all the Catholic and Pro-
testant churches in. Paris. The King and the Royal Family
will, it is understood, le:lye on Friday for Dreux, where a
funeral service will be performed in the chapel in which the
late Duke is interred. On their return the Royal Family will
proceed to St. Cloud, and reside there for some time.
The King's intended visit to Eu appears, says the Presse,
to have been postponed, as several of the royal carriages
which passed through Aumale a few days ago have returned
to Paris.
It is stated in a letter from Algiers that the Duke d'Aumale
is about to return to France on leave tier three months. Ge-
neral Count de Larue will act as Governor of the province of
Constantina during the absence of the Royal Duke.
It appears by a letter from Algiers that the attempt to or-
ganise a corps in Algeria mounted on camels, which was at
first a failure, has at length been successful. Three hundred
men, mounted in this manner, accompanied the last expedi-
tion, and manoeuvred to the perfect satisfaction of the officers.
The whole of the Chambers of the Cour Royale sat to-
gether on Monday to decide upon the difference which has
arisen between the first President, M. Seguier, and the b4r.
The court sat at one o'clock. The members of the Council
of the Order of Advocates were present. The proceeding
lasted from about a quarter before two till six o'clock, when,
after deliberation, the Court ordered the letter sent
by the
Council to the President Seguier to be suppressed, and in the
most honourable terms warned the bar not to again commit
a like offence.
The crops of more than 100 farmers have been destroyed

A few days ago, as some Piedmontese workmen employed
on the canal of Marseilles were extracting stone from the
quarry of Montribal, an enormous portion of rock gave way,
and, falling upon them, killed five, and so seriously in-
jured four or five others, that their lives were despaired of. A letter from Stockholm, June 20, says :—" The Com-
mittee appointed by the Minister of Commerce to repair to
China, to establish commercial relations between that tountry
and the kingdoms of Norway and Sweden, have just set off
for London, where they will embark for Canton direct. The
President of this body, Liljewalch, is one of the richest ship-
owners of Stockholm. He is at this moment the owner of
52 machant vessels."
LAW AND POLICE.
Mr. Sergeant Atcherley, who, it is understood, will te
Mr. Justice Erskine's place at Oxford circuit so
long ash s
Lordship's indisposition may prevent his performing his judi-
cial duties, opened the Commission at Abingdon on the 10th.
There are about eight causes entered for trial. The calendar
contains the names of 25 prisoners, and it may be thus
analysed :—lnfanticide, 1; concealment of birth, I ; cutting
and maiming, 1; arson, 1; forgery, 1 • sacrilege. 1 ; abduc-
tion, 1; horse-stealing, 1; rape, 4; andlarcepy, 13.
In the Court of Queen's Bench an action was brought by
Mr. Jones, the landlord of the Three Tuns, in the Borough,
against Mr. James, the Secretary of the Middlesex Reform
Registration Society, for election expenses, incurred in his
capacity of chairman of an election committee for promoting
Mr. Pattison'a return for the City at the last election, which
Committee met at the Three Tuns.—Verdict for the plaintiff
—Damages, 22/. Os. 9d. The Court at its rising adjourned
for the long vacation.
At Guildhall, Mr. Rickards, an omnibus proprietor, was
finally examined, charged with exposing a gelding for sale in
Smithfield-market, on Friday last, knowing it to be affected
with the glanders. The evidence of Sergeant Lambert, anti
City-policeman 18, was read over, to the effect that the horse
was tied up to a rail with the healthy horses, and that while
it was under examination at the veterinary surgeon's, the
defendant came in, owned the horse, denied the right of the
police to interfere with it, and said it was just the case ; he
wanted to try the question with the police, who had been too
officious in similar cases. After hearing evidence as to the
diseased state of the horse, Mr. Alderman Hooper said he
should require Mr. Rickards to find bail for his appearance at
the next sessions, and direct the City Solicitor to prosecute
him. Mr. Rickards was committed in default of bail.
Mr. Clive, the sitting magistrate at Wandsworth, gave his
decision in a case materially affecting the interests of water-
men. A few days since George Lee, a labourer in the employ
of Mr. Hooke, a contractor, of Nine-elms, was summoned
to the Court, and charged. under the 102 d clause of the
Watermen's Act, with unlawfully acting as a Waterman by
navigating twelve sticks of timber on the River Thames, he
not being a freeman of the Watermen's Company, or the
apprentice of a free waterman. Mr. Clive said the defendant
had clearly made himself liable to the penalty imposed by
the Watermen's Act, and he should inflict it, but in a miti-
gated form : Instead of fining defendant the extreme penalty,
101., he would inflict a fine of 20s. and costs. As the costs
were heavy, the fine was afterwards reduced to 10s.
At the Thames Police office, James Brigden, a cow-keeper,
of Gulston-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Bro-
derip, on a charge of causing the death of Ann Jones, a mar-
ried woman. The prisoner was driving a horse and cart, in
which three other persons, along Stepney-green at a furious
rate, and he approached close to the kirb opposite to the re-
mains of King John's palace, and the deceased, who was in
company with another female, named Wilson, was knocked
ylown by the horse, the off wheel passed over her body, and
she was taken up in a lifeless state and bleeding profusely
from the ears, nose, and mouth. She expi,-.4 ahnost
'Tarn& several witnesses proved that lie was in-
toxicated, and driving in a reckless and furious manner when
the occurrence happened. Mr. Pelham advi I 1 the prisoner
to reserve his defence, and Mr. Broderip reale/iced him Ilea
week.
