M. Vivien de Saint Martin can be quoted as a victo- 

 rious evidence that the taste for serious and useful studies 

 is still flourishing on the other side of the channel. Let 

 us also mention here, by way of corroboration, the excel- 

 lent catalogue of works" relating to Japan published lately 

 by M. Le"on Pages. The list, arranged chronologically-, 

 begins with the first Italian edition of Marco Polo's 

 travels, and reaches down as far as Capt. Sherard Os- 

 born's Cruise in Japanese Waters. It will be of invalu- 

 able service to all those who are engaged in the study of 

 antiqiiitat.es Sinenses. We are glad to find that M. Page3 

 has in the press, 1°, a history of Japan in four octavo 

 volumes ; 2°, a translation of the Japanese grammar of 

 Mess. Donker Curtius and Hoffmann (published at La 

 Haye in 1857) ; 3°, a translation of the Japano-Portugnese 

 dictionary composed by the Jesuit missionaries, and ori- 

 ginally published in lb'03. The above three works will, 

 we are told, be speedily issued. Gustave Masson.

This Company has obtained an exclusive grant from the Norwegian 

 Government of upwards of 56,000 acres, part of the Konsisbcrjr Silver 

 Mines, so successfully worked by the Government for many years past, 

 and reckoned the most important for native silver in Europe. 



Some idea of the results to be obtained by an extensive and energetic 

 development of this property may be formed from the fact that the 

 King's Mines, worked by the Government, have, in some years, yielded 

 a clear profit of upwards of £ri0,000; the average net profit for the 

 last 25 years has been £ 14,000; the agirresate returns for the 6am3 

 period being j£1.377,769; and as much as £5,000 worth of pure native 

 silver having been disclosed at a single blast. This Company has 

 already opened on its property upwards of 30 mines containing silver, 

 which ony require the er< ction of suitable stamping and washing ma- 

 chinery to render the produce immediately available, so that an almost 

 immediate result may be anticipated on commencing the works. 



It is confidently expected that no call will be required beyond the 

 10*. per share. If the experience of the King's Mines is afuir criterion, 

 its judicious expenditure ought to realise profits at the rate of 400 per 

 cent. 



Detailed reports of J. H. Clement, Esq. (who has been twenty-seven 

 years at the silver mines in Mexico and Spain"), and Mr. Fries, at the 

 present time superintendent of one of the Government mines at Thons- 

 berg, as well as extracts from the reports of the directors of the Govern- 

 ment mines, with a number of official documents and plana, have been 

 embodied in a pamphlet, which may be had at the offices. 



Application for Shares may be made in the usual form to the Broker 

 "or Secretary, at the offices of the Company, of whom prospectuses may 

 be had.
