Under the influence of the intelligence from Paris
mimic° to the rumoured resignntion of the French
ministry, and the con:, queot uncertainty and
excitement which prevailed in that metro-
polis, the English funds opened this morn-
ing at a decline of 1 on the chsicg rates of Sa•
turday's market. Tee tenor of the advice. since
received, however (published in a second edition of
the Daily News), has been considered satisfactory, as
throwing more light upon the actual position of
affairs in the present crisis, and the efforts of the
" bears " have cons, quently been unavailing to
weaken the confidence which generally prevails in
the prospect of a rising mike. Consuls were first
celled 964 to ex die. fur the 16th inst., but the price
has since improved to 961„ and is now quoted 961

MINES.

(Fran the Deily News.)
SATURDAY ETININO

A continued dulness has pervaded the market
during the week, and a disicclination to buy
to any extent either in dividend or specula-
tive mines, and in consequence prices have
slightly declined. A like depression lies generally
been observed at this period of the year, and
therefore we may look upon it as of a mere
temporary character. The reports frum the mining
districts are favourable cud metals curlicue firm.

Discovery of copper ore.—Copper ore has been
obtained from a field at Lee, Ilfracombe. It is said
that the discoveries already made will justify the
commencement of mining operations; should the sug-
gestion b=, acted upor, the future condition of Ilfra-
combe will be materially affected.
The Board of Trade returns Wired this day furnish
us with the imports and exports of metals for the
month ending the sth of Dec., as will as the corre-
sponding month of last year. The exports of
all articles have been carried on upon a greatly in-
creased scale. Of all descriptions of copper the ex-
ports are, for the month, 39,330 cwt in 1850, against
32,934 cwte. in 1849, and 27,342 certs. in 1848;
whilst iron shows a proportionate increase, the total
figures being 1850, 52,856 tons; 1849, 48,718 tons;
1818, 31.872 tons. These results are also fully borne
ont by the figures for the eleven montbs ending with
the same date.
