meeting of the shareholders in the above Associa-
tion took place on Thursday, at the office of the
Association, in Great Winchester-street, T. A.
CURTIS, ESq., in, the chair. The Report stated
that the Trustees felt peculiar satisfaction, in ad-
verting to the fact of the society being in posses-
sion of a property, legally leased end made
over, containing an ahnoft inexhaustible supply
of the richest ore, from whickthe metal is so easily
extract..d as not to require the common pro.
cess of stamping mills. That the Association were
not put to the expellee of machineryots the mines
were worked by manual labour; four miners
could break 1001. worth of copper per day. That
the trustees felt great regret in adverting to the
death of Captain J. D. Cochrane, and three of
the miners; that they had sent out a surgeon to
watch over the health of the miners, end that
the miners had written a letter, expressing their
grateful sense of the attention that had been paid
to their comforts; that the mines were in full
work ; and that General Bolivar had written a
letter, confirming their title to the mines. Thel
Chairman referred the shareholders to the seve-
ral letters from the agents which lay on the table,
and said that the trustees would ask for money
very, sparingly, and if they received the copper
which they expected, no further call would
b.. maces at ull events, more than 1/. per
share would not be required. The Report was
ordered to be printed, and a copy sent to each
proprietor. The Account stated that there was
0,4521. in the agents' hands, that they had coo-
per to the mount of 1,8001., and valued the
steam-boat n four thousand pounds. A vote of
thanks to the Trustees for their zeal and at-
tention to the interests of the Ptoprietors, and to
the Chairman, were carried unanimously. The
Chairman returned thanks on behalf of the
'Trustees and himself, and the Meeting adjourned.

A letter from n 11 (late(. M 1
—er..ll, _arc 13, says—
" We are assured that the Russian courier, who
left this place to-day, has with him dispatches
from the Russian Court to the French Govern-
ment, in which the Emperor Nlcitur,As declares
that he will not interfere in the affairs of Greece
without the concurrence of the great European
Powers, and that, for his own part, he is willing
to have the Holy A Ilial4.e dissolved, and a new,
liberal, and general compact entered into."
The Lords of the Admiralty having ordered
that all sea-going ships should be provided with
their full is ar complerneut 'of Marines, Lieut.
a. J. Delacombe, a serjeant, corporal, and 14
privates, have been added to the crew of the

fry the tables of M. Hassel, of Weimar, it ap-
pears that the population of the empire of Rms.-
sin, nt the death of Catherine 11. in 1790, amount.
ed to about 33,000,000: and in 1825, at the death
of Alexander, in consequence of conquests from
the Turks, and re-captures and conquests of do-
minions in Poland, the amount was b 0,000,000.
In the course of three centuries and a half, the
power, in point of population, of the Russian em-
pire, has multiplied itself more than eight times;
while, in extent of territory, it has been in-
creased nearly twentytimes.
The Nantucket inquirer states, that while
Lord ByitoN was at the Sandwich Islands, he
assisted at. the Coronation of the new King. A
part of the ceremony consisted in crossing two
swords over the Royal bead ; one of the weapon,
being held by the Prime Minister, Billy Pitt,
and the other by Lord BYRON. The latter,
after going through the august rite, turned to the
populace, and blandishing his sword, exclaimed
in Engli,h, " Now, d—n ye, obey the King !"
A hair-cutter in Boston advertises that " after
great study and profound research, he has at
length discovered the true Venus de Medicis
and the ,A polio Belvidere style. He can, by,
the perfection of his art, convert the grave moral-
ist into the fop, and the dandy into the piffles°.

HORRID BituTALlTY.—Lust week a case of
unheard of brutality took place in the parish of
St. Thomas, Oxford. A man bad a dog whose
lower jaw was longest, and be actually cut the
flesh from the end of the jaw, and then sawed
part of the jaw, off with two teeth in its sewing
the flesh up to the part that was left,
