and all tbe other dykes that either ramify from, or runs in collateral lines with this grand trunk must be secondary to it in bulk and importance.This view of the subject, is deduced from a close observation of all the established local facts that have hitherto been brought to light, and is in strict analogy with what we know of the dynamics of active volcanoes at the present day.To this great arteryj then, we may reasonably look lor the principal! lodes and deposits of mineral wealth ; but, I) have doubts whether any portion of it comes sufficiently near to the Lake navigation, to make it available for mining iu the present state of the country : future improvements in the shape of Railroads, improved river navigation, and the opening up of the country by industrious settlers may place the matter on a different footing.But, independent of this great Dyke which we have reason to believe holds its course along the higher range of mountains, at distances varying from ten to thirty miles inland from the coastline, there are veins enough contiguous to the Georgian Bay, and the River St.Mary, many of them actually cropping out into the water, and offering the fairest facilities for the extraction of their contents.But, some one may ask, will it pay ?This question I shall meet with another, will mining pay any where?Does it pay in Cornwall?and Wales?where the lodes are so poor that 3 per cent, of copper is considered a fair yield.Does it pay in Germany ?where the lodes are no richer, and I believe not so regular as they are in Cornwall.Does it pay in Australia ?where your distance from market is half way round the world.Does it pay iu Mexico or South America?where every disadvantage, local, social, and political meet you at every step.If mining does not pay in these and other countries, it is very strange that shrewd and practical men should pursue the business with so much of both energy and confidence.But the plain truth is, that mining as a business does pay, and pay handsomely in the general aggregate ; for, although some mines may be unprofitable, and others dead failures, still others are always to be found in the same districts that more than make up the balance : so that whenever the business is carried on with skill and energy, it is sure to be a general source of profit to the men who invest their capital in it, and one of the greatest sources of wealth and power to any govern-ent that happens to have the good fortune to Lake Superior ) In addition to these large^ tracts of good arable laud, now lying waste on these locations, could be laid out in Park Lots of from five to ten acres, which would sell readily and command prices that would more than cover the original cost of the location.[The mineral rights of course reserved to the Company.] By this means the proprietors would not only realize a handsome amount of money, but, they would induce a settled population to taRe root and grow up iu the place ; for almoit every working man about the mine would have a little lot of land,on which to build his house, cultivate hi» garden, pasture his cow, and accumulate all of those home comforts which would attach him to the place, so that the company could always rely on a standing force of skilful laborers, trained up on their own premises, and attached to them by their own personal interests.Then by reserving the exclusive right of trade on their own locations, and keeping a good store, well supplied, and conducted on equitable principles the greater part of the money paid out for labour, would come back with interest.And now, with regard to the localities most eligible for mining purposes, there is no denying the fact that, anything situated on the River St.Mary must always possess decided adyantages over anything, down on Lake Huron, or up on Lake Superior.Situated on on the great artery of commerce, freights must be lower, insurance lower, canal tolls avoided altogether, supplies of all kinds cheaper and more easily obtained, our ore so much nearer to market, &c.; indeed it has been estimated by good judges that a mine on the St.Mary could be worked ten per cent, cheaper than up Lake Superior ; so that nothing but a very great superiority in the richness ot the lodes will enable tbe mines above the Sault to compete with those below it.And further more, we must bear in mind the fact that, these ideas ara not merely theoretical, as they might might have been considered 12 or 14 years ago.For although the business of mining has not received a fair trial here, (as has been distinctly pointed out in a former communication) yet, enough has been done to demongtrate its practicabiliiy.The \u201c Bruce,\u201d and \u201c Wellington\u201d mines, although commenced a few years ago under every conceivable disadvantage, and carried on upon principles far from economical, have weathered the gale, lived through the hard times and are now flourishing establishments.What the avails of the \u201c Bruce\u201d may be for the curent year I am unable to say ; bat I have it from good authority that it will yield a diui-dend ; which ia always a good sign in business matters.And the \u201c Wellington,\u201d (on the same location) must bave shipped during the summer of 1859 something about 1,800 tons of ore,worth on an average 88 dollars per ton, thus realizing the nice little sum of about 160,000 dollars.These two mines sustain a population of 800 souls, and the quantity of dutiable goods consumed by them must amount to over 30,000 dollars annualy, besides the large sums scattered through the Province for domestic produce.The \u201c Huron Copper Bay\u201d location too, which has recently been leased by the Wellington Company, and is now in active operation, will undoubtedly Do wui-Kua ^ii-u n.which always characterizes the business affairs of \u201c John Taylor & Sons ;\u201d so that, from that source alone the fiscal year will give us a large addition to the revenues above enumerated.But our brightest prospect for tbe ultimate success of mining here, lies in thejfact of smelting works having been already established in this vicinity.Mr.H.R.Fletcher, a gentleman of practical experience in copper-smelting has leased the old smelting works at the \u2018Bructf and when last I was there [a few weeks ago] the furnaces were in full blast.I believe it is Mr.Fletcher\u2019s iutentiou to establish a permu nent smelting work iu.the vicinity of Sault Ste.Marie, as being the most central site for his business.Here then will be a ready cash market for our ores, at home in our own neighbourhood, so that, instead of shipping off the crude ore to Swansea or Baltimore to be smelted there, we shall send the metalic products of our mountains to the best market in refined ingots ; or by using the noble water power at the \u201c Sault,\u201d we can roll it out into sheets, bars, rods or any other form which its varous uses may demand.Truly yours, W.H.PALMER.P.S.\u2014My next shall relate more particularly to the uative copper resources.of Lake Superior.think it affords too good an epenihg to any man with a taste for m itrimony and a diversity of wives, to be consistent with our national abstemiousness in that respect.And thus\u2014 \u201c Any ma-riage,\u201d the book tell us, solemnized after publication of banns in a false name, has been given with the privity and consent of both the parties, can be set aside on application to Her Majesty's Court of Divorce.As to what the law will coustrue as \u201c privity and con- .sent,\u201d is at present an open question upon which the tollowing cases may throw a little light : A certain amorous youth of nineteen fell in love with his father\u2019s cook, aged thirty, and made proposals of marriage to that domestic.The cook, conjecturing that the marriage might not be acceptable to her intended husband\u2019s family, persuaded him, for the purpose of concealment, to have the banns published in the name of \u201c Johu,\u201d the youth\u2019s name being \u201cHenry John,\u201d and the cook being constantly in the habit of addressing him by his first name.They were married, but as might have been expect ed, they were not particularly happy, and a suit having been insiituted for the purpose of setting aside the marriage, it was declared null and void.Again, [to go no farther back than to a case decided before Sir C.Cresswell a short time since] a young man, a minor, named Bower Weed, published his banns, with his intended wife\u2019s privity and consent, in the name of John Wood, he having expectations from his uncle Mr.Bower, and not wishing to offend that gentleman.On application to the Divorce Court the marriage was annulled, on the ground of this false publication.On the other hand, a man in humble circumstances, named James Carpenter, married (we quote a reported case) a woman named Susannah Spence.For some reason which is not mentioned, the woman\u2019s name in the publication of banns was stated to be \u201c Agues Watts.\u201d During the marriage ceremony the clergyman addressed her as \u201c Agnes,\u201d and she thinking that she was to be married in her own proper name, looked at Carpenter ; whereupon he [surly bridegroom that he was] told her to \u201c hold her tongue.\u201d This marriage, to the discomfiture, let us hope, of the ungracious Carpenter, who wished to set it aside, was afterward upheld, on the ground that only one of the parties was privy to the false publication.This is the present position of the law, with which we are disposed to quarrel.So long as divorce was a luxury not easy attainable, and consequently not much sought after, this consequence of lalse publication might not have been of great moment, but we take it to oe otherwise now.\u2014 Dickens All The Year Round.The Prince of Orange «They who frequent, Court circles inform us that the young Prince ofOrange is about to espouse our Princess Alice.Such an alliance would unquestionably tend to consolidate our Protestant and political interests ; but it may be doubted whether it would be favourably viewed in Holland.The grandfather of the presen King ot Holland bequeathed au enormous fortune to his three sons, one of whom, the father of the present King, whilst Prince of Orange, distinguished himself at Waterloo ; he married the Czar\u2019s sister Paulowna, and proved himself a better soldier than financier, for he quickly squandered his inheritance, and the mysterious disappearance of his consort\u2019s casket of magnificent jewels produced a lawsuit as famous aud scandalous as that of the famous Collier de la Reine.The sudden withdrawal of the prosecution gave rise to various rumours at the Hague connected with the King\u2019s extravagance.His brother, Prince Frederick, husbanded his immense wealth, and by extensive purchases af land iu Silesia and Holland has quadrupled his fortune.These vast possessions will fall to his two daughters, one of whom, the Princess Marie, has been supposed ia Holland as the destined bride of the heir to the throne.The Prince and his cousin do not appear much attached to each other, but the thrifty Hollanders think with good reason, that this money should be kept in the family if possible.\u2014Letter from Paris.THE GOVERNOR GENERAL.[From the London (U.O.) Times.) Our city Solons, in their anxiety to produce an address acceptable to Sir Edmund Head's palate, congratulated him on his re-appointment as Goveinor General.Replying to similar nonsense, emanating from the Guelph corporation, his Excellency says : Mr, Mayor and gentlemen of the Municipality of the town of Guelpii : Although I am not aware that my time of office has been specially prolonged, I thank you very sincerely for your congratulations oa my having coutiuued up to the present time to administer the government of this Province.I rejoice to think that the last harvest which Providence has blest us with, has done much to restore Canada to her former prosperity, and if his Royal highness the Prince of Wales visits this Province, I shall hope to see him welcomed by a thriving and loyal people.I acknowledge the expressions of your attachment to our most gracious sovereign.Edmund Head.Government House, Quebec, Feb.13, \u201960.The style and tone of his Excellency's letter affords a severe rebuke to the authors of the trasn or wmeu me addresses have been corn-dosed.From the familiar epistle of the Toronto aldermen to the stilted stuff of the Hamilton wiseacres,\u2014all have displayed a desire to manufacture party capital out ot the supposed, extension of the Governor\u2019s term of office.Not in so many words, indeed, but plainly though indirectly, they endeavoured to convey the impression that by the extension of his Excellency\u2019s term the imperial government had declared their approval of his official course.What will be said now ?Sir Edmund, who ought to know, declares that he has not been re-appointed ; and by that declaration cuts the ground from under the partisans who would drag him to their own low level.Rather cruelly, too, he ascribes to Providence, not to ministers, any improvement which may uow be observable in tbe circumstances of the country.A few more such letters will do his Excellency greater good than a hundred buncombe docu-men s of the kind in vogue in municipal circles.,s New Brunswick.\u2014In the Lieut.Governor\u2019s Speech, on opening the New Brunswick Legislative Session, on the 19.th instant, were comprised the following topics : \u201cThe Agricultural, Lumbering, and Fishing interests of the Province are reported to be in a prosperous condition.The \u201cAct to establish the University of New Brunswick\u201d will doubtless receive the Royal assent.Allusion is made to the Volunteer force of the country, for the arming of which the Governor has received 3,000 stand of Enfield rifles.Hopes are entertained that the whole line of Railway between Saint John and Shediac will be opened for traffic in the course of next summer.Increased facilities for settling the wild lands of the Province\u2019 are recommended.The Revenue for the past year is in excess of that of 1858.The adoption of the Decimal system of computation is recommended.The Governor advises the passing of an improved measure, in course of preparation, for facilitating settlements between Debtors and Creditors.The taking of the Census of the population of the Province is urged, and Legislative enactments to ensure its correctness are advised.The conflicting claims of the Lessees of the crown and owners of the soil having been arranged, the Governor hopes that a more searching enquiry will be instituted into the real character and extent of the Mineral resources uf the Province: A correspondent of the Saint John Courier furnishes a synopsis of a lecture upon the Resources of New Brunswick, lately delivered in that city, by the Hon.Mr.Tilley.The picture drawn is certainly a most gratifying one.As most of our readers know, New Brunswick began as a Province in the year 1782.Mr.Tilley's opportunities for obtaining accurate information render his facts and figures more than usually interesting as well as reliable.Mr.Tilley stated that the railway duty had paid the interest on the loan with £7000 in hand ; that the Provi ncial resources in timber and ships are becoming exhausted ; but that others under ground, consisting of valuable minerals of all kinds, building stone, coal, iron, copper, were being worked with rich promise for the future.But the most striking of Mr.Tilley\u2019s statements are that\u2014 1st.The population of New Brunswick had doubled itself in every successive 17 years commencing in 1732 and ending in 18-50, that it might be expected to double itself in tbe succeeding 30 years.2nd.That the taxation in this Province is less than that of any country in the World, being only 17s.6d.per head against 32s, in the States and and £3 in England.3rd.That individual wealth here is in the same proportion, being $550 per head against $403 in Canada, $320 in the States, and £100 in England.4th.That the returns of exports here for 1858 are individually larger here than in England generally considered the largest exporter in the World, being here £5 12s.against £5 there per head.5th.That returns show that agriculture in this Province with its long winter, its highly paid labour, and its adequate markets, can be made to yield a large profit.6th That the grant for edneation in 1859 was £30,000, the exact sum granted by wealthy and populous England to the Privy Council of instruction the first year the Council was formed.Putting up the Banns-\u2014If it were our present business to criticise, in place of illustrating the law as we find it, we should feel disposed to find a little fault with this portion of our jurisprudence as it now stands.Wc should feel disposed, for example, to say that we MM Smaragu, BY MONTREAL LINE.Office, lit.Sacrament Street.Reported for the Montreal Herald.Baltimore, Feb.28.The brig Victoria, from Cardenas for Baltimore, before reported ashore off Wicomico, is now going to pieces, though some of her cargo may be saved.Girard, Pa., Feb.28.A fire last night in this place destroyed four stores and several dwellings.Total loss about $10,000 ;
