Tmust therefore generalize. 1 think, str, th none of us have approached to a proper sense of the future interest of great land. lessons of his- tory fall far short in force and in eloquence when at- tempting to describe the mighty fature with which it appears to the human eye. ‘e have now, gentle- men, the opportunity of laying the foundation of the m , the manners, and the wills ,of those who will come after us; and if the city has quintupled its population in the lifetime of not very old men, what ithmetic can be used to calculate what it will come ‘to when we are passed away’ Think, then, of the responaibliies which rests oe us in furnishing a rich and liberal foundation of learni) for those who are to follow. The political economists of the old countries will ca!culate for you to a nicety what in- crease will take place in them by propagation,or what decrease will be effected by so called salutary calami- ties; but where is the Malthus learned enough to tell us ‘what the population of America will be ina few short ? believe, sir, extravagant as it may seem, at the whole world wili be here. (Cheers.) The nations of the Old World are decrepid, and rendered effete by constant marriage with their own race. France, Spain, and Germany, present to-day the game apy ices as when they were described by Tacitus; for although civilization and religion has changed the habits and morals of the people, their faces are just the same, the result of what may be termed incestuous intercourse. Here it is no longer the marriage of brother German, or brother Frank, sister German, or sister Frauk, but the marriage of a people invigorated by the infusion of blood from every part of fone lobe. Here we have improved the stock by a Sadiolous crossing of the breed; and, notwithstanding some nonsense which we hear about the Angly-Saxon race, I can see no difference be- tween the grandchild of the ’renchman, the German, or the Englishman; but I can see, that from this napp, gamation of race, will be sent forth the a es of freedom to go to revive the sunken nations of the Old World. This sir, makes me anxious that our youth should be worthy of their high vocation. Willa University then be allowed to go down for the baleen ofa few thousand dollars, when we know the effect which must result from its want in fifty years? Weigh the disgrace which will fall upon your city if for want of proper timely support this institution fall er be transformed into a source of error. Rich men! think of the want of a University in this Fe sen when its population shall be two millions of , and answer me, can you appear confidently before your God and say that you had the means of so oe to the people but would not do it? But, at same time, think of it with its streets thronged with two ions CT a dancer then of the walls of this SNe containing within a chair for a professor in each department of bide teaching the thousands of the growing wy ith.

The rich men of York can now transmute, by a blessed al , the gold which God has given them into the virtues, the dignity, and the grandeur of the people of that great nation which will flourish upon is territory w! they have passed away. I de- sree the contemptuous manner in which some gen- lemen sneer at the diffusion of colleges, and say— “Oh, a college in a wilderness, what’s the use of it?”’ Bir, I regard a college or a school in our distant vil- ages, frail, and tottering though the edifice may be, with the same feeling with which I could . View's young giant in a cradle, for | am assured that the weakly germ will become a mighty tree, under whose Shadow thousands will soon rest and drink in the waters of learning and life. The reverend gentleman here reviewed the collegiate endow- ments of other countries, and proceeded :— Take the nation of the Dutch. Why, sir, in the days of her prosperity that country, with her small popu- lation of two and a half millions, founded five noble universities, from which were sent forth men of the most radiant and glorious names. Groetius! Gro- tius! way ,it was worth the expense of the Lat ore ntire five to give to the world that one man. at Germany, with a richly endowed and firmly founded university for every four millions of her entire population. Munich, which is only one fourth as large as New York, and a young city, has been adorned with a magnificent university, under the ntunificent patronage of her deposed king. It is & gem of beauty, with its one thousand students and its library of halfa million of volumes. And after these examples of royal exertion,will republican New York, with one hundred thousand monarchs, and a revemue fifty times ae than that of the King of Bavaria, fail to establish one university,but rather let one perish? Gentlemen, you cannot shake off the Tee of this question. Isa mighty republic afraid to the human mind, and are monarchies more de- siroug to elevate it? In Paris it is refreshing to see the mechanic, the carpenter, the mason, or the brick- layer, returning from his daily toil, walk into the Jecture halls of the greatest universities the world has yet seen, and, placing the tools of his craft in a cor- ner, listen to unequalled in‘ talent or eloquence. of professors wil you see that in New York?’ No, sir; | for, notwithstanding all that has been done here in the er the children of the poor, the instit is not popular enough. I want to see this Universit, rogre ing, and ite difficulties swept away; with halls open to the journeymen me- chanies of the city, as they return from the burdens of the day. Don't permit yourselves to condemn it for its embarrassments. It got in debt in 1837 and 1838, when our money affairs were inflated to a point of ruinous bursting, and if you blame every private in- dividual who became involved in those years, few will escape unscathed. It is easy to censure, more 80, ps, to some, than to applaud. If the insti- tution has had difficulties, not a dollar of the money has been wasted. It is all here, in your noble pile and the ample halls of this building. You can no more on an institution of this sort without money than you can make bricks without straw, and the New York University will stand either as the gi or the shame of the city. Your wealth cannot r eapares than to make it the latter. A Man wants but little money duriag his time here; he can only spend in a lifetime a few thousand dollars, noless ih to be as many—I regret to say it— are, what I call vulgarly ostentatious.

Theodore Parker delivered a lecture upon the above subject last Thursday, before a crowded. audience, He said it seemed to be the aim of the | material world to inake perfect the animal man, who | appeared to be the blossom in which the whole tre® was to come to perfection at last. “The fur which warmed a monarch warmed a bear.” It was meant primarily to warm the bear, and subsequently used | to warm the man. It was made for the bear and for the man. It was the aim of the animal man to pro- duce the spiritual man; in short, as it was the aim of the material world to prepare for the animal man, so does the animal world prepare for the gentleman, First came the rude races, then the more intel- lectual and higher races of men, commencing at the lowest point, and sloping up till it reached the highest, all history seeming to prepare the way for the fully expanded man. The gentleman was the man whose faculties were all harmoniously developed, and in that way distinguished him from the mere animal man. All around were seen elements of men partially developed—such as a good seaman, a good mechanic, a good lawyer, and so on, who were distinguished in one point, but were deficient as regards the whole. A man might gain the repu- tation of a sent —leving all other considerations aside—and thereby fose the quality of a man, for, after all, man was the thing to be spun into a saint. He instanced the case of adeacon—and that was all he was. His manhood had merely been shrunk into deaconhood. As for the gentleman, his faculties were all harmoniously developed, and all in the pro- per place. You see a handsome woman—and the: arg not rare—but it is not the little hand, the little waist, or the: little foot, that was admired, but the whole form—all the parts being subordinate to the whole, and not the whole tothe parts. Hercules was Tepresented as of great strength, with large legs, | broad shoulders, huge arms, and a neck thicker than the head. Strength was here represented, and not intellect—there was no place for that in the small art above the neck. Mercury was the god of ora- rs, Of lawyers, and of thieves—I did not make the mythology. (Laughter.) He is represented with an eye of amazing sharpness, a mouth which might be as flucnt as the Mississippi, with a general appearance that would at once denote him to be a dangerous man to deul with; but in the higher speci- mens of Grecian architecture the parts are made to conform with the whole, giving @ more just conception ofa god. A gentleman isa manly man, with all his faculties harmoniously developed; but all men are unable to obtain these developements, which, notwithstanding, they admire in others, and wish they were so themselves. When a man got at the heart of his heart, then he reached the idea of a true gentleman. In our day there were two ideas of & gentleman—one was the false, and the other the true. At least it was so about the meridian of Bos- ton ; it might not apply to this latitude. The false idea, or ale gentleman, was the abstract of vulgar gentility, and he need not be fully developed. Money was his basis, and as net to him as brass in a church bell. A miser might not be considered a vulgar gentleman, because he did not squander his money vulgarly; but he might, notwithstanding, be the father of vuly gentility, standing in the relation of guano to tulips. One of the qualifications of the vulgar gentleman was that he must not work with his hands, and he reared his children in accord- ance with that idea, who, from hardy farmer’s boys, were turned, by a gradual process, into lawyers, or something else of the sort, so as not to be compelled to perform manual labor, which dis- qualified him from being a gentleman. To be a vul- gar gentleman, he must have money, a fine house, elegant furniture, and rich dresses, for without a fo dreas'he would not be a gentleman. He need not ave large intellectual culture, or good taste; still leas the habit of bountiful benevolence; and least of all, any of those lofty qualifications which dignify man out of his estate. remarkable eminence is not to be expected of him in any particular. He is sub- ordinate to his money only, and is valued by it. The lecturer here sketched the process by which a poor New al tee farmer’s boy was gentilized into a merchant, rich and opulent, forgetting in his pros- perity his origin, ipring with contempt upon his poor relations, and at last coming to the conclusion, | notwithstanding the pious precepts he received at | home, that “Money makes the man, at The want of it the fellow.” Sitting, some rainy Sunday afternoon of a win- ter’s day, in his room, beside a blazing fire, he holds communion with himself. He remembers | the country Bible, and asks whatis it, and the | city says, ‘‘the bank.” What is the one thing | needful, and city answers “money.” Then he | asks what is money good for, and finding that it is good for everything, lly, on reflection, comes to the sad conclusion that he was born poor. | He resolves to amend, and er his sons to des- | pise de Gap his daughters to loathe and scorn every one who works for a living, thus making them more vulgar than himself. The true idea of a gen- | tleman was ampere reverse of a one. He became so by modifying his manhood into more man- hood—tried to be a greater man—laid a stratum ovor it, then another and another, because he had the | power of thought, of heart, and of soul, which was true riches. He would have the stamp of the true gentleman upon him. He was not subordinate to public opiiae tae was subordinate to him; wished good and did good ; was not desirous of securing eminence, but was satisfled with what he was. He respected himself, kept every faculty in its place, and respected every other man—reverenced what was venerable, laughed at what was ridiculous, and was | patriotic in what was right. The true lady was the feminine equal of the true man. She was made by the same artist, only taken out of a little finer clay, and stamped in a little finer form. The speaker, in conclusion, doubted not that the time would come when it could be said that— : “Rank is but the Lene stamp, Man ig the goud for a’ that!’ The next lectnre of the course will be delivered on Thursday evening next by Ike Marvel.

Burrows, Penniman, and Goodenow, members of the House Committee on Naval Affairs; Messrs. T. Ritchie, F. P. Blair, Washington Irving, and Thackeray. The party were received on board of the caloric ship by Captain Ericsson and its commander, Captain Lowber, and were at once conducted to the engines, which had been put into Lene for the pury of facilitating tha examination. ‘These were inspected closely, and with the deepest interost. Questions were asked on every con ceivable point connected with their construction and working, calling forth explanations that appeared to give entire satisfaction to all prosent. The theory and prac- tice of the whole have been too recently placed before the public to render recapitulation necessary. All that was seen on the first and second experimental trips at New York was realized again yesterday; the engine room, quite cool and untainted in its atmosphere; the furnaces in full play, with a depth of anthracite coal not exceeding three inches in each; the valves in full play; the cylinder, albeit at work, so cool that a bare hand could be placed upon it without discomfort for any length of time; and the shaft revolving at the rate of about four and a half times ina minute. The ship being at anchor, no greater rate could} safely be attempted. During’ her trip, however, from New York, the revolutions per minute were about nine, and that number did not indicate the capacity of the engines. Although at work during three days without intermission, it was stated, as an illustra. tion of the moderate temperature of the engine room, that the cylinders were even then not unpleasant to tho touch. The coal consumed on the trip did not exceed four and a half tons per day. Having listened to Captain Eriesson’s lucid exposition of the modus i of his invention, several of the visit- ers addressed themselves to the artificers and workmen in attendance. One of the operative engineers stated that he and nearly all employed in the dopartmeat bai boea previously employod in similar capacities in the Atlantic steamers, and that nothing could exceod the contrast, One engineer, one fireman, and one “greaser’’ are on duty at a time, and their respective labors, he said, are light, and by comparison, pleasant. Ho added, in reply to ques- Hy tions put by one of the naval engineers present, that the heavy weather encountered atsea had not, in the slightest particular, disarranged any portion of the machinory, which worked as smoothly and ellectually in the gale ai in the river. Some of the naval officers descended to the freight deck, while lay gentlemen mounted to the saloon deck, or insti: tuted, in groups, an inspection of the saloons, sleeping cabins, and all the et cetera of a first class ship.

The following bill—which is certainly a curiosity, both in literature and finance—was presented for liquidation to the Senate of Rhode Island, on the 2ist instant. It shows the expense te which the State has become liable for the seizure and destruction of two gallons of cherry rum—an act which was supposed to have been made legal by the recently declared unconstitutional Liquor law of that State. It contains two or three very novel items, such as requiring the aid, as the charge indicates, of six men—able-bodied, of course—at one dollar each, to assist in securing the before-montioned two gallons of cherry rum; one dollar is also charged for pouring upon the ground the said obnoxious beverage; and fifty cents is claimed by the no doubt corpulent’ justice, for his services in very quietly witnessing the destruction of the liquor. The bill will probably find » place in the next edition of the “Blue Laws.’’ Here it is:— State of Rhode Island Dr. ‘To Amos Palmer, Town Sergoant: For seizing and destroying a demijohn of intoxicating liquor, under tho act entitled ‘An Act ¢ Suppression of Drinking Houses and Tippling Shops,’’ said liquor ad- judged to be cherr; ‘and in quantity from two to ry rum, three selene, in Richmond, county of Washington, on the 12th of September, 1853, on complaint of said Amos Palmer, Town Sergeant in the said town of Richmond:— For service and warrant, see $100 For aid, six men 7 °6 00 For advertising, 100 For destroying , 100 Total, o MOS PALMER, Town Sergeant.

The officers sent from Arkansas to urrest Col. Thornton are now hero. This requisition, as we learn, is grounded on a charge of forgery, during the time Col. T. held the office of Fiseal Receiver of the State Bank of Arkansss, while that institution was in liquidation, six or eight years ago. Such a charge is heard here by the many friends of Col. T. with much pain and surprise ax he has been esteemed among us as a gentleman of irreproachsble character, and known to be an exemplary member of the church. The statement is made by some who profess to be informed, that the accusation originated in a olin of bitter party hostility, Col. T. having been for several years a prominent man in one of the two wings of the democratic party of Arkansas. The News gives the latest items from the Legislature : The bill for fiuleting the titles granted by Austin, beyond the limits of his co! , and which a year or two ago threatened a civil war between the old grantees and new posrde has become a law, those titles being all con- irmd. Anappropriation of two hundred and forty thousand dollars has been made for the' improvement of our rivers. Of this sum, the Trinity, the Brazos and the Colorado are to have $37,500each, and other rivers smaller amounts. ‘The Apportionment bill has become a law, by the Gov- ernor pvt haying returned it within five days. It differs but slightly from the bill of last sestion. ‘The Austin American sayw of it :—The act leaves no chance for increased representation under the oonstitu- tion. New counties cannot be provided for. The additional number of members. will add to the expenditures of the State and retard the transaction of business. When an attempt shall be made to equalize Tepresentation—to take from some counties and adi to others—to make the number of electors composing sena- torial and representative districts gwater—then will | | houses of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, autho- riging ® settlement of the account between the State and the United States Bank, on the payment by the latter of $150,000 to the State Treasury. The Maryland Legislature have rej permit the banks of that State to conti of notes of a less denomination than five dollars. The receipts of the Philadelphis, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad, for January, 1853, amounted to $60,825 57; January, 1852, $53,959 49; gain—(over twelve per cent,) $6,589 11. This has been realized without the through freight from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which the Wilmington road is not yet ready to take. The Troy and Boston Railroad Company offer for sale $150,000 of its convertible bonds, being the ba- lance of an issue of $300,000, which is secured by a first and only mortgage on the entire road and its appurtenances. The bonds bear interest at the rate of seven per cent per annum, payable semi-annually, | in this city; principal payable April Ist, 1864. The capital stock paid in amounts to $431,000. This come off a fierce struggle, in which much sectional feeling will be engendered, and it will be impossible to effect these objects without changing the present State consti- ution, ‘The Auditorial Board, which was closed in September, 1851, has been re-opened till the lat of September, 1853, The Internal Improvement bill failed. ‘The bill setting apart two millions for a school fund waa passed; but the bill loaning this fund to railroad compapies, at the rate of $4,000 to the mile, failed. The Galveston and Houston Railroad charter passed both branches of the Legislature finally on the 3d inst. It is granted to William C. Lacy, of New Orleans; Thomas P. Anderson, of New York; and Wm. M. Tuck, of Galveston. A bill has passed the House, and gone to the Sonate, putting all the railroads chartered on the same tooting in regard to donations of land. It gives each and all sixteen sections of land per milo. ‘The American, from which we copy the following letter, says the rancho of San Ignacio is forty-five miles bolow Laredo, and has for yeors been subjectod to Indian dep- redations. The persons killed were respectable citizens:— LaREDO, Jan. 25, 1853. Since my last news has just been received that a party of Indians—about twenty—crossed the Nueces below Fort Elwell, and took the direction of the Saltiador, where they passed on Saturday morning, the 22d inst.” and about midday they arrived at San ‘Ignacio, and killod, within fifteen hundred yards of the rancho, two men, one called Cesario Zapato, and the other Pedro Garcia. They left one severely wounded, and took off a youth of about six- teen years old. The names of the two latter I have not been able io find out. The Indians teok all they could et at from San Ignacio, and then went to Salvador Cuel- r’s rancho and took all the enimals he had there, but killed nobody. ‘The moment the information came here, Lieut. Burleson starged a party after thom, and Salvador Cuellar went voluntarily to guide them—sonsequently hopes areentertained that the savagos may still moat their well merited chastisoment. pt. Shaw and his party are still absent, and, doubtless, will sce the Indians more than once before he gets back. There are several Indian rumors here, but the only injury done up to date 4s tha qbove, You are well aware that now is the time the Indians begin come cown to Kill and steal. The sugar crop of Brazoria comnts ae the last year was 8,202 hogsheads, valued at $328,080, with 17 000 barrels of molasses at $136,000, There are ‘about $2,500,000 in vested in the county in sugar making. ‘There are still some thousands of acres of the very best sugar and cotton lands to be sold in the county, which are priced at from three to seven dollars an acre. The Houston Register of the 11th says:—Great excite- ment has been created in the towns on this sido of the Rio Grande, opposite El Paso, by the discovery of some very valuable s‘lver mines on the eastern slope of tho mountains, about sixty miles northeast of Donna Ana. ‘The ore 1s found in immense quantities directly on the surface of the ground, and several tons of it have already been gathered and transported on mules to Magofiinsville and smelted. The ore is so rich that the silver is extract- ed readily by melting it with » common log fire of pino. Lead ore is also found in extensive veina, traversing the rocks in every direction. Wo are informed that thousands of tons of lead ore, similar to that obtained at tho lead mines near Galena, can be gathered on the surface of the round, onthe mountains east of Kl Paso. There is a hill near the silver mines that might with Bropriety be styled the lead mountain, as it seems to be an immense mass of galena or lead ore. If we may believe the ao- counts of persons who have visited these minos, they must be far more extensive and valuable than any of the mines in Illinois or Wisconsin. ‘Thousands of emigrants are settling in the countios on the upper portion of the Trinity, and the roads between the Trinity ana Brazos are literally lined with emigrant wagons, The rosd between Dallas and Waco is so thoroughly beaten by the numerous emigrant wagons, that it resembles one of the great turnpikes in the East- ern States. Many of the e:migrants are from Mi mourl and Ilinois, and they intend to settle in the northern counties, where they can raise wheat and other grains similar to those that are cultivated in the Northwestern States. The emigrants who commenced the culture of wheat in those counties afew years ago, here raised as fine crops as any that aro ruised in Missouri or Illinois, and as the test wheat land can be purchased for fifty cents au acre, one may reasonably expect that the far- mers of this seotion will, in a few years, be enabled to furnish flour for all the cotten and sugar growing coun- ties in the States. Forxrren Consv: ienry Ambrosio has been recognized by the President as Cousul of the Kingdom of Sardinia for the port of New York. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Scnvay, Feb. 27—6 P. M. At the close of she stéck market yesterday, abetter feeling was visible, and the tendency of prices was slightly upward. Quotations current at the second board yesterday, compared with those ruling at the close of the previous week, show a pretty genoral decline, The mmey market has, for some days past, been a little stringent, but it can hardly be said that capital is scarce. The demand has been active, while the supply bas been just about equal to it. The same state of things exist here as we receive accounts ofin Europe. Fer the legitimate purposes of trade, a larger amount ofcapital than usual is required, and it is this that hascreated the stringency. The enor- mous speculative movement in real estate has caused a demand for mozey somewhat larger than usual, but speculation in the stock market has been confined to a few coal stocksand other smal! fancies, which have becn steadily working down to points somewhere in the vicinity of their rea! value, and the wants of stock speculators generaliy have been com- paratively limited. In real estate there has been an immense inflation in pricos, and an immense amount of capital is required to carry proporty of this kind, at the present market value. This, with the daily increasing wants of the commercial classos, will keep the money market stringent, for a time at least, and it may briug about 2 very tight time before the season is over. ‘The outward movement of spocie has, thus far this year, beon comporatively limited.

In making the alteration, two figure 2’s—one at each end of the bill—are extracted, and 20's inserted, very | skilfully. The words Two Dollars, in the centre of the bill, are likewise erased, and Twenty Doilars in- serted, 80 as to deceive the most careful eye. The word two, printed in red, also in large letters, in the | centre of the bill—and which has been regarded as a safeguard—was taken out so completely as to leave no trace of it whatever. The annexed statement exhibits the condition of the Bank of Connersville, Indiana, on the 14th of February, 1853:— BANK ov ConneRsvintx, INDIANA.

The navigation returns of France for 1852 show the following results:—There were employed in all the ports of France, (outwards and inwards), 240,779 ships, having an aggregate tonnage of 11,734,325, and crews amounting to 1,241,254 men. The ten ports of France which principally contributed to this result are the following, placed in the order of the amount of tonnage appertaining to each:—sarseilles, 15,366 ships, 1,672,323 tons, 133,960 men; Havre, 9,615 ships, 1,254,607 tons, 88,101 men; Bordeaux, 15,997 ships, 669,422 tons, 72,834 men; Nantes, 14,935 ships, 680,843 tons, 61,573 men; Rouen, 6,215 ships, 541,355 tons, 37,724 men; Calais, 3,337 ships, 390,021 tons, 64,318 men; Cette, 3,903 ships, 367,- 487 tons, 32,726 men; Dunkirk, 4,439 ships, 362,177 tons, 31,871 men; Boulogne, 2,340 ships, 323,330 tons, 30,395 men; Dieppe, 2,017 ships, 191,021 tons, 14,903 men. The Supreme Court of the State of New York has decided that all subscriptions to the capital stock of railroad companies, are binding. The Troy and Bos- ton Railroad Company brought a suit against George E. Tibbits, for the recovery of an unpaid balance of a subscription of $20,000, upon which $1,500 had been paid. Various technical objections were raised as to the binding of the subscription, but the Court decided in favor of the company, and ordered a ver- dict for the plaintiff, for $18,500, and interest from the time the calls were made. ; The annexed statement exhibits the value of mer- chandise, other than dry goods, imported into this district during the week ending and including Fri- day, Febraary 25, 1853; ij Communck or ce Port ov Naw York—Wageuy IMrowrs, Value.

At this rate of incrsase, it would not require much time to ron up a heavy balance against us in our foreign trade that would take a food portion of the specie in the Wall street banks to pay. Fortunately, so far, prices for our cotton an@ breadstuffs have been well sustained, and our credit abroad has been well preserved. Railroad bonds and other securities have been freely rem'tted, and found markets at fair rates. But for this we should have been in @ tight place. There is great danger yot. The imports are likely to continue heavy, while we have no guaranty that our staple exports will oon- tinue in active demand at remunerating prices. The movements of the Bank of England are not calou- lated to aid much the negotiations of our securities abroad. They may call home a great deal of money temporarily invested in this country. The finanoial horizon is by no means clear and cloudless. We annex the fourth monthly (Jannary, 1858) re port of the Great Northern Lead Company : Great Nonruxen Leap Company, Rossin, 5 wrence Co., Feb, 19, 1868, wuve Cowerns — y Inst monthly report, the work at these eded as follows: At Coal Hill mines her is complete; has been tried and foand te swell, In order to avoid manual labor in rai the ore to it, we are erecting ap elevator, which will be ished on the 22d instant The ties dnished in the ing house are found to answer very well, three mea iout to dress twenty tons of raw ore per day. we shall begin regularly to dress the ore of 8, and will commence smelting. ‘The engine sbaft is cut down withia fourteen fect of the botiom, On the first of March we shall be nearly, or quite, ready to begin to sink the three shafts. From time we will date the actual commencement of regular mining under ground at Coal Hill. I vory much regret that we have been obliged to lose the past two months im cutting down the shaft, a thing we could not foresee, a8 it was under water when we commenced; and having bees guided by the information of the former manager, that this would be founda large shaft, we fixed our engine there secordingly. The result has been as L have just stated—« loss of two months in getting the under ground work com- menced in the course of the ore, and a considerable addi- tion to the capital which would, under the expectations formed from the knowledge I possessed when J reported to you in November last, have been required. Of the pre- nent value of the ground at Coal Hill, nothing new can be said in addition to my report of last month, excep: that the addition is improving, and the ten fathom le is not 80 good. At the Union mine an improvement has taken place ta the sixteen fathom level going east, it being now worth full $400 per fathom. haft is worth $150 fathom, and will be down to the sixteen fathom level the last of the month, when we will pitch to drive ways. Collins shaft is down eleven feet below the fathom level, and ia worth $150 per fathom. e have ‘now got rid of twenty-three surface which reduces our monthly cost. ‘The whole number ef men working in January, were three smiths, eleven car penters, forty-eight miners, sixty-one laborers, three whim boys, two engineers, one pitman, and one timber- man—in all one hundred and thirty men.
