Shafts have been sunk on four of the lodes, and from two to three hundred tons of ore have been raised. Several of the lodes are parallel, and situate so close to each other as to facilitate workings on a most comprehensive scale. Samples of the ore reduced to regalia by a small furnace on tie spot, have been sent to this coun try, a portion of which has been assayed by Mr. Johnson, of Hatton garden, and produces 48 per cent, of pure copper. There is also abundance of wood on the spot and in the imme diate neighbourhood, so that the ore may be smelted at a trifling cost, which gives this mine advantages over others, and it possesses easy means of transmitting the copper to Adelaide or Encounter Bay. The mineral riches of the South Australian district have never been surpassed in the history of mining enterprise, as will be seen from the folloWing extract from the Great National Exhibition Ca talogue, of the working of the Burra Burra Mines, and the profits realised : Tons. cwt.

The miney value of this ore is 738,1081." Altogether, the advantages of this South Australian Copper Mining Company are such as to warrant the most sanguine ex pectations. Specimens of the ore reduced to regulus, and assayed coppet therefrom, also Mr. Johnson's certificate, and the reports of experi enced copper miners, may be seen at the offices of the company. To work these mines to an immediate profit no delay need take place beyond the time necessary for putting up the requisite ma chinery. Including the estimates for erecting the new works and the neces sary machinery, and for the purchase of the fee simple of the land and mines, with the plant now on the premises, it is proposed to raise a capital of 50,0001., which will be more than sufficient for the purpose—after deducting the purchase-money to be paN.l to the promoters for their interests, and for the fee-simple of the ground and the money expended on the mine.

The wheat trade ruled firm, and prices remain unaltered. The growers seem inclined to hold off selling rather than submit to any reduction. Beans and peas inquired for, and rather dearer.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states the exception of barley and oats, of which supply some articles have come coastwise, principally from Scotland, the imports of grain still continue light. She general dulness which pervades interior markets has been felt here, though we are not able to report much actual change in price. The bulk of our small granaried stocks is in firm hands. We had for this day's market a very fair supply of wheat from the farmers; the condition was more or less affected by the late wet weather, and only the few dry samples offering were taken off at about the prices of last market day, in some instances a trifle lower. There is rather more barley offering, both foreign and Scotch, than the demand at the moment will take off; and in the few sales made buyers obtained an advantage of is to 2s per quarter. Oats maintain their value, as do also brans (of which our supply is limited to Egyptian) ; and peas of dry quality are in request. Linseed is in good snpply, and the market easier. Cakes are ♦ery firm, and English low in stock. A few fine foreign are on the market. No transactions transpire in rapeseed, but cakes are in better demand. No arrival of bones for business. Guano more inquired for. A cargo of superior Saldanha (with excel lent analys;s) attracts attention. The following are the presen B. s.

CAPTURE OF LAGOS.—" Her Majesty's ship Penelope, Lagos, Jan. 4,1852.—1 t wou l d be useless for - me to at tempt to describe the bloody s c enes that too place on Christmas-day between the nati ves of Lagos and the ships' boats of the Penelope , Sampson, Volcano, Water witch, Bloodhound, and Tenze r . Up the rivet er thealt os of lives has been very awful. Two men belonging to the s Penelope, in particular, we re brutally massacred by the natives, their heads hopped off and st uc k up in the King's house as ornaments. They were eventually taken down and buried by Captain Ly ster, who, with a party l of men, landed and spiked thei r guns , but, in doing regret to say, our ship's comp an y suffered much ie so the landing and relanding of our m en . There were fourteen killed and seventy wounded , m aki ng a total, of our ship's company alone eighty-four. Tbis m ail will crush the feelings of many a poor wife an d mo t h er when the Samp son arrives. The Sampson leaves here for England t h is evening. We have taken from t he enemy forty-seven guns, and set fire to and burned the town down about their heads." Orders wore received at Devonport on Monday morn ing to refit th e Arethuse, 50, Captain Thomas Symonds, with all possible dispatch. She landed thirteen invalids on Saturday evening (twelve seaman and a second mas ter), who wer e taken to the Royal Naval Hospital. In consequence of its being dead low water the invalids were obliged to be landed at the Admiral's Hard, Stone house, and taken through the town, It is a matter of great surprise that some steps are not taken by the Go vernment to dredge the channel, so that boats at least might be taken to the hospital at all times of the tide. The Arethusa has been inspected by the dockyard, and is found to be in a condition to require her being brought into harbour, and probably docked. Her defects, how ever, do not exceed what might have been expected after two years' • service, except that her fore-knee is considerably strained. She is said to be horribly infested with rats. • Captain H. M. Denham did not commission the He rald corvette on Monday as stated. He only received his commission yesterday.

Charles Pickering, 33, a man of highly-reqectuble appearance, was this morning placed at the bar, charged on an indictment with having stolen 240 printed plates, the property of the Right Hon. Lord John Russell and others, trustees of the British Museum. Another count varied the offence, alleging the robbery to have been committed in the dwelling-house of Sir Henry Ellis. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Parry conducted the prosecution; Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner. The prisoner withdrew a farmer plea, and pleaded guilty to the indictment. Mr. Bright Smith, a magistrate in the commission of the peace for the county of Sussex, know the gentleman at the bar, who had been tutor to his children for the last two or three years. He was a man of the greatest accomplishments, and he had every confidence in him as a man of unblemished character. The ASSISTANT JUDGE said that this was a very pain ful case, and the sentence the Court was about to pro nounce was very likely to be unsatisfactory, and misun derstood by the public at large, who generally looked to the equality of the punishment, and not to the number of circumstances, which, combined, might render a punishment just that might not at first seem to be so. Under all the circumstances, the court would do its duty, fearless on the one hand of those who might think the punishment too light, and on the other equally fearless of those who might consider the sentence too severe. In exercising a merciful consideration to the prisoner, the sentence was that be be imprisoned in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour for three calendar months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MANSION-HOUSE. A man named Robert Thompson was brought before Alderman Cubitt, charged with having committed frauds, in practising which, it is believed, he has been very suc cessful. His plan is this—he knocks at an office-door at twelve o'clock at night with a postman's rap, when the people of business are gone, calls out "Late post; and when admitted by the servants, to whom he makes an ap olo gy for the una vo id a bl e di s turbance at such an hour, pro duces a small b un dl e w ith a letter attached, directed to the propriet or , an d stat i ng on th e e nvelope that three or four shillings ar e t o b e p a id. H e departs upon receiving the amount, an d t h e party to whom the parcel is ad dressed find s a p i ece o f an o ld news paper carefully packed up, and a l e tt er , w hi c h he considers to be Greek or Latin, and which, therefore, aggravates the disappoint ment and the fraud. R. Phillips, who looks after the house No. 40, Seeth ing-lane, said he heard a ring at the bell at twelve the night before, and throwing up the window was informed by the prisoner, who was below, that it was the " late post," and that he bad a parcel for Messrs. Dunham, Smart, and Co. Witness went down, opened the door, and received from the hand of the prisoner a piece of pasteboard sealed up, to which was fastened a letter ad dressed to the firm. The prisoner at the same time pro duced a book, and said there was 3s. 6d. to be paid, and that witness must sign the book. Witness said be had no more than 3s. about him, and the prisoner then hesi tated, but after a little while he said, as it was late, and he was tired, be would take the 32. if witness would sign. The 3p. were accordingly given, the book was signed, and the prisoner saiu he would call again for the 6d. The parcel and the letter were, of course, equally valuable. Alderman CUBITT said that in all probability the pub • lication of the fraud would bring tcgether severe' losers by the system, and remanded the prisoner till Friday. MARYLEBONE. ADMINISTERING NOXIOUS MEDICINE TO A FEMALE. —The two young men, Henry Smith and Robert Denny Christmas, were again pl ace d u t th e b a r, charged with baying administered a certain noxious medicine to a female named Anne Obee with intent to procure abortion. The particulars of what transpired upon the former occasions have already appeared. Mr. Humphreys attended, a s b e f ore , Mr. Parry, the barrister, for Ch r i stmas. The whole of the eviden ce was read over by t h e c hief clerk, Mr. Fell, and the accus e d parties were comm itted for trial. for Smith; and Upon the application of the Learned Gentlemen their clients were allowed to put in bail, each in his personal recognisance to the amount of 2001., and to find two sureties in 1501. each. The required bail was tendered and accepted by the magistrate. ARRIVAL OF THE BODY OF THE LATE Mr. SHEIL. —POILTSMOUTII, MONDAY., The Merlin steam-packet, Lieutenant Commander J. H. Turner, arrived this morning from the Mediterranean having on board the remains of the Right Hon. L. Sheil, late Ambassador at Florence. The Merlin left Gibraltar laft Saturday week, the Janus being the only vessel at anchor there. The body of Mr. Sheil, which is enclosed in a leaden coffin, will be transferred to the Sprightly steamer, Master-Commander Allen, for con veyance to Kingstown, Ireland. She will sail with the body this evening. The Merlin will, it is supposed, go to Wool wich to pay off, but no orders were down here. THE COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.-DEVO NPORT , SUNDAY.—The American barque Delta, of New York, from London to Cardiff, to load iron for the States, put in here last evening with loss of bowsprit and jibboom, and bows stoved, having been in contact on Thursday night off the Start with a brig, name unknown. From the accounts given by the American it was feared the brig had sunk, and all hands on board her perished ; but intelligence has since been received that the crew had been picked up and taken into Brixham. Further reports state that the brig survived the shock so far as to keep afloat,land that she has since been towed into Dartmouth. RIFLE CLUBS.—Her Majesty's Government, ac cording to a recent official announcement, are prepared in certain cases to advise her Majesty to accept the services of volunteer rifle corps, provided that the proposed formation of such corps is recommended by the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and that the members of the corps undertake to provide their own arms and equipments, and to defray all the expenses attending it, except in the event of the corps being assembled for actual service. Messrs. Nicoll, army clothiers, are prepared to forward, on bond fide application, the Act of Parliament, viz., 44 th George 111. , c. 54, by which they will be governed; a copy of rules adopted by several corps already forming; also sketches and estimates for uni forms and accoutrements, with or without the rifle and sword-bayonet, improved on the French principle. The clothing they propose to supply for a superior order of volun teers shall not exceed the cost of plain dress or ordinary clothes, and shall in every respect be such as a gentleman may wear with satisfaction. Samples for the outfit of a sub ' scribing club may be viewed on application at the ware rooms, 114, 116, 118, and 120, Regent-street, or at the City depot, 22, Cornhill. Eight and five guineas are quoted for these samples, but the tastes and wishes of any body of gen tlemen will be readily adopted and estimated for by Messrs. Nicoll, who will send competent persons for instructions to any part of the country, where a fair amount of business will be insured. A MISCREANT.—An Italian calling himself Euge h- nio Briard, has for a few weeks pas t been living in the Hig street, Southampton, professing to teach drawing. he window of his shop has been covered with specimens of his art. He has also been exhibit in g a picture of p the burning the Amazon. It has now been discovered that he has been allowing children to witness his exhibition gratuitously, and has been behaving in the most disgusting and outrageous manner towards them. A few days since two little girls, be tween five and six years of age, were enticed behtindeethe screen on which the picture was exhibited, under pi . .e en of holding lights so that the children outside might witness the picture. The children behind the picture were heard to cry, and a bigger girl who was present at the exhibition endea vouring to ascertain what was the matter, saw the abomi. nable conduct of the Italian, and for thus interfering was o eines by the about 40 brutally kicked by him. As soon as the parents of the children heard of the offences they bad the scoundrel appre hended, and brought before the borough magistrates, by whom he was sentenced to pay a fine of 5/., or suffer three months' imprisonment. The fine was paid. f As it is not im probable he may attempt the same means in other towns, the public cannot be too much on their guard. The fellow is very tall, and apparently 40 years of age.

We have received the Path journals of yesterday. The only article of interest appears in the columns of the Pays. It is a refutation, and probably not an unauthorised one, of the warlike rumours that have been for some time in circulation, and which have created much alarm and uneasin,ss. The Pays, in contradicting these rumour:, does not confine itself to the simple declaration that they were unfounded ; it shows that they had not even probability in their favour, and that the task of the Prince PRESIDENT of the Republic is one of greater hcneur and usefulness than that which some of the foreign journals imagine. Whilst foreign political writers represent him as being inspired only with ideas of bloodshed and con quest ; with indulging in a desire for the invvion of England, or the annexation of Belgium to the French iv te aa r dim r iigaittrlosnoerrtpyairoi origin; represents vainglorious in ne i ti t iasa h nc tehtidreamingethfhehieteciEranomf necessities be NAPOLEON or maintained p repeating oaonfEdoh iNosva with pesor being a io k o h g h t a ou t pnne owaspeace :to fact that eve n th e ambition of the EMPEROR being impractic a bl e w i t h out the sacrifice of national pride, and, to a cer t a i n extent, national interests, the Paysn the influence of really grand inspirations, and resolved in order that he may be able to restore prosperity t France, and develop her manifold resources in agri culture, commerce, and manufactures. Never, says the Pays, will Louis NAPOLEON commence a war of aggression, and therefore it depends upon other powers whether the peace of Europe shall be maintained or. otherwise. On Monday afternoon, at two o'clock, the Mar. quis of NORMANBY presented his letters of recal to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. Lord COWLEY is expected in Paris to-day. The Moniteur publishes several decrees, the most important of which is one for the encouragement of immigration into the French colonies and for the re gulation of the relations between the employers and their work-people. A decree enacts that the only day celebrated as a national fite shall be August 15th, the EMPEROR'S birthday. _ _ All objects having belonged to French Sovereigns are to he collected from the provincial museums, and to form a division of the Louvre. A long decree regulates the emigration and en gagement of workmen in the colonies. Another modifies the commercial regime of Senegal. According to the Ineependance of Brussels, the three members of the commission appointed by the PRINCE PRESIDENT, relative to the decrees against the Orleans property, viz., MM. DUVEEGIER, CJIAIX D'ESTANGE, and MOREAU, advocates of the Ministry of Marine, the city of Paris, and the Domaines, have not been consulted on the legality of the decrees, but solely on the diplomatic and matrimonial questions which may affect the execution of them. A letter in the same journal says—" General St. ARNAUD is about to leave for Africa, to put himself at the head of an expedition which is to take place in the spring against Kabylia. He will still retain his post as Minister of War, Marshal VALLIANT acting for him ad interim.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 11th inst. Marshal NARTAEZ had addressed a letter to the QUEEN, testifying his great satisfaction at her reco very, and expressing hi s s en timents of devotedness to her MAJESTY. The Duk e an d Duchess of MONT.. PENSIER have given a su m o f 6,000 reels (1,6000 to the Archbishop of TOLEDO, to be distributed to the poor on the occasion of the QUEEN'S recovery.

MADRID BOLSA, FEB. n.—The Three per Cents. were done at 374 for time; the New Three per Cents. at 18k; the Debt without interest, 5 5-16ths; and the Ceupous, at 9k. - GERMANY. A letter from Vienna is the Independence of Brus sels, says that the design of raising a very large loan has been adjourned by the Austrian Government, but that one of 20,000,000 florins is to be raised for completing the railways. It is reported that a tax of one per cent. will be placed on the capital of real pro perty, in the room of the income-tax. A letter from Vienna in the German Journal of Frankfort, says that, on the 9 tb, all the principal editors of the political journals of Vienna were ordered to wa it upon th e m ilit a ry gover nor an d receive from himinstructions as to the way in which they are in future to express themselves. A letter from Vienna of the 12th, states that the treaty respecting the indemnity due to Russia for the aid accorded by her to Austria in the war of Ilun gary in 1849, has been definitively concluded. Austria is to furnish .Russia with salt to the amount of 1,051,133 fl or in s (rath er more th an 2 , 000,000 francs), and to pay in money 4,615,384 florins in three in stalments, the first of which has been already paid. The Cassel Gazette of the 14th says that Dr. KELLNER, who was imprisoned in the fortress of that place on a charge of sedition, has just made his escape with the aid of the sentinel on duty. BELGIUM. The following appears in the Journal du Bruxelles: " Rumours relative to the pretended projects of the President of the French Republic against Belgium are spread in our towns, and disquiet the populations, and it is even alleged that the execution of these projects will take place at an early period. Nothing justifies these rumours; on the contrary, the Prince Louis Bonaparte has sent pacific protestations to the great powers, and they have shown themselves satisfied with them. If it were otherwise, we should see troops concentrated on the right bank of the Rhine; but nothing of the kind takes place. It is, however, objected that the Belgian Government is adopting measures for placing our e fortresses in a respectable state of defence. It is per haps, however, not known that during the long conflict caused by the new project for the organisation, o r rather disorganisation of the Belgian army, our fortified pinecees and our war material were subjected to the conse i ?x en it of this disaccord caused by incompetent al theories r fined with its arms folded; and no w it is nece yenew v w we a hr s incmh o se n na l t y c, hwohniwhich, h necessaryinstead improvised, to maintain o h of indulged cutting ed at ex isted,h shortints eemtnh., toeri r what was allowed to perish.

I MUSICAL NSTITUT E OP LONDON.—On Saturday evening the members of this society met for the first time at their rooms in Sackrille-street. The president, Mr. Hullah, delivered an inaugural address, in which he adverted to the necessity which had hitherto existed in London for a spot where musicians might meet and discuss points of inte rest connected with their art, and described the objects for which the society was established, and its proposed opera tions. A quart to composed by Mr. J. Lodge was then performed by Messrs. Dando, Watson, Webb, Henry and Lucas. Miss Dolby sang a song composed by 1 about Lawes (who flourished in the reign of Charles, ..

Kossuth was represented as extremely ill, although he made a speech to the citizens of Columbus, Ohio, on the sth. The Ohio State senators have each sub scribed five dollars to the Hungarian fund. Kossuth had received about 6,000 dollars in Pittsburgh. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.--A few nights ago an attempt was made to murder an inoffensive man, named Little, within a short dsstance of the town of Newry. A gang of ten or twelve conspirators fired at him without effect. They then rushed upon him, inflicted a wound on hie forehead with a dagger or knife, and were pro ceeding to complete their atrocious design when a gen tleman made his appearance on the road, and the vil lains decamped. MURDER IN ROSCOMION.—A man named Adams was killed at Culliagh, in an affray in which he was en gaged with two brothers, named Conolly, who have ab sconded. ARMY MOVEMENTS.—The 7th Dragoon Guards, at present forming part of Dublin garrison, have received orders to hold themselves in immediate readiness to march to Cork and out-quarters, to relieve the 6th Dra goon Guards (the Carabiniers).

THE EARL OF BELFAST.—The Earl of Belfast pur poses giving a series of lectures in this town, early in March, on behalf of the Working Classes Association. on the subject of " The Poets of the last Half Century." His Lordship also means to be present at the inaugura tion of the association's new rooms, Donegal-street, on the Ist proximo. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—An impression has been latterly gaining ground that we are not at present likely to have lower prices. This impression has caused the buyers of yarns, whether for shipment or for home con sumption, but particularly the latter, to come into the market with greater confidence and freedom than they had previously done. Willingly would they pay the extreme prices of last week; but, as the spinners are well supplied with orders, they have demanded an ad vance of id. to 1 4 d. per lb. for whatever they might have to sell. We may specify 40's mule in the bnndlo, 24's to 28's thr3stle warps, and 24's to 30's pin cops, as exhibiting the gr,atest degree of improvement, which, however, includes warps, cops, and bundles in general It it less in reeled water than in warps, because the former *we befdie relatively higher. The favourable adrices as to twist from Bom bay and China have increased the transactions for those markets; and, even for Calcutta, some purchases have been induced by an appearance of improve -6mA in the accounts. The Germans and other con tinental merchants have been in the market, as have also the home consumers. The increase of the German and Dutch demand, so far in the present year, as compared with the same period of 1851, is seen in the fact that more yarns have been sent by 2,500 bales or 2,500,0001 b. between the Ist of January and 11th of February. In the department of goods there is not by , a ny means the same degree of improvement. They still lag very much behind yarns. However, the accounts from Bombay and Shanghai have led to considerable operations for those places; and a slight abatement of the depression at Calcutta has not been without some effect in the same way for that quarter also. The cloths required have therefore an upward tendency to-day. In moat other articles scarcely any change is observable. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have had a dull heavy market, with little or no variation in prices. There has been also a slack wool market, with stationary prices. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.. —We are not yet in a po sition to record any considerable degree of amelioration in the demand for our staple silk manufactures during the week. Yet, although the market does not assume a very active appearance, some manufacturers have made sales to a fair extent in some descriptions of goods at slightly improved rate!, and they fully expect a more hea l t h ys tate of business durin g the en suing month, which is the usual period for drapers coming into the market to ta ke their supplies. The recent un se ttl e d s t ate o f t h e weather has evidently been against our manufacturers. The dyers this week are slacker of orders from the Man chester and Macclesfield manufacturers. Thrown Silks —The market wears a better appearance; some little i n quiry has arisen again for the Continent.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There has been but little in cl seem unwilling to make purchases, uir merchants y to-day for either plain or fancy goods; and the ex cept at rates unremunerative to the manufacturers.
