Two new Mining Associations, one for working the
mines of Bolanos, and the other for those of the Real
del Tlapujahu 1, in Mexico, were announced on Satur-
day as having been completed. The shares in the new
Associations were purchased at premiums varying from
2001. to 3001. each. The Association for working the
Mines of Tlapujahua has been one of the earliest pro-
jected in this country, although its formation has been
delayed by a dispute respecting the right of properly
in them between the Directors of this Association and
those of the well-known Real del Monte Company. It
ought to be mentioned to the credit of the Directors
of the Tlapujahua Association, chat they have delayed
its formation until the right of property had been fully
determined in their favour. Both these new under-
takings, we understand, are rather of a private than of
a public nature, the capital being small, and the num-
ber of shares not exceeding 1,000. Those in the Bo•
lanos mines are said to be alinost wholly appropriated to
the propi ietors of shares in the Real del Monte Mines. '

A dreadful accident occurred on Thursday evening.
at the New Church, Chelsea. The Rev. Mr. Rusn,
many years the Curate of St. Luke's, Chelsea; having
undergone the fatigue of the first day's contest in the
election of an Organist for the New Church, left the
vestry-room, which is situated at the back part% and
`.% as proceeding homewards on the north side, when un-
fortunately, the Rev. Divine, being near-sighted, from,
the darkness of the evening, WAS u4onscious of being'
so near to a low parapet-wall which projects several
tett on the pavement in front of the steps leading to
the vaults underneath, and in walking, forward was
piecipitated ssith tremendous force over the wall on
the pavement of the area, a depth of nearly fourteen
feet, although the fall was in a great measure broken,
by a Gentleman taking hold of the skirts of his coat,
who, however, had not a sufficient purchase to main-
tain it. He was conveyed back to the vestry,roorn in
a state of insensibility, and in that condition he re-
in.lined for upwards of twenty minutes, notwithstand.
I:Yg the efforts of several Medical Gentlemen, who hip-
pe,.ed to be present. They, however, succeeded in so
far recovering him, as to allow him to be removed
i'lme in a sedan chair. The Reverend Gentleman
received very severe contusions on the bead, likewise
sfte internal injuries, but no bones were brok \l'e
lire happy to add, be is in a fair way of iicOve; 7.

CATHOLIC RENT IN LONDON.

At seven o'clock last evening (Sunday). the Third 11
Meeting of the Friends or the Catholic Association in
London, for promoting what they term the " Catholic
Rent," took place in the Roman Catholic School-room;
in Dean-street, Soho. On this occasion the meeting
was very thinly attended, conipated with the two fo: mer
ones in the same place. Tne Committee had, as was
promised at the preceding meeting, persons at the doors
to receive the donations and subscriptions of the com-4
as they severally entered the room ; but calling
on them, at the same time, PT their names and ad-
dresses. Some persons were ostentatious enough to
comply with the request, on paling their penny or
twopence; and others went so far as to drop their
names and addresses in the box, along with their hum-
ble mite ;. but most of those present dropped their sub-
scriptions in the receiving box as they passed into the
room, without observing this form. A person was made
Chairman, bt't -nothing worthy of notice uccurred.

COLLIER, DOCK, RUI lIERIII7'HE.

--.Sr- -

Report had stated that the Plan of the celebrated Mr.
Brunel,for a Collier Dock at Rotherhithe was abandoned;
but the statement wa: erroneous. On the contrary, the
original idea has received from its inventor considerable
improvements, and is proposed to be carried into effect
on an enlarged scale. Large Depots fdr Coals are in-
tended to be formed in the vicioity of the principal
Bridges; and to these DeFots expeditious and unob-
structed communications are to be made by Railways.
Thus Westminster, Waterloo, Blackfriars, Southwark,
and London Bridges, will open direct routes to the
western, while the Tunnel will afford a passage to the
eastern parts of the Metropolis on the northern bank of
the River.: and on the southern bank, the Dock and
Depots will furnish a ready supply of Coal almost at
the door of the consumer. These considerations speak
strongly in favour of the situation which Mr. Brunel
has selected for the Collier Dock.
