FOREIGN NEws.-The steamer Africa, which
arrived at New York on Sunday brought thres
days la ter news from Europe. Her dates an
to the 18th February. The statement that
Lord Elgin was to be sent to China again
was contradicted in the House of Commons
by Lord John Russell who also stated thatbe
would introduce his Reform bill on the LIST or
March. He also stated that correspondence
was going on with view to admitting British
vessels to the coasting trade between the
eastern United States and California. The
proposed annexation of Savoy to France had
been noticed in the House of Lords, and in re-
sponse to an inquiry addressed to him by Sir
Robert Peel, Lord John Russell stated that
Sardinia had informed England that there was
no engagement or intention to code SAVOY to
France. Also, that England had informed tbe
Swiss Government that, in case of the aunexa.
ton, England was not prepared to abandon
the neutrality of Switzerland, guaranteed by
all the Great Powers, and was determined not
to do so. 1t was the opinion of hcr Maiestys
Government that if there was to be any annex
alton, Savoy should be annexed to Switzerland.
The commercial treaty with France had been
criticised in the House of Commons, and the
Conservatives showed considerable hostility 10
it. The French Government has concluded ia
the matter Of the annexation of Savoy to defer
to the decision Of the Great Powers of Europe.
| 1t is stated that a commercial treaty similar
to the one between France ard England is
about to be negotiated between France and
| Prussia. No new engagements between SpanisI
forces and the Moors are reported A dis

Silver Mining in Mexico.

A company was formed in New York city
rome months since, for the purpose of work.
ing the rich silver mines Of Seuterion,
State Of Chihuahua, Mexico. Their pos,
sessions, to which they have perfect title,
embrace $4,000 acres, through the whole
extent Of which the silver can be traced,
Five distinct mines are owned by the com. +.
pany, besidea much valuable agricultural
land. The houses and works are already
erected, and fine water power obviates
the necessity Of expensive machinery From
60 TO 100 men have been at work for more
than year, getting immense quantities of
ore to the hacienda, convenient for reduo'
ton. Mr.. @. Chapman, the Superintendent
of the mines, sailed from New York about
seven weeks since, with so tons of ma
chinery, built in that city, including mill
for grinding the ore, capable of reducing
to an implacable powder 1872 tons per "a
hours. AS the poorest cores found on the
place yield $50 per ton, and as the cost Of
extraction is comparatively small, labor be,
ing very cheap and the ore easy of reduc'
tion, it can readily be seen that return is
promised the stockholders unequsled by
any enterprise Of the day. The directors Of
the company are men Of wealth and influ-
ence, and as the working capital 10 all paid
in, and the works at the mines in successful
operation, speedy remittanoes of silver may
be expected.
