BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY.

Yesterday an adjourned Meeting of the Proprietors
of the above Company was held at the London Ta-
yens, JOSHUA WALICIUL, Esq. M.P. in the Chair.
The business commencsJ by the Secretary reading
the notice for the present Meeting, which was an ad-
journment of the half-yearly Meeting, for the purpose
f taking the sense of the Proprietors as to the expe-
diency of accepting a dividend of 11 10s. per share on
the present occasion, or waiting until further remit-
tances of gold were received from Rio Janeiro, which
are daily expected.

The i:us.tasewu then read the half-yearly Report.
which was read at the last Meeting. It stated that the
Emperor of Brazil had recognized the right of the
Company to three of the mo.t valuable gold mines.
From t'lese mines 1,2141b5. weight of gold bad been
extracted, of which .7.461b5. had been received by his
Majesty's ship.Warspite, and 1541b5. by his Majesty's
ship Eclair. These two remittances produced about
18,0001. and a much larger remittance was daily ex.
petted. The Report concluded by the recommendation
of the Directors that a dividend of H. 10s. per share
should be now made.
Extracts were then read from communications lately
received from the servants of the Association in South
America, which were of a most favourable character.
M. CAYIPEILL said, that the Report of the Meeting
was calculated to satisfy the expectations of every rea-
sonable mind. He therefore proposed that the Report
be received, and that the dividend of H. 10s. be now

made, according to the recommendation of the Direc-
tors. He understood that if the expected remittances
were received before the day appointed for the payment
of the dividend, the Shareholders would receive ano.
ther 11. 101.

The CHAIRMAN signified, that the intention of the
Directors was stated by the Hon. Proprietor.
Mr. GIBSON then seconded the resolution, which
passed unanimously.
A Proprietor said, there was one subject on which
he conceived it most important that he, as well as the
public, should receive some information. It was stated
in the House of Commons, last Session, by a Member
of Parliament, who took a great interest in the aboli-
tion of the Slave-trade, that the mines of the Associa-
ti4 n were all worked by slave labour. Now his in-
quiry simply was, if the circumstances they stated were
really the fact?

The CHAIRMAN, after conferring with some of the
Directors, inquired whether it was the wish of the
Meeting that he should answer the question put by the
Proprietor T—(Many voices called out, " No, no.")—
The Chairman said, that as it seemed to be against
the feeling of the Proprietors, he should not answer
the question.

Tile Proprietor said, that the question he asked was
one so simple in its nature, that it admitted of no eva-
sion. It was extraordinary that there should be any
reluctance to answer it ; and, whatever might be the
feeling of the Meeting, he considered an answer was due
to him as a Proprietor.
Mr. Gtasow said, that no doubt any of the Hon. Di.
rectors could answer the Proprietor's question ; but very
likely the answer would be misunderstood in a large
Meeting like the present. But it wv a sufficient reason
that the sense of the Melting was against answering
the question ; and he hoped that the veinal to answer at
would not be improperly construed. He concluded by
moving the thanks of the Proprietors to the Chairman
and Bwird of Directors. which passed unanimously.
The cIiAIRKAII returned thanks, and the Meeting
adjourned.

Saturday sennight, Mr. Samuel Hart, bricklayer,'
Suffolk, a Gentleman somewhat about the age of 70, kd
