MINES.-{THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoci.

The mining market is rather quiet to-day. East
Caradon and Tincroft shares are better—the former
at 281 to I ; and the latter at 20e. to 21. On the
other hand East Basset are flatter, at 80 to
82, and Wheal Crebor dull, at 2 to East
Caro Bre*, are quoted Bto ; Great Fortune, 36
to 37 ; Wheal Ludcott, 4 to 3; Wheal Seaton,
234 to 236 ; Mark., Valley, 6k to if; Cook's
Kitchen, 25 to 26 ; Drakewalla, n to 2A ; New
Martha, 44 to 5 ; and Chiverton, 7 to k.
Cobra Copper shares are firm, and have been
dealt in at 31 and 301. Yadanamutana are inquired
for. Other foreign and colonial mines are inactive.
The directors of the Linares Lead Mining Com-
pany have declared a dividend of se. per share, pay-
able on the 18th of J nly.
Creditors of the Island of Angleses Coal and Coke
Company (Limited) are required to send in the par-
ticulars of their claims to the liquidators.
The Don Pedro North del Rey Gold Mining
Company have received advioes from Captain Thos.
Treloar, who reports that " the produce for April
amounts to 1,636 oitavas, with one working day
less, and none of the stamps coffers cleaned out. In
proportion the produce of thisexoeeds that of last
mouth. The works are progressing satisfactorily,
both in the mine and on the surface ; and the ap-
pearance.of that portion of the lode on which we
are working is most encouraging."

Bonattow Araocrrim—A Naples correspondent
of the Tines. writing on the 14th, says :—" Mach has been
said, in and oat of England, about the wholesale shooting of
the poor Neapolitan peasantry, and much spurious sym.
pathy has been expressed by sal diaant liberals when
describing the excesses of the Italian soldiers. Some
of these orators and writers have, of course, been
only anxious to serve a party, and are beneath notice ;
but to those wbo in ignorance have spoken or
written I would express a regret that they did not
stand with me last Monday morning in the hospital of the
Pellegrini, by the bedside of Matteo Ferrero. There they
would have bed one among many proofs of the brutal ex-
cesses committed by the enemies against whom the brave
Italian soldier has been arid still is fighting. This poor
fellow was brought into the hospital on June 2, having berm
seized neer Nola by the band of Cresceezio, which so worthily
represents the cause of the Bourbnes in that district. Herber
been on duty as a member of the National Guard, he was not
likely to be treated with much mercy, so they strung him
up to the branch of a tree, cut off both ears and his nose,
and dog out both eyes with the point of a stiletto. It was
reported that his tongue had been cut oat, but it was not
so, as be was just able to articulate a few words ; still he
was, in the words of the medical attendant, ' nothing tint a
trunk,' eyeless, oarless, and timeless. Is he likely to live?
I asked. ' We cannot say yet,' was the reply ; but I thought
that it would be a mercy were he to sink, for, whether as
regards himself or others, poor Matter. Ferrero cannot be
anything else then a cumberer of the ground."
THE DOVER, CALAIS, AND OSTEND MAILS.—The
new contractors for the conveyance of these mails com-
menced the service on Saturday lest. On the arrival of
the mail train from Calais on Saturday morning Captain
Jeokios and Mr. Churchward's solicitor demanded the
mails of the Post-office agent, telling the latter that the
mail packet Vivid was waiting in her usual berth, with her
steam up, ready to take the mails to Dover under the
terms of his contract, to which the vice-consul replied that
he had positive instructions from the Postmaster-General
not to put the malls on board Mr. Cburehward's boat, but to
give them into the custody of the new contractors, the agents
of the London, Chatham, and Dover and the South Eastern
Railway Companies, whereupon the mails were shipped
on board the Samphire, and were brought to Dover by
that vessel. Mr. Churchward's packet, the Vivid, also
came to Dover, but without mails or passengers, the latter
having followed the mails on board the Samphire. On
Saturday evening Mr. Churchward himself attended at the
Admiralty Pier, and, on the arrival of the mails from
Undo'', courteously informed Captain Triscott, the Admi-
ralty and Post-office representative, that his vessels, the
Vivid and Maid of Kent, were ready, with steam up, to
take the mails to Calais and Osteod. Captain Triseott as
courteously replied that hie instructions were not to send
the mails to Calais by Mr. Churcbward's packet ; and a
gentleman, who said he had charge of the Ostend mails,
after some hesitation, formally refused to deliver the mails
to Mr. Churchward. The Samphire then went to Calais
with the mails and passengers for the new contractors, and
the Princess Maud went to Ostend with the mails and pas-
sengers for the Belgian government. Mr. Churchward's
packet, the Vivid, also proceeded to Calais ; and the Maid
of Kent packet, en his account, went to Ostend.

MONEY MARKET.-(TBIS DAY.)

Two o'OLool.
The stock markets to-day are generally heavy,
owing chiefly to the dulness of business, and to the
continued preponderance of speculative realisa-
tions. A fresh decline of 1 per cent has taken
place in the funds. The home railway market is
to-day the steadiest department of the Stock Ex.
change, but there is a rather severe fall in wine of
the more speculative kinds of foreign securities, such
as Greek,Mexican,and Spanish Passive Bonds. The
reduction extends to the shares of the new credit
companies.
At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Rental's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Ratites opened at
68fr. 42c., being about the same aeon Saturday.
Consols are now quoted 911 to 92, ex div., for
money, and 92 to 1, ex div., for the account (July
9). The official busineee report is as follows :
Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 911, 92 ; ditto,
for account, 92, 1 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911,

Anna., 1885, 15, 141; Bank Stock, 2331, 232;

per Cent. Debentures, 1862, 1001 ; ditto, Bonds,
I ls. prem. ; and Exchequer Bills, March, 25., 311.
dia.

Foreign stocks are generally lower. Mexican
Bonds have been last sold at 37, and Spanish
Passive at 34i, showing in each wee a decided re-
duction from Saturday's prices. Greek Bonds
have fallen 11 per cent, being now quoted
361 to f. The coupons are last marked 161, show-
ing a reduction of like amount. Italian Five per
Cents. are steady. The frurkish Loan of
1862 is worse, at 711 to f, and the
Consolida worse, at 501 to 1. Turkish
Bonds of 1854 are supported at 92 to 93, and those
of 1858 at 74 to 71. Transactions were recorded
as follows:—Brazilian, 1852, 1858, 1860, 901, ex div. ;

711 ;ditto for account, 711, 4, ; ditto, 1863, 4, 1
prem. ; ditto Guaranteed, 103.
The scrip of the new loans is lower. Confede-
rate is now quoted 2to 1 dis. ; Turkish, to 1
prem. ; Italian, 21 to 2/ prem. ; and Venezuelan,
2 to 1 die.
International Financial shares have declined to
51 to 54 prem., and General Credit and Finance
to 11 to 14 prem. London Financial are steady at
2 to 24 prem.
The shares of the Egyptian Commercial and
Trading Company are again lower, at 14 to 14
prem.
The Swifteure has arrived from Melbourne, with
63,0001. in gold. •
The Dover Castle has arrived from Melbotu ne
with 108,0001. in gold.
Telegraphic communication between Malta and
Alexandria has been interrupted for two or three
days. This accounts for the absence of telegrams
now due, with news from India and China.
The share list of the Egytian Trading Company
was closed on Saturday, with applications to the
extent of 270,000 shares, the number offered to the
public being only 25,000.
' The International Financial Society have made
a call of 2/. 10s. per share, payable at the banking
' house of Messrs. Glyn and Co., on the 13th of July.

The British and Foreign Marine Insurance Com-
pany will transact business at their new offices, in
on and after Monday, the 22nd.
The share certificates of the Commercial Naviga-
tion Company of India (Limited) are now ready for
delivery in exchange for the bankers' receipts.
The undermentioned gentlemen have joined the
London board of the "Queen " Insurance Com-
pany, via.:—Mr. George Hay, of the firm of May,
Mathewson, and Co., of Finsbury circus, and Mr.
Archibald Robertson, of the firm of Martin
Robertson and Co., of Gracechurch-street.

The prospectus of the Egyptian Company ap-
peared on last Wednesday, and on Thursday the
company was robbed of its proposed and published
title, through certain persons getting the start of it,
and registering precisely the same designation for a
scheme of their own. The fees in respect of the small
amount of capital proposed (2,0001.) are only 41.,
and this is the extent of the pecuniary stake in
consideration of which a clique of persons have it in
their power to seriously inconvenience and annoy a
highly respectable association. The impudence of
the pretension set up is rendered the more glaring
by the fact that the memorandum of association
registered by these parties is framed almost textually
upon theEgyptisu Company's prospectus. When Mr.
Heard and his associates propose to make a capital
of 2,0001., "of which 'M. is subscribed by the
parties registering," suffice for a class of operations
tor which the Egyptian Trading Company have fixed
their already fully subscribed capital at 2,000,0001.,
the utter hollowness of the imitative scheme becomes
still more evident. The matter would not be
deserving of such prominent notice were it not for
the fact that the abstractiou of title here described
is carried on systematical/y. At least half-a-dozen
cases have come to our knowledge in which the
same thing has either been done or attempted
by various parties. We believe that it was at-
tempted against the International Financial Society
itself, and only defeated by the timely effecting of
the registration half an hour before the arrival of
the emissary of the sham association. In like man-
ner the "Coutinental Rusk," a project now esta-
blished in the London market, narrowly escaved
being despoiled of its title after its public announce-
ment ; but the case was so glaring that, on appeal
to the Board of Trade, the genuine company was
specially permitted to register a title (the Conti-
nental Banking Corporatinu") as nearly as possible
identical with that originally contemplated by it. To
those who know how difficult it is to get both the
"memorandum" and "articles of association" fully
framed and settled in every particular as a preli-
minary to every other proceeding on the part of a
new company, the importance of the attacks now
systematically made against what is really the pro-
perty of others—though that property may cousist
merely in a name—will be fully appreciated. We
are glad to find that the International Financial
Society are determined not to listen to any compro-
mise ; but to expose the system complained of, and
it is to be hoped that in this course they will have the
co-operation of all companies that have suffered from
'imam. attempts. It is satisfactory to perceive,
too, that they are appealing to the Board of Trade,
who, apart from any relief which they may have it
in their power to give in the present instance, will,
it is to be hoped, in default of any other remedy,
pass a short bill through parliament, of a nature
calculated to prevent mere adventurers from
, taking an illegitimate advantage of newly-projected
r companies.

One good result of the friendly feeling which was
some time ago brought about (as already referred
to in this journal) between the South Eastern and
London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Companies
has just transpired. These companies have mutually
agreed to raise their fares, which during the period
of competition had been unduly low.
