A NEW PEPPER. 
A new pepper from Kissi, Upper Guinea, on the 
frontier of Liberia, has been brought before the 
" Acadeuiie de Sciences," Paris. The corns are 
small, contain manganese, aud are good for spice 
or condiment. It is called after M. Famechon, 
the discoverer, and is expected to become a colonial 
product,— GZo6c, July 4, 
A FIND OP QUICKSILVER IN 
MALABAR. 
Calicut, Ju'y 22. — Recently, while the Railway 
construction otKeials were working at Edakad, 
between Tellicherry and Cannanore, Mr A Sayers, 
Bridge Inspector, came upon deposits of quick- 
silver near a spot called " Slieitan Kunnu," or 
Devil's Hill. The deposits apparently exist to a 
profitable e.xtent, for Mr J B Burnett, having 
inspected thciii, has already formed a Company 
under the title of the Tellicherry Quicksilver 
Syndicate to work the mineral. I learn that all 
the shares of the new Company have already been 
subscribed for, and it is to be hoped that Mr 
Burnett's commendable enlurpri.se will prove pro- 
fitable. It may not he generally known thac so 
far back as 18-^8, the existence of quicksilver was 
reported [in a bed of laterite at Canninore, — 3/
