The Hall Mark in Australia
London, June 11.—After many years of futile endeavor to obtain the enforced use of a hall mark in the jewelry trade, Sydney and Melbourne (Australia) jewelers have at last solved the difficulty by the formation of a company modeled along the lines of the Hall Mark Company of Britain. According to information received by the trade this side, the inauguration ceremony of this new concern has just been celebrated, the Acting Premier of New South Wales (himself a working jeweler) being in the chair. The newly-formed company, it is understood, will be operated without profit in the interests of all the branches of the trade—manufacturers, wholesalers, jobbers and retailers. The idea of the organization, of course, is to compel every person making jewelry to stamp it with the hall mark. Prominent jewelers in the Australian States have been seeking legislation to this end for years, without success. Acting Premier Oakes, of New South Wales, told the jewelers in the inauguration speech that he should introduce a bill at the proper time by which he hoped the operations of the new hall mark company would be strengthened.

Re: Early Australian Silversmiths
CHARLES WILLIAM SNOW
Queen Street, Brisbane
In all countries and in all times jewellers have been among the most prominent of citizens. Indeed, within a few generations of the time in which we are now writing, the jewellers of London, a most opulent and powerful body, were the only recognised bankers in Great Britain, and frequently patriotically assisted our early English kings in their continental wars with money and with soldiers raised at their own expense Coming down to more recent days, we may say that the jeweller of to-day is the merchant who deals with nearly all that is most valuable, most artistic, and most beautiful Speaking, however, more specifically and more narrowly, it may be stated that the word " jewellery " primarily embraces all articles intended for personal decoration made of precious metals which are or may be enriched with stones or enamels. The love of personal ornamentation is a primal passion of humanity which sways with equal force the rudest of tribes and the most advanced and luxurious communities. The craving which compels the rude savage to decorate his or her person with beads and circlets of seeds, shell, bone, horn and wood, is the same which has caused monarchs to lavish their treasures on the costliest materials and the most exquisite workmanship for their crowns and insignia of state Jewellery, as a purely ornamental adjunct to the person, has been in use at all times and by the entire human family. And as on these ornaments the highest art and skill at the command of any people was always lavished, they afford an important measure of the condition of the handicrafts and of the artistic development of the people and the period to which they belong. Much obscurity however surrounds the origin of clock work, but it is believed that genuine clocks existed in the 12th century, though there is no surviving description of any one until the 13th century, when it appears that a horologia was sent by the Sultan of Egypt in 1232 to the Emperor Frederick II It resembled a celestial globe in which the sun, moon, and planets moved, being impelled by weights and wheels so that they pointed out the hour of day and night with certainty How different to the modern well-manufactured clock or watch of to-day In this connection the subject of this biographical notice is a recognised authority Charles William Snow, Esq , Justice of the Peace for the Colony of Queensland, was born in Grimsby, the celebrated fishing port in the county of Lincolnshire. England, in the year 1838 He early evinced a fondness for the delicate and intricate mechanics of the watchmaker's art, and in pursuance of this bent of mind, and after he had completed his scholastic studies, he became duly apprenticed to the watchmaking at St Ives, in Huntingdonshire, England. Mr Snow was in his youth of somewhat an adventurous turn of mind, for before he had completed his term of apprenticeship in England, he migrated to the then fast growing metropolis of New South Wales, in which city he duly completed, with a first-class watchmaker, his full term of apprenticeship. Previous however to emigrating to the colonies Mr. Snow visited Coventry, and in that famous city, then the centre of the world's watchmaking, spent considerable time in obtaining experience of the finer and more delicate parts of his trade. For the eight years next ensuing upon his landing in Sydney he worked industriously at his own trade in that city, when, considering that Brisbane offered a good field for the establishment of the business of a watchmaker and jeweller, he migrated there in the year 1864, and at once commenced business in Queen-street. A steady success attended his efforts And he moved from shop to shop, never however leaving Queen-street, and each time with an improved premises both as to size and position, till he arrived at his present finely-situated and commodious establishment, which, it may be mentioned, is his own property, and was built by himself In 1877 Mr. Snow was joined in partnership in the business by his brother, and this partnership continued for 20 years, only being dissolved in 1897. In 1881 the subject of this biographical notice paid a visit to England chiefly with a view to inspect and study that which was most modern in the jewellers' and watchmakers' arts He visited the plate and jewellery and watchmaking manufactories of Sheffield, Birmingham, and London He went to the continent of Europe, and in Paris and other great cities there he took all the opportunities which his tour afforded him of gaining a knowledge of all that was most novel and artistic in the jewellers' art The experience he gained was of no little service to him, and has enabled him to keep his establishment in Brisbane stocked with the most modern and artistic goods. Mr. Snow has had a special opportunity of studying the various rises and falls of prosperity in Brisbane. There is no more delicate barometer of the public prosperity than a first-class jeweller's establishment. That business responds almost instantly to a checked or an in- creased flow of money. Luxuries are the first things dispensed with by the people when cutting down their cost of living, and Mr Snow has experienced a considerable number of these rises and falls in the purchasing power of his customers. Mr Snow is one of those individuals who takes a pride in his work He early in life achieved a thorough practical knowledge of watchmaking and jewellery, and on that sound basis the whole of his business has gradually risen till now it is the leading establishment of its kind in the Colony of Queensland. Nearly all the goods with which his premises are stocked are of the best English manufacture, nor does he permit inferior or second-rate watches, or indeed any other articles which are not of faithful and solid manufacture to leave his establishment. A watch to Mr. Snow is a piece of machinery for which he considers himself responsible, and in which he still takes a considerable interest, even after it has become the property by purchase of some other person He has continually numbered among his customers the Governors of Queensland and all the leading and wealthiest men of the Colony; and in fact wherever aught is required of an artistic or of specially fine manufacture, whether in plate, jewels, or watches. Mr. Snow easily commands the orders, and in merchandise of this description stands without a rival in Queensland. His establishment is remarkable for its large, varied, and up-to-date stock of fine English goods. The workshops are at the back of the premises, and are not visible to the casual observer. Mr. Snow's success is perhaps not difficult to be accounted for— a thorough knowledge of his business, a determination to deal in no inferior goods, and to permit to leave bis establishment only the best of work, together with an infinite patience and perseverance and personal superintendence, and an unfailing courtesy to all classes of people, are perhaps a sufficient enumeration or the qualities in him, which have deserved as well as attained to the completest success. But Mr. Snow has done more than to merely obtain a leading position amongst the prosperous citizens of Brisbane He has within a long career, during which no slur has ever been cast on his good name, steadily increased the respect and esteem which have ever been evinced for him by his fellow citizens, and indeed by everyone else with whom he chanced to come into contact. Of a calm and frank temperament, he has never flung himself into the turmoil of municipal or political matters, though in an unostentatious and quiet way he has frequently exercised no little influence, which has ever yet been thrown into the scale of moderation and justice. He was married in England, and has issue three children - Chas. Smethurst, Stuart Bishop, and Beatrice Mary.

673, George Street, Haymarket, Sydney
The Jewellers’ Art in Sydney
A visit to the establishment of Mr. T. M. Alcock, 673 George-street, Haymarket, which is shown in the accompanying engraving, will give some idea of the high state to which the jeweller’s art has been brought in Sydney. The establishment, which is situate directly opposite the Post and Telegraph Offices at the Haymarket, stands prominently out from among the other business places by reason of its elegant appearance. The front is in the Bond-street style, the woodwork being of ebony, and the windows artistically arranged so as to produce a very brilliant effect. The windows, wherein are displayed some of the best specimens of the art, present a dazzling appearance, and an inspection within the shop only adds to the effect produced by this exterior display. There are some splendid show cases rising from floor to ceiling, in which are shown some of the best description of ornamental clocks, presentation cups, salvers, goblets, &c. In various small cases are shown the goods for which Mr. Alcock’s establishment has won special prominence. There are diamond rings, diamond earrings, and diamond sets, pendants, &c. These are the grandest specimens of the jeweller’s art to be seen in Sydney. A pair of diamond earrings worth 230 guineas is shown, as also a pendant for 450 guineas, and rings 200 and 250 guineas each. The diamonds—the finest Brazilians—are imported, and the goods made up by experts employed oh the premises. Presentation cups, Masonic and other jewellery, are also produced in the very highest style—the work in every branch, in fact, being altogether of the better class. Mr. Alcock has just recently imported largely of Nicholls and Neilson’s celebrated gold watches, Walthams, and silver hunting chronographs, which latter are quite a new thing in these colonies. The mechanical portion of the business is carried on at the rear of the premises, where several men are employed, and the work is under the immediate supervision of the proprietor. On the premises is one of the finest safes yet seen in this colony—a solid steel article, weighing two and a half tons, made expressly to order in England for the establishment. Mr. Alcock has learnt his business in this city, and has built up in eight years a splendid and still increasing trade.
