MINES-THIS 1.14 Y.

_
Two o'OLoCm.
Great stagnation continua to be the distingxkih-
ing characteristic of the market for home mining
stocks. Prices exhibit no new feature.

Cobre shares remain heavy, being prejudiced by
rumours that the forthemaing dividend wall be at the
rate of only 3/. per share., Transactions are recorded
in the Stock Exchange to-day at 80 to 69. The
General Mining Company's shires Dave been dealt
in at 165 and 15, and Imperial Brazilian at 3
and 25.
The only transactions reported yesterday are in the
Mining Exchange, as follows:
Alfred Console, 141, 15; Trundle, 2 1616, 3 116;
Wheal Gesaville, 22e. 65.
As regards metals, the market for copper is
becoming steady, and considerable business is
doing is manufactured; there have been 'overall
arrivals of foreign, bat merchants must submit
to lower prices in order to effect sales. Iron is in
better demand ; the reduction of the price of bars in
Walls bag led to more orders being given out, and
the market may be considered firmer. Rails are
Inquired for, and prices are firm. Scotch pigs are
without alteration, but shipments are increasing;
mixed numbers, 721. 6d. to 73e. per ton. Lead is
rather more inquired for. Sponse is Tory firm.

department of the Beate—Alps, wowing the frontier by
' a tunnel through Mont Gilliam, bee received the apps °ha-
-1 tion of the Pouts et Chaos, fee. 13111•67/ for the continua-
tion of this road on the Piedmoatess territory sop to Buse
erect present being made with the approbation of the Sat-
dinian government. This important road, which would

Brianton, is destined, if earned into *mention, to be pro-
longed towards Central Italy Wis Turin to Locoed, and to
belaced in communication with F 10,02011 sad Rome.
TILE BONAPARTA&—The Paris oorreepoodeot of
Li .Nord states that the special commission appointed by the
Emperor Napoleon some time ago to examine into another
delicate family matter—the differences between the Princess
of Canino and her husband—has now decided upon the still
more important gaited= of the validity of Priem Jerome's
first marriage with Ulu Paterson, in America, a matter
which was referred by the Imperial nephew of the person
most concerned to the same discreet', conesellon. The
result of the investigation is, that the validity of the
marriage, which, to the treat offense of Napoleon 1., wee
always maintained by the Pope, and a divorce consistently
refused by tile holy see, is now confirmed by the Imperial
commission, and the consequence is, that a young sone-
lieutenant in the French army, the graining of Print*
Jerome and M. Paterson, mast be ?emptiest' ise a legiti-
mate member of the Napoleon dynasty, and that Prince
Napoleon, the son of Jerome by his second marriage, would
be excluded. . . .

BRIDGE 01 THE Mau.—The plan which has
been adopted for the new " Bridge of the Alma," at Pit*
includn the erection of a statue at each of the four piano(

—Tnentnestriv, Titnantnr.—Coesiderable sensation has
been created hers by the apprehension of Mr. Theodore
Watts, lets manager of the Tewkesbury branch of the
Gloucestsnhire Beak, ea a chugs of havieg esebeenled
monies to the 1111711111 of upwards of 3,C001. the seemed
hes been brought before the =ogles/mesa( the borough, and
en inquiry partially entered into, Mr. Reddlunne, of the
0 &turd Circuit, conducting the prosecution. deco/ding to
Mr. liuddintone's statement, the mewed is charged with
having advanced to several parties sums of mosey amount-
ing to between 1,7001. and 1,8001, which sums were not es-
te red in the banking Woks, and else that be he. sada
alterations in the books of the beak affecting the haleness of
parties keeping neonate there. There is also as alleged
deficiency of some 1,5001. net eneuated for. The ease was
not funy entered into, but the seaweed was mended for •
time, to mike further Investigation. Ball was offered.
AN Asensio Texas Gaisvaffca.—Laet night, a
public meeting of the inhabitant, of Greenwich wee held in
tbt hall of the Literary Institution, to take Into considera-
tion an crier Wined by the Commksionsre of damned Tease
cstiog upon the ratepayers, and also these liable to the
yayment of income tax ia the town, to make good the defog-
cations of the late collector, Isaiah Douglas Lune, who had
absconded. The chair wee taken by Mr. M. Chambers,
and M.P. for the boron h. Veinal 'pinhole were
dein:wed, showing that the deficiency mounted to upwards
of 2,0001., to meet which a re-assemment of 3s. in the
pound on the ones amount payable on property, and 21. Gd.
on that of neon's, had been made. Preendiop were
shown to have been taken in the Court of Exchequer egaint
the sureties of Laced end a verdict is favour of the crown
followed ; the alleged grievance being, that between the
time of the absconding of tin collector sod the °blankly( of
the above verdict, the sureties had sot been engin atter,
and had thus been allowed the opportunity of matting tree
property and beaming non sat themselves, whereas suffi-
cient might have been obtained to cover their liabilities, and
have rendered the present rrusessment unnecessary. Re-
foliations were adopted appointing a committee to impure
into the affects of the sureties, and to petition the Treasury
upon the subject.
THE NEWSPAPER TRADE.—A GOOD EXAMPLE.—
We have great pleasure in announcing tbet the whole of the
hands employed in the establiettmeat of Meters. Dawson
and Son, the welAccown news agoras, de., numbering 41,
tucludirg their wives, were on Tuesday and Thursday pro-
vided with a good sentential dinner at the Talbot Hotel,
Richmond, at each of which a member of the firm presided.
Various touts were given approptiats to the occasion, when
the pasty adjourned and distributed themselves in a number
of small boats sad prneeded to Twickenham Alt, whets
they partook of some refreshment and returned to Rich-
mond, at which plus tea was provided, otter which the
whole returned to town, basing spent one of the happiest
slays in their lives. (As the nature of the newspaper trade
renders It requi-its for a portion of the hands to remain on
the premises to pack papers for the evening's despatch, it
was found expedient to divide them into two divisions, the
one on the Tanday and the other on the Thursday.)
REPRESENTATION OF PRESTON.—It is DO A posi-
tively 'tend that Mr. Parker will not vacate his seat for
Preston daring the present nemiee. The conservatives
either cannot agree ea to who should be invited to succeed
Wm, or they dad it difficult to procure a gentleman who
would be willing to do se, and Mr. Patter has been induced
to hold his seat some time longer.—Manchester Gucnitcus.
