He was, in fact, an admirable soldier, whose record will challenge comparsion with that of any officer in the world. With no wish to press bardly on a soldier, whose punishment has been very heavy, we are compelled to observe that the reasons which the ex-Marshal adduces for surrendering the strongest citadel in France with an army of over 140,000 men would militate against the winning of a victory under any conditions but those of superior strength and position.

During the past twenty-five years the mining industry of Russia has made considerable pro- gress. In 1855 the output of coal for the whole of Russia, with the exception of Poland and Finland, was 5,500,000 poods (one pood 36 lb. English), while in 1879 the output was 112,000,000 poods thus showing a very noticeable increase. Mr. Herbert states that up to 1850 the working of coal in Russia was almost entirely confined to the basin of the Don, and the output was only about 3,000,000 poods of anthracite yearly the result of private enterprise. The coalfields in the Ural, the Caucasus, and in the island of Sagballen produced at that time only about 5,000,000 poods annually.

The cost of these vessels, together with the erection of suitable godowns, wharves and other accommodation will, it is calculated, absorb about $60,000 of the paid-up capital.
For working capital, the Directors will be left with $40.000 in hand, to increase which, further calls can be made, should the Company's business expand and extension of its operations and addi- tions to its fleet and establishments be in con- sequence thought desirable.
Meetings of Shareholders will be held annually, and at these the Directors' Reports and Accounts will be presented. In this respect and in all other essential particulars the constitution of the Company will be in conformity with the rules in force for English Joint Stock Companies.
It is needless to say that no promotion money has been or will be paid. The Directors put forward their scheme in the interests of the East Coast and of the Territory generally, with a con- siderable proportion of the capital already sub scribed by the local community, and with the promise of their further co-operation, and they irust that their undertaking will meet with the approval and support of all those who are con- cerned in upholding the trade and welfare of North Borneo.
