Two o'Ciocw.

The mining market is rather firmer to-day,
owing partly to the improvement in the copper
standard. East Basset, East Cern Brea,
Ceradon, Wheal Margaret, Wheal Crebor, Marke
Valley, and Wheal Union shares show an advance,
and Tincroft and Illogan are firm. East Basset
are quoted 103 to 105 ; East Cain Brea. 71 to ;
East Caradon, 30/ to 31 ; Wheal Ludoott, 51 to 6 ;
West Chiverton, 201 to • Tincroft, 20 to ; Mo-

Marke Valley, 64 to 1 ; and New Martha, 31 to 4.
Cobre Copper 'hares are again somewhat higher,
and Mariquita and Port Phillip are inquired for.
Other foreign and colonial mining shares are
steady. There is rather more business doing in this
market to-day.
The directors of the Port Phillip and Colonial
Gold Mining Company have reoeived by telegram
from Suez the following advice', in anticipation of
the Australian mail, from their resident director,
Mr. Bland, at Melbourne, giving the result of the
month of March last :—Quantity of qusztacrushed,
3,103 tons ; yield per ton, gold, 12 dots. 20 grs. ;
receipts, 3,340/. ; payments, 1,8301. ; profit, 1,6101. ;
remittance, 1,0001.
The English and Canadian /inning Company bays nosiest'
the following report for the month of April :—" Kent's
shaft: The ground continues mach as before, and yielding
about 25 tons of 2to 3 per ant. ore. But a 6oe Maack
or dropper was met with in the latter part of the month,
corning in at bottom of bed. It still continues, and may
account for apparent poverty of the bed in this end. Fanny
Eliza We broke in 'toping on this branch 12 fathoms
2 feet 3 inches of ground, and obtained between 5 and
6 tons 40 per cent. ore when dressed. The branch still
bolds down sod looks very promising. 20 fathom level
east advanced 4 fathoms 3 inches, yielding about 40 toss of
4 per cent. ore in the rough. Two large dropper. or
branches were also pained through carrying fine purple ore,
which can be taken away cheaply after the bed hes been
eloped. 20 fathom level west advanced 2 fathoms 4 feet
inches, yielding about 30 tons 4 per sent ore in the rough.
A very large dropper or branch has also appeared in the end
carrying purple and yellow copper ore and some hos samples
of sulphuret of molybdenum dressing. This department
hes been advanced as much as the memos would permit. I
trust to get a parcel of crop ore, about 17 tom, nay S.
sample next week."

SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDZNT AT MATLOCK.—
On Wednesday evening a shocking accident occurred at Mat-
lock station to a young man from Sheffield. On that day
cheap excursions trains to Matlock and ltowsley were rue
from Nottii.,,ham, Sheffield, and other places, and about
half-past eight o'clock the Sheffield train arrived at Matlock
from Rowaley on its return home. Before the train had
stopped a young man jumped upon the footboard of
one of the carriages, from which he fell ceder
the train, part of which passed over him, crush-
ing his legs in a shocking manner. The accident
was withered by a number of Nottingham excursionists,
who were at Matlock station ready to return hear,
amongst whom were Dr. Lory Marsh and Dr. Taylor,
who promptly rendered their senior to the injured man.
He was removed into the waiting.room, where means were
applied to stay the bleeding. and was then placed in a
horse box and conveyed to Derby Infirmary. The
that
man, who, it ia supposed, was "freak," stated that be
resided at Sheffield, and that he was anxious to join his
friends in the train when the accident occurred. It was
herd that the amputation of ow or both his legs would
be necessary.—Nottingham Journal.
EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY BY • CAT. —A won-
derful instance of feline affection occurred a short time ago.
A person named Marsh Allen, residing at Willooghton, who
is in a very delicate state of health, went to Hull about
fire weirs ago to pat himself under medical treatment,
leaving his cat, which r under twelve months old, at
Willoughtors. One day, after be bad been there some time,
happening to go into the back yard of the house at which
be was staying (No. 33, Osborne-street) he observed a cat
sitting on the cater wall. He careleedy called " Puy.'when the animal, to his mat surprise, jumped from ibe
wall, rushed upon his shoulders and into his bosom, com-
menced firkin( him face, and exhibiting every other
evidence of delight and affection of which it was capable.
He at once perceived that it was his own cat, which he
had left safely at Willoughtia ; and his astonishment at the
startling fact may be readily imagined. On examining the
animal be found that its claws were completely worn off
with walking, and that it presented other appearances of
having undergone great fatigue, hardship, and hunger.
How it succeeded in crossing the Humber, or indeed in
performing the journey (about 30 miles) at all, must sow
remain a mystery. It may be mentioned as partly scoorrat-
ing for the violent affection shown by this poor member of
the feline race, that Allen was very food of the animal, and.
in his sicklier, bad been in the habit of taking it to bed
with hirn.—Starnford Mercury.
Mr. Hargraves has carefully examined Western
Australia from King George's Sound to Perth, sad boa
come to the coaclusioe that no gold formations are to be
found there. He speaks of copper, tin, and Elver, endthinks that coal may be discovered ; but it appears to has
that the character of the country is altogether unfavorable
to the exigence of gold.—South Australia* &wafer.
