back of 24, and in the bottom cf Thome' shaft,
Appearances at the edit level driving north of Wray's
shaft have very much improved, the vein is of a
promising character, and had lately produced some
particles of gold when washed in the " flatea," and a
discovery of importance may be exincted in this part
of the mine ; the end is now within 30 fathoms of
some old surface workings, and abut 90 from the
large excavations mentioned in lust report; beyond
this, and in the same direction, are the workings of
Morro ass Alma., of which report speaks very
favourably, but the old miners were obliged to aban-
don it, having sunk as deep as their limited power
would allow them to go ; the present adit level if ex-
tended to his place, will be of immense &pit, and
open a dry Mne of considerable magnitude.

SUNDAY TRADING IN BEIGIONDSET--A general
meeting at the master hatchets of ads popst:oue district of
the metropolir, to,,k place last evening, at I fv• !Leal Tavern,
Beresondsf y square, for the purpo of taking into consider-
ation the pruisions of a bull anon. to be introduced into
parliament, by Mr. Williams, M.l'. for Lambeth, the object
of which is to suppress Sunday trading as ler se possible.
Mr. J. Hayman presided, and sweet, that from communica-
tions which he bad had with shout 300 butehers, be was con-
vinced that they were almost to • man in favour of a mom
which should enforce entire closing on the Sabbath. They
well knew that if such a measure were pused it would have
a most beneficial effect in preventing the working duets
from wasting their money one Saturday night. The fealtof
all Sabbath legislation hitherto wee, that it was imprac-
ticable—a character which would oo rear vet by Mr.
Willsams's bill. lie then went through the douses. The
bill had the merit of being very short and definite in its
provision,. There are but 12 clauses. The first counties o
general prohibition against selling, b ,wking, crying, or
publicly t tiering ter exposing for rale in any shop, warehouse,
market, thoroughfare, or other place within the metropolitan
police district or the city or liberties of London, any goods,
chattels, effects, matter, or thing whatever (the excepted
liniCiti are afterwards stated.) The second clause continues

tits existing statutes as to nevem, steam peekete, club houses,
&n. Tao third takes away the responsibility at servants.
The exempted articles are declared by the fourth clause to
be: medicines or drugs for medicinal purposes; milk, before
nine to the morning and after one in the afternoon; tea,
coffee, ready-dressed food, or other refreshments, in any
eedfee shop, &e., before ten in the morning and utter MO in
the afternoon, or at any period of the day to lodgers or re-
sidents; meat or fish, before nine, between May and
October ; fruit, pastry, &c , before nine and after one ; news-
men beret" ten and alter one; and cigars and tobacco
after one. The fifth clause pteecrihes the penalties
on conviction-5.. for the first offence ; trom ss. to 20s. for
the second; end from 20s. to 40v. for the third ; only one
penalty to be incurred in a day until the third offence.
The 6th death authorises the goods of hawkers to be seised,
redeemable on payment of Is. By tit' 7th clause, no
articles, except meat, fish, peaky, fruit, pastry, or Me, CIA
be delivered after 10 o'clock. The re:teeming clauses relate
to the enforcing of the act, and the reenvnry of penalties. It
is to cone into cperetion on the let of June. The several
clauses were di cussed seriatim, and appeared to meet with
general approval; and a resolution was come to, "diming
the necessity of acme legislative enactment for securing one
day's rest in seven.
ACCIDENT TO A SMCCGI.ER.—.Vt six o'clock on
Monuay mornin.t last a man was found lying on a ledge of
the cliff, about 60 feet above the level of the beach, a short
distance to the east cf the Ecelesbourne coast guard station.
On the ledge were 15 tube of spirits, teed us the beach below
were a quantity more, nuking 53 in all. Two of the tuba
OR the ledge were broken, one being quite empty, and the
other standing upright about half full. The man, whose
name is John Tilden, lay helpless on the ground, being
evidently much injured by falling from the cliff above. His
head was severely wounded, and it was afterwards found
met Lie body was much bruised, esnicial:y on one of the
Leigh.. It is suNosed that he had laid there from two in
the morning. Toe upper part of his dress was 'asked in
blood, and he was saturated with water from the rsin which
had tall-u. He was unable to move, and was beaumbed
, with cold, but not insensible. The horrors of his situation
' during the night were aggravated by fears as to the falling
of the overhanging cliffs, a fragment of which fell as he lay
and struck bin. on the stomach. Close by him was the
half tub of brandy, from which he would tarn have refreshed
himself, but he was enable to reach it owing is the injuries
he had received. On being discovered he was removed to
the preventive station, where he remained a short time,
after which he was conveyed to the Hastings Infirmary.
Oa examination it was found that he had broken no bones,
though be was severely bruit d and shaken. The coast
guard knew nothing of the occurrence. He was very reserved,
showing no disposition to commit himself. Os the morning
of the occurrence a boa*, containing twa men, landed on the
beach at Hastings, its oecupants.tatine that they were come
ashore for beef. Having tended, they forthwith decamped.
The coast guard took possession of the craft, which is a
French punt without any name on her. utnour state.
that two tubs of spirits wee. "run" over the cliff. The
locality selected for this daring enterprise was a most
dangerous spot, the cliff rising to a greet defied.. Of course
the tubs are in safe custody. Neither the spirits nor the
beet are very likely to be claimed —Brighton Herald.
FIRE.—On Saturday evening one of the most
destructive fires which has occurred in Edinburgh for a
considerable period broke net in the printing establishment
at Clifford Park, of Mr. Thomas Nelson, tne well known
publisher. The premises, which were only erected three
or four years ago, consist of a handsome range of two story
buildiesia, the eastern extremity of which is occupied, the
ground floor as an engine house, and the upper story as a
store for printed works, paper, &a. The fire originated in
the engine holm referred to, hut what was the Immediate
C 2060 cannot at present be ascertained, the men Waving all
lett and the place being shut up some time previously. It
was first discovered about 9 o'clock, when a dense volume
of flame was observed, by a woman reeioing is the Deign-
bouzhood, issuing with great violence from one of the
windows on the ground fiew. The alarm was immediately
conveyed to the pollee dike, and Superintei.dent Oillespie,
with four engine., was as soon as possible on the
spot. By this time, however, the flames had reached the
windows of the second story, in which, from the highly
combustible nature of its contents, they were making fear.
fel ravages. I' was at cm* *peanut that the total destruc-
tion of this portion of the bulling was inevitable, and the
firemen therefore directed their efforts to the preservation of
the rest of the premises, and the immediately contiguous
property, comprising Hoy's court, Gifford-perk, &e. in
this they were hip:illy succeraful, tor, though the fire raged
with almost unabated intensity till nearly I ..m., four hours
after its first dithovery, Its destructive effects were confined
to the portion of the building its wtich it originated. The
damage sustained in Ramis and property is, as nearly es
can be at present estimated, between 2,0001. and 3.01,01,
there having been probably not lees than 2,0001. worth of

Nelson is insured in the Norwich-office to an extent which
will fully cover all the lace which Lae been occasioned.—
