Jr3 Death of Prof e [for Grcrt. 



The French Government have, lately taken the ft Ate of 

 the mines in France into their consideration, eftablifhed a 

 fchool of mineralogy under the aufpices of the miniiter of 

 the interior, and are now deviling means for propagating in- 

 Amotion relative to that important branch of induftry. — The 

 ftate of the mines in this countrv calls loudly on our Govern- 

 ment to endeavour to devife fome mean of improvement. 

 The lofs that remits to the community from the prevailing 

 jemorance of the operative people employed in them is ab- 

 folutely incalculable. How happy fhould we feel, if our 

 well-meant hint fhould have the effecl to make the matter 

 be taken up by thofe who have influence fumcient to accom- 

 plifh the objccl !
