The Deke oF SUTHERLAND havin, to the assembly, the following short address was read and presented to her by the Earl of Shaftesbury:— “ Madam—I am deputed by the Duchess of Sutherlaud and the ladies of the two committees appointed to con- | duct “The Address of the Women of tngland to the Women oi America on the subject of Slavery” to express the high gratification they feel in your presence among them this day. “The address, which has received considerably more than half a million of the signatures of the women of | Great Britain and Ireland, they have already transmitted to the United States, consigning it to the care of thos | whom yon have nominated as fit and zealous persons to | undertake the charge in your absence. “The earnest desire of these committees, and, indeed, we may ray of the whole kingdom, is to cultivate the mest friendly and affectionate relations between the two and we cannot but believe that we are fostering sued a feeling when we avow our deep admiration of an ‘American lady who, blessed by the possession of vast jus and intellectual power, enjoys the still higher g that she devotes them to the glory of God and | the temporal and eternal interest of the human race.” | | ‘The Rev. Mr. Bexcuer (Mrs. Stowe’s brother), after a few prefatory remarks of acknowledgment and thanks, read the following letter, which had been written to his sister -— “My dear Mrs. H. B, Stowe—While Iam fully sensible of the email results of my efforts in the cause of emanci- pation, I will not deny that your appreciation gives me great pleasure, and. 1 trust, not ignoble pride.

In the course of her observations she stated — The ladies of Encland are not at all aware of the real state of feeling of the ladies of Ameriea on the subject of slavery; it must not be judged of by the answers sent to the address, nor by the #tatements in the American newspapers. The ladies of England seem not to be at all aware of the deep feel- ing of sympathy with which ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ was received in America long before it was known in England. The press in America had invariably spoken highly of ‘Unele Tom's Cabin the first word that ever ap- peared in Big agninst ‘Uncle Tom's Cabio,’ wae the article in The Times. Thin was reprinted and re echeed in our pspers. and widely circulated in the form of a tract. The bitterness and anger manifested against the ladies’ address showed how much its force had e1 raged the advocates of slavery. You in England a happi'y ignoract of slavery; yet that address has shown your itm rympathy is very awnet, There is no feeling really between the ladies of the two countries, but the ladies of America can- not. because of their husbands’ persona! and political feeling, stand forth and say what they feel on that sub ject. Some have said that ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ is now forgotten; but it should be mentioned that sixty thon- sand copies of the ‘Key to Oncis Tom’s Cabin’ were’ rold in three days. ‘The praetical question is, what can be done to forward thir great work’ I look first to God; but men also can do something Sympathy must continue to be exprested, British subjects in Canada must be edu cater, the use of free-grown cotton must be encouraged; wuch are the ways in which thie great work may be aided by the people of England, rememberiog that, after =o issue in in the hands cf Him who ordereth all things,’” The company beran to disperse soon after five o'elock.

When the bills were presented they were dishonored, a# RO specific funds bad been set avart for them by Con- gress; but it was sta‘ed at the trial that an act re- cently passed for that purpose, to whieh was attach- ed the condition that sn sums only should be paid as might be recovered by judgment in a court of law. Under these circumstances, the bills being en- dorsed to the plaintiff, and the defendant being in Eng- land thissction was brought At the trigl, which was fully reported on a resent occasion, the only contention was the rate of interest to be paid by the defendant, the Jain tif claiming that of ‘orvia in 1847, which the jury found to be 25 per cent, and the defendant insisting ‘that the rate of Washington ought to prevail, that being the place where the pills were made payable, and the rate being six per cent. The learned Baron directed the jury to give the Wash- ington rate, reserving leave to the plaintiff to move to in- crease the verdict by the difference.

The geographers testified their warm syprobation of the sentiments which were expreas- ed by the president in respect of M. Bellot, as an Officer who united the gallantry, promptitude, and skill of hisown vation with the sturdy perseverance of a British seamau, and which further expressed the hope that a person so rich in scientific resources, and so en- dowed with good sense, might at no distant day be em- ployed by bis own government as the chief of a separate survey. Adverting to other services of M. Bellot in Freneb sbips which co operated with the British squad- rons in the river La Plata and op the coast of Africa, the President congratulated the meeting on the nomination of an officer as corresponding member of the society, who was beloved by all the Englishmen with whom he had served, and who was a perfect type of the right feel- ing which matually prevailed in tke naval service of the two countries, Liextenant Bellot made a very suitable and effective reply, whieh was highly applauded.

Major General the Hon. H. © Cavendish had been ac- quitted by a Court of Inquiry of military charges preferred against bin. France. Advices from Paria, under date of the 10th instant, state that upon that morning M. Billault informed the Corps Legislatif that the Emperor had signed a decree prolonging the session, which should have elosed on the 18th instant, to the 28th instant. The Assembly divided gon the jury bill, which was adopted by a large majority. ‘The votes were :—For the bill, 210; ‘inst it, 15. The forest law bill was also adopted b; votes against 13, This bill provides that the statute which prohibits the cutting down of timber on their lands by the proprietors, without the authority of the government functionaries, shall remain in force for another term of three years, When the post left, the Assembly was evgaged in a discas- sion on the pensions of tbe civil service. ‘The Assembiée Nationale newspaper announces that the Frencb government bas heen informed by M. de Lacour that the question of the Holy Places is Gnally setded, and that questions of secondary importance only will form the subjects of further negotiations. The same journal states that the differences between Austria anc Sardinia are tending to an amicable settie- t; that the tardmian Ambassador will return to ba, and that the refugees whe are neutralized in S will be freed from the consequences of the seques- tration. Allusion had been made, in resent letters from the East, to c'sims on the part of the Greek government against Turkey. These have relation merely to the three villages on the northern frontier. The value of the land in ques- tion is of the lowest, and it only affords pasture for goats. The question has been subviitted for arbitration to the Powers, and will be arranged by them. There ix bo idea that anything disagreeable is likely to result from these claims. The question of the Pope's visit to Paris for the coro- nation had been again revived. Private letters from home, of very recent date, speak of that fact as more than doubtful. It was resolved that, whether his holiness go or pot, the coronation will take place in August, and the ceremony be performed at Notre Dume by the Arch- bishop of Paris, assisted by the Archnishop of Kheins, the French cardinals, most of the prelates, aad several foreign ones.

The cabinet makers of the Fau bourg =t' Antoine had received numerous orders: and the jewellers and dealers in bronze and fancy articles were bury and not dissatisfied. The orders of the latter were be deparsments and for abroad, particularly from Sonth America. The corn trade was Gull as ever. The quotations were maintained, but very little business was doing in the markets. An advance of if. per sack was quoted, out the sales were of such little importance, and the supply whi arvived in Paris so insignificant, that the reserve was r duced to 49,600 metrical quintals, Tne best quality of flour was quoted at O6f. the sack of 157 kilogcammes, and inferior from 40. to 51f. Ia the meantime the farmere refused to part with the remaining stock of wheat at the present prices, and the slightest revival of #peculation would inevitably be followed by a rise. Some orders bad been received at Bordeaux and Bayonne for Indian corn for kngland, but more for Ireiaad. Rye maiatained ita price, and was becoming ha! day more scarce in conse- quence of exportation to Aelgium. The Ppp of land were to ® certain extent indemnified for the low price of wheat by the increased demand for beef, mutton, and pork, The healthy appearance of the mulberry trees in the south had occasioned a deoline in the price ef raw silk in the markets of the Drome and Ardiehe, anda further fall was expected All the silk frames at Lyons were ac- tively employed, and the manufacturers received nume- rons orders for exportation. The demand for ribands at St. Etieone was greater than at apy previous period. The accounts received from the wine growing were satisfactory. The vines are as yet but litt vsnced, and it ix expected that they have escaped serious injury from the late fronts. Considerable consignments ot wine bad arrived from Burgundy. the Cher, and Or- leans, both by river and railway. The wine-growers, who had caxefully reserved their stock in hopes of a rise, had resolved to clear their cellars, for the coming vintage. trom Beziers state that the vines had received it from the late rains.

In reference to the pending difficulties between Austria and Piedmont, a letter from Vienna, dated May 5, contains the following — Count Rechberg did not reach Verona until the 29:h April, and consequently the relations between the Impe rial goverpment and those of Sardinia and Switzerland have undergone little or no change since my letter of April 24th was written. The opinion that Count Rechberg is ewpowered to make concessions in the sequestration question is very prevalent here, but credible ivate in- formation induces me to believe that such ia the case. A seene which recertly occurred in the second chain- ber at Turin is considexed a convins proof that the Sardinian cabinet is beginning to of a con. stitutioral form ef government, sae the fact that 1s have @ strongly pronounced talent for be- lieving what they wish, must not be lost sight of. That the Sardinian government is resulved to render the demo- cratic ty an harmless as possible, is, however, pertect- ly evident. The circumstance above alluded to may be related in a few words. Some production of Mazzini’s had been seized, and this led to an interpellation on the partof Brofferio. The reply of the Minister of Justice was, that he was firmly resolved ‘‘to proceed with the greatest severity a thst incorrigible party, and those dangerous individuals who were the cause of all the evile which pow weighed upon Piedmont.”’ He would conclude neither truce nor peace with such people, but employ ull the means in bis power against the revolu- tionary press. Count San Martino, the Minister of the Interior, went still further than bis colleague He ob- served that ‘+ as he respected legality aud coastitutional- ism only up to @ certain point, he would not shriok from wise arbitrary mea+ures should circumstances ren- der them neceasary.’? The question as to how the go- vernment had obtained possertien of the proof sheets of Mazzini’s book was replied to by M. de Sen Martino with singular candor. He said, that as there were few things in this world which had not their price, the sardinian government bad, for money, been able to procure the proof sheets of Mazzini’s book. She demosratic press did not represent the real political feeling of the country, and therefore the government was determined to suppress it, “af necessary, by extra legal means.”” Belgium.

Russia and Turkey. The fellowing 1s extracted from the Paris correspond- ence of the London Times:— " Letters trom Constantinople of the 25th speak more favorably than previous aceounts, ot the position of af- fairs. if these letters can be relied on it wold appear that the deroands of Prince Menschikoff with referesce to the be Jy places, began to be well understood. He had declared thot bir Imperial master wae opposed to ‘the cupola of the repuleare being repaired on the moce! of the antient architecture, as bad been desired by the French Mivister, das had been promised. Theve repairs, be in: , shenid be executed in the By zantine style. He, moreover, objected to the Latins claiming the right or being allowed to pray two days a week on the tomb of the Virgin, as bad been agreed be- tween Fuad Effendi aodthe Marquis de Lavalette, and he demanded that they should be permitted to exer- cise only the same right accorded to the other Christian communities. that of offering their de- votions after the Greeks had concluded their yeligious seremonies. With the view of preventing a re- currence of the dissensions and misunderstandings on that quevtion, the Rusvian Envoy deemed it absolu‘ely neces- tary tbat a formal diplomatic engagement should be entered into between Russia and the Porte. It appears that Lord Stratford offered no opposition to the views of Prince Mensehikoff Some weeks since I mentioned that the French government would not be sorry to have an occasion of disembarrassing iteelf of this very trouble. some affair, and the letters Lrefer te say that M dela Cour appeared ta acquiesce; and it was under these cir: cumstavces that the sultan, after consulting with the French Ambassador, bad made up his misd to comply with the demands of Russia. For these reasons the ques- tion of the shrines was regarded as all but terminated. M. de Ja Cour had a conference with Rifsat Pasha and Arif Effendi; and did uot appear to make any oppo- rition to the diplomatic engacement. and the English Muister was no less satisfied with the solution of the question of the Patriarchate. Prince Menschiko? was waiting for instructions from St, Petersburg to present his ultimatum. He appeared desirous that the solution of the question of the shrines should be comprised in a paragraph of the convention relative to the Patriarchate, and the protection of the Greeks in the East. On the other hand, it was rumored at Constantinople that on this very dekicate matter of the Greek Patriarch the Sul- tan would not yield—in fact, that he had declared so— and that Prince Menschikoff felt so much annoyed that he threatened to quit Con+tantinople, and would hi done so but for Counta Nesselrode and Ozeroff, who pre- vented him rrom at onee breaking off al] negotiations with Rifaat Pasha. The accounts from which I quo'e add that the arma- ments, which had been suspended for @ time, were, in courequence of orders said to have been received from St. Petersburg, resumed. “With respect to domestic affairs, the family of the Duz,”’ the letters add, “appeared to be in the highest credit Tbe Duz, in accord with the Grana Vizier, made al the official appointments. Mirza Duz, his uncle Cara Let Bey, and bis cousin Dirhay Doz together with Selim Bey, First Chamberlain of the Palace, formed a barrier round the Sultan which the highest functionares are una- ble to break through. For that reason the Grand Vizier does not seem to occupy himself much with the diftic es of the present political position of the Porte” Thirty renegade Magyars, who had been removed from the service by Omer Peeha in pursuance cf the engagements contract- ed with Austria, had arrived at Constantinople. They asked to be allowed to serve in the Asiatic possession-, but no deeision had been adopted by the government. It was rumored at Constantinople that the Russians were ex- citing the Greeks to invade the Ottoman territery, and that the Divan had given orders to repel force by foree In the event of ap attack, Other accounts confirm substantially the above, and speak confidently of the speedy settlement of the ques- tion, both as respects the Holy Shrines and the Patriarch- ate. Wirh reference to the Protectorate of the Eastern cburch, it ia alleged that the Russian Eavoy declares that the Emperor desires only one thing, nately, the guaran- tee on the part of the Porte that all clauses stipulated in the berats. or letters of investiture of the Patriarchs, shall in future be «trietly observed. If such be the case, the affair tbat appeared at one moment so formidable’ will soon be terminated. It was rumored that Prince Mens- chikoff would soon returp to St. Petersburg. and that Lora Stretford’s «tay at Constantinople would not be long. It is said that Abd ¢l-Kader has become tired of hia resi- denee at Brovrsa, and is most desirous of returning to France On the 224 a conference took place between the Rossian, English, and French Ambassadors on a terri torial question, in which the Greek government was in terested. This also wil be arranged. Tarkey. Letters from Censtantinopie, of 27th ult., say that no change had teken place inthe position of affairs, The suspension of the biockade of the Albanian coast had in a great measure calmed the excitemeat ef the inhabitaate of that provinee. M. de Tacour had sent the Caton (French) steamer to the bay cf Salamis. The British steamers Wasp and Tiger were then at Constantinople. ‘A telegraphic despatch from Smyrna, dated April 27, states that, yielding to the menaces of Russia aud Aus: tri, ‘the Turkish government had resolved to expel! ail the political refugees from the territory of the Ottoman em- pire.

The Prinee of Canino is said to have'received « summons to appear before the civil tribunal of Rome within three movthe. The cause 1s not set forth in the document, but it would appear that, in case compliance, the Prince may forfeit not only his civYl, but like wise his re- ligious rights, those xeveral rights not being distingt in a theoeratic régime. The consequence must be that the Prince runs a chance of being declared a “ heretic,’’ should he lose his suit. The Prince of Canino has, it is believed, submitted this unexpected summons to the Em- peror of France. Piedmont. The anniversary of the festival of the Constitution had been celebrated upon the Sth inst., at Turin. The king, the queen, the ministers, senators, and deputies, and the foreign ambassadors, among whom was the Count Appony, attended divine service in honor of the day. The King held a review of the National Guard and the troops of the line, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the population. The second day of the festival closed with # general illu- mination. The greatest order prevailed throughout. Malta. . The British fleet was still in the harbor on the 34.

Loxpox Money Marker, Tuesday evening, May 10.— Today the Chancellor of the Exchequer made known, through the Bank of Evgland, that his plan for the con- version of Console, Reduced Threes, and South Sea stock, is to be at once carried into effect, Books have there: fore been opened at the Bank of England and South Sea House for the purpose of receiving the names of those parties who are willing to convert their stock into either of the three new denominations of stoek, viz :—The ‘Three.and-a-Half per Cent, iesued at £82 10x. per cent; the Two-end-a-Half per Cent, issued at £110 per cent; or Exchequer bonds, bewring 23 per cent interest. Owing to its not being generally known that the books are alrea- dy open for this purpose, the amount subseribed for to day was not very considerable. but subscribers will now in all probability flock in quickly. The stock markets today were nearly stationary, but still flat in tone, owing to money continuing in demand, both within and without the Stock Exehange. Indeed it would appear that at present business is mainly check- ed owing to the uncertain course of the money market. The consols market remains speculatively strong, but stock is freely supplied, and money has commanded fully Sper cent and upwards in the house to-day. doors the demand for accommodation continues active, and by the Lombard-street discount houses no relaxation of terms is made, although some of the banks are doing business a little under % per cent. The knowledge that gold continues to be steadily exported to the Contirent also contributes tocheck the otherwise upward tendenc: of the stock market. Otherwise circumstances seem much in favor of prices. The accounts from the manufacturing districts continue to be of the most favorable character. The commercial advices from New York may also be re- ferred to as satisfactory. Consols have again ranged betweea 1005¢ and 100%, the closing quotation being 1005 to 100% for money on Thursday. and 107% to 101 for the account of the 1st June, immediately after which the dividend will be takea off. The contango to ‘next time”’ generally ruled at one- eighth to three-sixteenths. The business done to-day wax almost entirely for cash. The supplies of silver by the Magdalena have not yet been old, The demand for India has to a great extent ceased: snd owing to this circumstance, and the altera- tion in the exchange, just wade by the East India Com- pany, it is expected that the sale cannot be effected e: cept at a reduction of three-eighths to one-balf pence per ounce freza the rates previously current. Canada Five per cent bonds are marked in the official list of this evening, 102%; ditto Six per cent, 11614 to 7; ditto Ontario, Simcoe, and Huron Six per cent, | Liverroot Corton MARKET, May 10.—The market closed tamely and firmly, without change in prices, The sales are estimated at 5,000 bales (500 token by speculators and 500 by exporters) and comprise 70 Pernams and Ma- sanhams, at 6344. to 7d. ; 20 Bahia, at 63; 400 Egyptian, at 5%4d. to 9d.: 400 Surata, at 334d. to 43/4.

MaNcurster, May 10,—There has been rather more bu- sinesa in yarns and cloths, and producers are obtaining higher prices in consequence. the Ganves of Waautoe bave given notice for an advance of tem per cent on wages, aod the manufacturers of that district are unwil- ling to take contracts un'ess with proportionate iocrease of rates, Forties mule yarn are scarce, in consequence of interruption of production from s inners. Turnouts at Mossley and neighborhood. Producers met with ready sales geverally, st fully Inst week's rates. Leeps Wooiex Clotn May 10,.—There hes been a rather quieter market to day. Goods are now so high that the merchants are generally indisposed to purchase beyood their present requi ents, unless an indacement is offered by the manufacturers by accepting lower prices. This they show little disposition to do, as with the pre- sent hich rate of the raw material they have no chsnce whatever of replacing present stecks; hence, there is less business doing than there was.

We have not the first item of news to report in financial affairs, Wall street is in a very quiet state, and the stock rmarket is almost deserted. The excitement of speculation has entirely disappeared, and we see none of thove eager, anxioas faces poring over our brokers’ stock books, and closely watghing every variation in prices. The brokers have the business wholly to themselves, and it is our impression that it is far from being « profitavle one just now. At the first board to-day there was a very moderate demand for stocks generally, Parker Vein ad- vaneed 1% per cent; New Creek, 14; Cumberland, \. Morvis Canal deslined 44 per cent; Crystal Palace, 5; Florence and Keyport, % ; Hudson River Railroad, 1{; New Haven Railroad, 2. There appears to bean upward move- ment in New Creek.

The financial and commercial intelligence is of little importance or interest. All the principal markets remain without change. ‘The rise and progress of mining on this side of the At- lantic is practically illustrated in the fact that shares in the Montreal Mining Company (2£ 10s. paid), after de- clining from 2s. ¢d. each in May and June, 1862, to le. in July to October, advanced to 3s. 94. in November, 18s. 2d, im January, 25s. in February, 31s. $d. in March, and holders were, on the 26th of March, asking 32s. 6d.

Two wore steamers of the line established between this city and Baitimore by the Parker Vein Coal Company, were launched at Philadelphia yesterday. Two will be launched next week, and two the week after. make the whole number afloat ten, which will give a daily departure from each end of the line. By the first of July all the steamers launched will be in active commission. The four now making regular semi weekly trips between 200 the two cities, go and come filled with freight, and are doing a very profitable business. The amount of mer- chandise coming this way is so great that the company have been unable to bring any quantity of its own coal to this market, and they will not be able to go extensively into the coal transportation trade until the line is com, pored of at least fifteen or twenty steamers. By Septem- ber we may look for large receipts of coal from the West- erpport district, when its superiority to that from the Frostburg istrict will be fully demonstrated. The Cum- berland Miners’ Journal of the 20th iast. gives the an- nexed remarks relative to the progress of mining in the | 400 Westernport section of the Cumberland coal region:— The indications are that in a short time every availa- ble acre of the big vein coal in this region will be in the hands of active working companies. Several new com- panies have been chartered, which intend to commence This will | operations in the George's Creck Valley. Among them | we have already noticed the Oeean Steam Ship Coal Co., whose valuable lands lie in the immediate vicinity of Lonaconing. This company, we understand, will proba- bly make the connection with the Mt. Savage Road, at the foot of the Frostburg hill, and so organize their opera: tions ssto employ the Cherapeake and Ohio Canal their chief avenue to market. The parties interested are not only gentlemen of large capital, but of great energy and enlarged views. As soon as their arrangements are completed, they will. we'feel confident, make their mark on the Cumberiand cosl trade. In the meantime, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company are beginning, under the auspices of the new President, to manifest a disposition to foster the trade. They are Mendily progressing with the second track be- tween Cumberland and Baltimore, having already laid a considerable amount of rails for that purpose. They have also recently turned out a number of new oval cars, and have, we learn, ordered 250 in addition to the 7 already in progress of construction which are to be dis- tributed pro rata among the companies. At this time they are crganizing a train of coal cars to serve the companies in the George’s Creek Valley: and it is now almost certain that in a short time the Parker Vein, Lonaconirg and Swanton Companies will be accommo- dated with # reasonable amount of transportation, We have seen a letter from Mr. Williams, of Gold Hill- N. C., which confirms the statement of Mr. Goddard, with reepect to Bordan’s Amalgamator, in every particular. Mr. Williams has ordered two more machines forthwith, and states that he hopes tohave fifty working simultane- ously before long. ‘The report of Dr. Charles T Jackson, Assayer to tho State of Massachusetts and the city of Boston, and State Geologist to Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and the United States, in relation to the copper mine of the North Carolina Copper Company, has created considerable excitement in mining circles, and turned the attention of capitalists to that section of country, for the develope- ment of its immense mineral resources. In consequence of the interest exhibited in regard to the rise and pro gress of the North Carolina Copper Company, we have wade liberal extracts from Dr. Jackson’s report — Nort Canorswa Correr Company, The mine owned by the North Cerolins Copper Com- pay was originally opened with some suecess ax a gold mine; but the copper pyrites were soon found to form #0 large a proportion of the veinas to warrant Mr Fentress, the original proprietor, to offer the mine for sale in New York asa copper mine; and it was purchased by several es of this eompany for the purpose of workiag it ‘or copper The unparalleled success of the first mining operations, the production of ® profitable cargo of good copper ore from the first shafts sunk, and before any ip levels had been excavated or grade work begun, is certainly quite unusual success: for it is very seldom that the pre- paratery es ations of mining are repaid by the mineral raised in those operations; but more frequently asness- ments are called for on the shares to pay the cost of the work. Not only has your mine heen worked without ao; call upon the shareholders for money, but # considerab! profit is understood to have been realiaed from the sale of copper ore raised from the sbafts constructed in the opening of the mine. On the 25th and 26th of April last I made thorough examination of this mine, surveyed the vein, and mva- sured it in #ll accessible places where it was exposed. I found the rocks of the ‘‘country”’ to be a soft, bright, yellowish green talcose slate, very analogous to serpen- tine rock, overlaid oy @ variety of gaeixs, having horn: blende in the place of mica—a rock sometimes called horn- Dlende gueirs—and underlaid by « fine-grained comp:ct hornblende and feldspar rock, analogous to greenstone, but still not in the form of a dike, but of a regular bed.” In the midst of the soft talcore slate ocours a large vein of quartz, accompanied with numerous smaller veins of the same material, The quarty veins ia the little shaft A. form an aggregate of 2 feet 4 inches in thickness, one being 10 incbes thick, another 8 inches, and a third 8 inches. and those veins converge towards each other ax they dip towards the whym sbaft B, and appear to unite with the great vein exposed in that shaft. Coppper py- rites oecur abundantly intermixed with the quartz of all the veins. ‘The shaft A is sixty feet deep, and cuts the veins too near their outerop to be in an advantageous position; still there has been obtained from it « considerable sup- ply of copper ore, by working down the slope of the vein toward the whym shaft B. The whym shaft was sunk still farther on the slope of the vein, but not far enough to te it Now of sufficiently ex- ded working of stopes or grades. It was, therefore, decided upon by the miners to sink a new shaft atill fur: ther to thenorthwest, in order to at ack the vein at a depth of about two hundred feet. This shaft will be the engine, or principal shaf of the mine, On descending into the whym shaft I found that the vein of quartz rish in copper ore was 6 feet 7 inches thick, and that on ita lower side there was a regular vein of clean copper pyrites 1 foot 414 inches in thickuess The quartz vein itself was full of nests and bunches of convengre mingled with » erasil proportion of highly erystalfvved tin-white iron pyrites. an ore which has not been analyzed, but whieh probably contains arsenic, and | perhaps cobalt. ; 6 great quartz vein containing the copper ore, dips N. 25 degrees, W. 35 degrees on the cipher aide, and 45 degrees on the lower side, thus presenting an opening of five degrees in the angle of the vein, a widening which is too rapid to be other than local. ‘There ix evidently a tendency in the great vein to be come more vertical in its dip; for while in shaft A the dip is but fifteen degrees fom the horizon, in the why pod B, 48 feet further N. W. we find the dip to average jegres It is very desirable that the lode should have a more vertical dip, for the work of mining is much more simple on erect veinn, since the perpendicular shaft work keeps longer near upon the vein, and therefore is lees crosa cutting required, and fewer wiozes have to be sunk in the levels, The sitnation of the mine is now sueh as toadmit of ex- tensive and profitable work, so roon as the levels are run on the plane of the vein in the whym shaft, and stope- ing ground ix thus opened. Meanwhile the engine shaft must be sunk at the point D in the section, and then you will bave a new and Mop eat npon the lode. There rhould be two gangs of miners em d; #0 that while the dead work in the engine shaft it ing on, the mining opera- ticnsen the Jose at the whym shaft will pay for the ~~ work, as they will, and also yield a large profit be- siden ‘Tbe cr gine chaft will not cost more than $3,000, if the | | were m: it saetination. It will ie the fee it proven tobe BS Gags iteh more , 80 that the engine shaf' will not cut it at 217 feet, a cross cut is easily to be mad to the lode, and there yi ap advantage in hav ing that shaft at a low level, ‘will drain off all water from the mine. I shall therefore approve of t con: of the new shaft, as has been proposed b; your head miner. The whole thickness of the strata over the copper I find to be 158 feet. Imade a survey of the vein, and, so far as ica. bie, have determined its course on the property of company. I found that the course of the vein was N. Gegrees E.. S. 45 degrees W. dite dip is N. 25 We; from 85 to 45 degrees averaging, therefore, 40 de- grees dip ‘Th Sengiat of the vein, if it extends on its course to} thi laries of the company’s property, is 1,810 feet; nemely, 1,452 feet to the southwestward of shaft A, 358 feet to the northeastward of the same shaft. not be known, of course, whether the lode is rich through-| out the whole of this distance; but from the ascertained| fact that shaft C, which cuts the outcrops of the shaft A, disclosed the ore as usual at that beled ares lent bee below will be rich also. The ma; as sufficient!, proved fr thal distant ee of There is abundant reom for mining operations on the} vein, now exposed by the ‘already executed, warrant the belief that the mine cannot fail to yield 4 hig! orobable vein holds its at the and a vein = table returns for many years; and it is that additional disco will inorease the value of Mtae feck that, fi twelve feet e fac , from a space twelve feet square, and five feet high, your mivers, while ‘cueavation thee shaft, extracted 50 barrels of No. 1 ¢0) ore, which about 800 pounds per barrel, the ore yielded 24 cent of copper, will give some idea of nich copper vein, which is yet not opemed so as to give anything like its full yield of ore. In conclusion, I would congratulate the North Carolina Copper Company on the possession of the richest and best known copper mine in the Atlantic States, and one of the most productive since its opening was made. I - eno doubt it will prove of great value to the stock- olders. The execution of the work of opening a mine is gene- rally laborious, and requires several years. You have been singularly fortunate in having a mine that pays ics own expenses, while the regular preparations for more extended workings are in progress. a Stock $10000 U S 6's, °56.43 109 11000 US 6's, "62... 116 5000 U8 6's, '67, 1000 U 8 6's, °68. 8000 Id C Def’d 5's,. 10 800 Penn State 5's 96 1000 California 7's. 86 2000 Elst Mtge bis 11734 3000 ERRCbda’7) 53 9834 3000 do.......53 98 3000 H2d M 3 103g 2000 Mich 8 RR bds 103 10 shs Bk America, 114 73 Bank Commerce... 10934 15 Am Ex Bank... 1393¢ Bees RK S wR 229, on 20 Knickerbocker 5k 101 32 Shoe & L’ther Bk. 101 80 Continental Bank 101 50 Ohio Life& Trust 107 450 oe Canal..33 2114 lo. seeses seeesee” gs RRR 150 ‘Monday 213¢ +b60 21 +3 100 Harlem RR Pref’d 111 50 ee mn River RR.
