MINES.-(THIS DAY.)

Two o'CLoon.
The principal feature in the mining market to-
day is a strong demand for Great Vor shares,
which have been dealt in to a large extent ; the
present quotation is 39 to 40, being 31.
above that last current yesterday. Caradoa
Vale are also better, at to 4. The shares of
the New Devon Consols mine are quoted 11 to 2
prem. and more than double the number to be
allotted hare already been applied for. West Seams
have been dealt iu at 195 to 200. _

Yndanamutana shares have improved, and
Alamilloe are inquired for.
The New Devon Console Copper Mining Com-
pany (Limited) has just been brought forward,
with a capital of 50,0001., in 2,000 shares of fsbl.
each. The property to be worked adjoins the
celebrated Devon Great Consols mines. The
richness of Devon Great Consols mines was first
proved in 1845, since which each 11. share has
received 863/. in dividends, and is at present sale-
able at 5601. Captain James Richards, the
manager of Devon Great Consols, and his brother,
Captain Joseph Richards, both report very favour-
ably un the property to be purchased, the
vendor'spo interest in which is 9,8501. Of this,
5,0001. will be taken in shares, which are not to be
issued until the shareholders receive a dividend of
at least 20 per cent. Captain Joseph Richards will
be the manager, and Mr. N. Smith engineer. The
latter holds a similar position in Devon Great
Consclw.

ANCrTHEB AOOOIINT.

The Suffield Telegraph says :
" About midnight, a large reservoir connected
with the waterworks, and extending to above
a mile in length, situated about seven
miles from the town, suddenly burst in and inun-
dated the valley of the Don, sweeping away
entire villages, drowning the sleeping in-
habitants by hundreds. Trees were uprooted,
and the dibris of buildings carried down the
river was immense. In some of the streets of Shef-
field the dibrit is piled up eight or ten feet high,
and among it are found fragments of furniture and
many dead bodies. For more than an hour the
streets near the river were three and four yards deep
iu water. Great numbers of men are now engaged
getting dead bodies out of houses, where they have
been drowned in bed ; others are being gathered in
from gardens into which they have floated.

"The excitement in the town cannot be de-
scribed. Business is at a standstill. The extent
of mischief cannot be ascertained. Hundreds of
lives are sacrificed. The dam was a new one.
The immense volume of water is still pouring
on in its course of destruction. Rotherham,
Doncaster, and many other town<will suffer ere the
river Trent receives the excess of water which has
thus been set liberty."

THE HOME OFFICE AND THE CO,VDEMBED
CONVICT GEORGE HALL.

(From the Dirssinghast Post of this day.)

Information reached us last night which makes
as fear that the law will be allowed to take its course la
the asee of George Hall. While we write no olßcial inter
m►tion of the decision of the Home-office has reached

lot recominesd the exercise of the royal preroptive of
mercy in this poor man's behalf. If this be so, it is probable
that the execution will take place on Monday next.

did what is usual in my aka is cum of inquest■. I applied
to the coroner fur • copy of the depositions. and I further
directed an inspector of the Poor•law Board to proceed to
the authorities of the p►riah to ask for information upon
the subject. Those authorities stated that they were per•
fee* ready to make any inquiry into the mutter, and with
respect to the cue alluded to it may be satisfactory to the
noble lord to hear that the man whose wife
bad been, as stated, starved to death, was in the receipt of
15a. a week, and had been so throughout the winter,
sad that the unfortneate woman herself was being attended

ELECTION SPEECH OF BISHOP MONRAD•
COPENHAGEN, NAace 8.

Bishop Moored, the President of the Council,
was elected to the new Rigsraad en Saturday by
his former constituents, at Nykjobing, in Falsker•
In his speech to the electors the President said :
He had done all, had tried his utmost, to preserve peace ;
but thence could also embark in the war with a free
conscience, and fight to the last for the right and
independence of the country. Even should further heavy
lases, such as we have already suffered, await uss
we must not lose courage, bat display toughness and en-
durance. In the consciousness of the parity of our cause,
we shall still be able to cony our heads high, trusting in
Almighty God, who will confer victory upon our righteous
came. It would be impossible in the midst of war to de-
clare distinctly what conditions final peace will bring.
In reply to a question from an elector whether
the candidate would endeavour to withdraw the
November constitution, the Minister replied :

The opinion of the government has been stated in
the answer of hie Majesty to the addrem of the
Rigedag. He would fight with endurance and obstinacy
for the independence of the country and the maintenance
of the band between the kingdom and Sleewig. At any
rate he would never extend his hand to loosen that bend.

HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

Sir S. NORTHOOTE asked the President of the Board
et Trade what steps had been taken by the government,
lace the reports of the select committee of 18.57 end the
royal commission on harbours of refuge, fur the construe.
lion or improvement of harbours ; and whether he would
lay upon the table any correspondence that might have taken
piece between the several departmenta of the government
on the subject!
Mr. M. GIBSON said that in ISdI a bill was introduced
into the house by the government, and afterwards
into • law, for the purpoie of authorising
Mria:from the public fonds to be made to harbour authori-
ties for the construction and improvement of harbours,
cad that was in accordance with the recommendations of
the committee and of the commissioners. Under that act
Le believed that a sum of, in round numbers, nearly •
million, bad been agreed to be lent for the improvement and
construction of harbours, and at the present time there
were other applicatioas which amount in value to between
200,000 f. and 300,000 f. He would refer to some of the
places, and woull mention the case of Wick, which was
making its own harbour—not as suggested by the C 00311116-
sionera, but one which would be aatBcie•t for the local
trade. and for the saving of life in cortimxioa with
the fishing trade of that place. lit Port Patrick (as we
understood) a harbour was also befog constructed by metre
of a loan, which would be good both for trade and refuge,
though not as recommended by the COMMiSINOCATIL The
Tyne wee making its breakwater by means of • loan, and
no the Tees • breakwater was being constructed which
woad afford facilities far refuge. He might mention other
places, but generally he would stater that • gnat deal of use
Lad been made of the powers granted by the act of 1861.

THE "PROFESSIONAL AND El ROPE t N "
SOCIETIES.
_ _

Mr. WICKHAM asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether. in his statement on Monday last on the Govern-
ment Annuities Ea he had any intention, when alluding
to the transactions between the Professional and European
Societies, to impute any dishonourable or improper aoudad
to the European Society.
The CHANCELLOS of the EXCHEQUER—I have
great plea/lure is answering the question of my boo. friend.
I had no intention whatever of imputing dishonourable or
improper conduct to the European Society upon the facie
maids I referred to. The facts were to this effect, that at
the time of the amalgamation, which I believe should be
more strictly called a transfer of liabilities from the Pro-
fessional Society to the European Society, there was
registered on the policies the difference of value between
the sum which was assured and the amount at which they
stood at that period, and I described that transaction by
the strong phrase of " wholesale robbery, rather than by
that of fair mercantile transaction." My Munition was to
deal exclusively with the relations of the hofeesional
Society with its own policyholders. It was not to be expected
from any other society that they would take those obligations
at other than their value. I had no intention of referring
to the European Society as being, so f►r as I could ascertain
the facie, in any manner involved in the matter. In regard
to the other suggestion that I ventured to make, I should be
very glad if any statement can be forwarded to me on behalf
of the Prolessioual Society, which would enable me to
qualify the application of that phrase to that society. (Hear.)

THE CONFERENCE.

Mr. S. FITZGERALD said be bad examined the news-
paper report to which he hail referred in his pre►ious
quo-dim, and he found that the noble lord at the head of
the Foreign-office had aid that the bases of the cadence*
were that hostilities should be suspended, the belligerents
ooeupyiog carious points. He wished to know whether
that was or was not the case.

Lord PALMERSTON—What the boo. member refers to
must have been some statement baring reference to the
general proposal of an armistice, but the present proposal is
• ooefereoce without cessation of hostilities, it being reasoe.
able to think that if the conference were once assembled
round • table the first object of inquiry would be whether
an armistice might not be agreed on, and I should hope
that sock inquiry would lead to a favourable conclusion.

There is still very little businese doing is the
mining market, and prices generally are quoted the
same as yesterday. East Grenville shares are dull,
at 74 to East Lovell are officially marked 71,
and New t3siton' 60.
Foreign and colonial mining shares remaia
inactive. Port Phillip show a drooping tendency.
The Cobre Mining Company have received the
report for August, which is very satisfactory.
Nearly 500 tons had been raised from the new dis-
coveries, and the old workings are very promising,
the produce being upwards of 1,400 mining tons,
dry weight, and on the surface 1,364 for shipment,
and for smelting 721 tons.
The directors of the New Devon Consols Copper

concludes as follows : _ _

Wordhope. Mr. G. H. Piper appeared for the complaieent,
and Mr. Cox, of Hoeitoo, for defeodant. It appeared that
comphunaut, in the month of December, 181i3, took a farm
of defendant, which farm included the food upue which the
alleged trespass took place. No written document was
then produced ; but at a subsequent interview • draft
lame was submitted to Stereos, to the terms of which he
objected. It contained, amongst other clause. a strict
reservation of pme. No lease or agreement of tenancy
baying bees executed or signori by complainaut, be. auppo-
Meg that be woe by law entitled to the game, offered to
sell the right of eperiieg to Mr. Arthur, who declined to

A COIXCIDENCr..—An appropriate discovery ban
been made is LoradounCastle, the Highland residence of the
Marquis of Hastings, whose recent marriage excited
such widespread interest throughout the country. An
old chest, which appears to have been in the large hall
of the castle for the last thirty-Eve years was opined
on Thursday last, by the merest cheer., and it was found
to contain a bowl, with a slip of paper attached, on which
was a writing in the hand of the late marehiosem stating
that it was the christening bowl of the Hastings
One eao scarcely refrain from wondering why the dis-
covery should be made at this particular time. In coe•
nexion with the circumstance we us reminded of an un-
reported incident at the late Spsrkenhoe meeting. The
noble marquis, when replyin'o the toast of his own and
the health of his wife, said that her health was not such
as to suable her to be present, but he tented that if they
were all spared for another year, she would have that hap-
pineal. These words of the noble marquis were received
with loud cheers, and a sturdy farmer at the further sad
of the pavilion mud out, " And will your lordship being
the heir "—a sally which provoked rascal laughlwr, la
which his lordship joined.--Nottill9holl4 Journal.

The supply of English wheat, received fresh up to-day,
coastwise and by land carriage, wan very moderate. Not-
withstanding that the show of samples was limited, the
demand for all kinds was in a most inactive state, at
Monday's decline in the quotations. Thetconclition of the

We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, and the
inquiry for all descriptions ruled heavy, at barely stationary
price*.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded little atten.

The show of both English and foreign barley waa mode-
rately extensive. Even the finest samples moved off heavily.,
at the late tall in value, Malt was in good supply, and
sluggish request, on former terms.
Oats were in wedgelike supply and fair request. In prices,
however, no change took pleas.
Beans were quite as deer as on Monday. The demand
for them, however, was by no means active.
There was a fair male for peas, at extreme rates.
Inferior dour was rather lower to purchase. Fine
gsnlitiea were steady.
Linseed and rapeseed sold slowly, and the value of cakes
was with difficulty supported. Most other seeds were bald
