mining shares are the same as those last current
yesterday. East Caradon shares are officially
marked in the Stock Exchange 344 ; East Cain
Brea, 12i ; and Wheal Ludoott, IN and 101.
Foreign and colonial mining shares are steady.

The steamship Edinburgh, which arrived in the
Mersey yesterday from New York, brought deepate.bes from
Mr. Seward to Mr. Adams, United States Minister at Lon-
don, calling upon the British government to prohibit the
departure from our ports of vessels having no other object
in view than that of piracy.
We under stand that some important questions arising out
of the destruction of British property by the Confederate
steamer Alabama have been brought before the government,
and have by them been submitted to the law officers of the
Crown. A report is said to have been made upon them
which will be laid before her Majesty's ministers imme-
diately for their consideration—moat probably at the
Cabinet Council which is to be held today (Friday).

days, of the steamer Great Britain, from
Melbourne, with 100,721 oz. of gold and
