MINING INTELLIGENCE.

The report of the mining markets during the past
week, as set forth in the 3finina Journal, shows that
although no particular amount cf bareness was trans-
acted, a good proportion is likely to arise from r egoti-
ations going on. The reports from the mining dis-
tricts are generally of an improving character, and
for bolding mines there continues a fair demand at
buyers' prices. West Caradon is represented to have
very considerably improved during the put few days,
and buyers arc found at advanced prices. Holmbash
is much improved in the flap-jack lode. In Kingsett
and Bedford they have discovered a very productive
lead lode. Buyers may be found for Trelawny, Mary
Ann, Bedford United, and other improving mince.
West Ballets have been in request at an advance.
Among the Welsh mines we find Eagair Lli and
Llwynmalees have been Bought for, and business may
be done at higher quotations.
At a meeting of the United Mines adventurers, on Wed-
nesday, a dividend of 101. per share was declared. At the
East Wheal Crofgy meeting, the accounts showed a profiton
the March and April workings of 2221. ss. Id., which made
a balance in hand of 2.3.501 Os. 21., from which a dividend
of 4701. was paid, leaving 1,8081. 2s.
The directors of the Devon Great Coma, at their weekly
meeting, on Wednesday, declared a dividend of 71. 10s. per
share, or USW., on February and March workings—leaving
an available basses of 19.6961. 12a. 10d. in emir, Exchequer
Bills, and for ore sold and not yet doe. The official report,
we learn, advises of some improvements daring the put
week.
At the North Iterkear meeting, on the 16th, a profit of
2871. fis. 11d, was realised on February and March work-
ings. which, with the balance of 1,7721. 69. 7d. in bankers'
bands from end of January, amounts to 2,0391 14s. 6d
to credit of adventurers. No dividend was declared.
At the Great Pelgooth meeting foe February and Much
accounts, a dividend of 41. 10s. per share was declared,
carrying a credit of 1881. Bs. 11d. to next account. The
profit on ate two months' working was 1,2901. Bs. 11d.

in the 245 yielding 6 tons per fen. ; 330 nevi were
rusip'ed last week, and 100 tons more were broken,
hut us accident to the whim-engine precluded it
being rendered marketable at the time. At the
Kirkcudbrightshire meeting the statement of accounts
presented showed a balance of 1601. 16s. lel. in favour of
company. Upwards of 166 tons of lead have been raised
during the months of February, March, and April, being •
slight increase over the preceding quarter's returns Sines
the meeting we learn that a manifest improvement has
taken place in the mines; the two western levels mediate to
look well, and a cargo of ore has been lately shipped. At
the meeting of the Mendip Hills company, on Tuesday, the
statement of accounts for live months, ending in Aprd, were
produced, showing balance of about 1,2001. in favour of ad-
; venturers, including arrears of calls amounting to SM. The
chief object of the meeting appears to have beta the disposi-
tion of a large number of shares, which, according to the
rules and regulations of the company, were forfeited. But
an application having been made by • defaulting shareholder
for the restoration of his proportion, on payment of the calls
due, the directors deemed it advisable to c melt the views
of a general meeting, who unanimously reeoived not to sc-
um them, but to leave the mode of disposal to the decision
of the directors; in consequence, however, of tne absence of
one of the board, the decision was deferred._ The re-

--- '— port advises that arrangemews were in progress f.r mating
the most satisfactory returns from this important property.
At the meeting of Great Rough T. r Consols, on 'Wednes-
day, a call of per share woe deemed necessary, for further
prosecuting the mines. A detailed report 05 the present
position and prospicts of the mines was presented from Mr.
Hitchine, of Devon Great Consols.
At the Runnsford Cowen meeting, the amorists showed a
balanee in favour of the company of 1701.4.. Pd., and the
agent's report represented the mine to be in an improving

The meeting of shareholders in the National Brazilian
Mining Association passed over most harmoniously, anti
formel a gratifying contrast with those held in 1846, when
a division was caused by the perfectly unlooked for and un-
wise conduct of an individual, who it seems has considered
it prudent to foreze his threatened attempt to place himself
again la the direction, and did not even chew on this occa-
sion. Tae fullest confidence in the exertions of the now only
two directors, Meows. Oxenford and Hamilton, is gaining
ground with the gradual improvement of the mines; the
report, though perhaps not so satisfactory as to present
returns as might be wished, showed, by oemparisen, and by
the geological indications in the working, that, according to
all mining probability, a gradual increase must continue,
and that a valuable deposit ii not far off;
and if those holders of marked share., who have
not yid their calls, would come forwerd and assist
the ciirecters to funds, it would cause a more rapid develop-
ment of tke resources of the property, which, in all probe-
bilify, are yet great. There is now an opportunity of these
hclders regaining their position in the association, and should
they miss the opportunity, and in a packet er two the ex-
pected cheering new* arrive of a great discovery being
made, they will only have themselves to blame that the deer
Is closed against them. It is but justice that those who have
toiled through the winter of barrenness, and supported the
very existence of the crop., should alone reap the golden
harvest. ripened by the summer's sun of patience and perm-
TETSUO!.
In foreign mines the transactions have been somewhat
limited during the week. St. John del Reys have receded ;
B.:Janos, Gaud leanel, United Mexican, and Australian, have
also changed hands at lower figures.
Despatches have been received by the directors of the
United Mexican, Bolanes, Imperial Brazilian, and Al:en
Mining Companies.
The United Mexican advice. are to the 9th April ; but
they contain no very important discoveries or improvements
in the underground operations. The manscur states that
the adopti, a of a new syttem of working has been attended
with successful results, inasmuch that a prefit of 2,000 dollars
per week has been realised. Copy of contract fur tho new
mines has rho been received by the director..
The Balsam; letters are to the Gth April, and report the
progress of the erections and machinery as satisfactory, and
that the engine will he ix work by the end of the month.
The underground operations arc limited, in c nsequence of
the water ; the veins are in general poor, but some tccroior.al
good work. Any improvement is not expected until atter
the water is in fork.
The directors of the Angle Mexican mince have been ad-
tiled, by their agent, of the receipt of 5,000 di-idlers for a por-
tion of their property, and be ieg still engoged in the disposal
of the remainder.

The manager, in reporting on the 3rd March, states that the
141 m. level, west of Welk r's shaft, is going rapidly through
the jacutinga formation, but bad not reached th, ;old best,
jog vein ; and that three bozos of favourable work had been
extracted from the 14ten. level, south of Thomas's shaft. On
the Gth he states that material improvements had taken
place in the 7 fm. h vel, north of Walter's cross-cut, and in
the 7 and 14 fm. levels, south of Thomas's shaft. The
prom.ects, on the whole, are more encouraging thin previous
advice,.
The Alton report for the month of March estimated the
total returns at 183 tons. The mining report states that at
Raipas Mine, after frequent changes, they bad succeeded in
boding a productive lode in the back of the 20 Ito. level, and

By IVIVICCb from Port Philip to the 7th Feb., cm learn that
gold ha. been found in the nelghbour:iood of the Pyrenees,
a district of about 120 miles to the west. This discovery
appears to have been very opportune, at a period when tho
inhabitants were making arrangements for emizrating to the
Californian gold gatherings. Ihe reports are vague ; conse-
quently, we wait the in xt ;Adrian for confirmation.
By the Indian mail, we learn that the metal markets of
the east continue in a favourable pnition ; whilst stooks of
some kinds are only moderate.

mand (or which has almost to4en off our stocks on band, an adrame
is asked. There is s fair busing in doing in printers, with a tendency
to an advance of prices. The home trade continues cteady as regards
goods suitable for the mason, but heavy cloths arc almost unsulesok.
In yarns there is not much change, but price s are rather firmer.

WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—LEEDB, MAY 26.—There was
a good attendance of merchants at our cloth halls this morning, and a
❑ttle more business was done in the aale of cloths of the finer descrio.
Lions than at our last market. Good wool.dyed blacks and waded
blase of the middle and lower qualities aim sold freely, and price?, if
anything, were rather firmer. In come of the wan:boos,. a pot
bueinc-o has been done during the week in clothe suitable for the
home trade.

HARDWARE.—Binmixonlot, MAY 26—Trade hcs
somewhat improved here during the last week. Some good orders
have acme in from America, and the home trade appear., to be rather
improving; in short, upon the whole, business is in a much more
satisfactory state than it was a mouth since. From the neighbour-
hood of titourbridge we learn that the coilmasters have reduced the
price of coal, and that the wages of the men have been all reduced.

such lips, the Bishop of EXETER may count upon as
many antagonists as his heart can wish. Considerable
dubiety prevails in Scotland at present as to which is
the true church of Scotland. The residuaries claim
the title for the estiblishinent, the Free Kirk for the
last secession. while the United Secession and the
Cameronians alike assert respectively their superioi
rights to it. But nine hundred and ninety-nine Scotch
men in the thousand are at one as to which is not the
Church of Scotland. They all agree in repudiating
episcopacy, and especially that episcopacy which is of
indigenous growth.
Epiecopalians though we be, we can scarcely blame
them. Scotch episcopacy has, from first to last, been
a shabby affair. The Tukhan bishops of CHARLES 1.
and hie father were mere men of straw—mummers
dressed up in cassocks and lawn sleeves, to personate
the claimants of the bishops' revenues, and to band
over the money to the king and nobles, if they were
lucky enough to get hold of it. Even of these pseudo
bishops there was not or.o left at the blessed
restoration to ordain a new episcopal clergy
for the church which the moral and pious CHARLES 11.
aspired to found. They were obliged to catch a
presbyterian divine, commissioned by his co-preebyters
to present a memorial to the King, and be-bishop him
by the imposition of hands from Anglican prelates.
And this renegade presblter, with the associa'es
whom he selected, instigated and became the callous
instruments of a persecution unequalled for savage
ruthlessness by any the island had experienced under
Romish sway. At the revolution of 1688 the lawn
sleeves of the time-serving political episcopacy of
Scotland were found so be dabbled with gore that the
universal nation threw them out with intense disgust
—with " a perfect scanner," as they say in the north.
From that era down to about the close of last cen-
tury, the Jacobite church in Scotland was a mere
laughing-stock. Its ministers were a few poor and
weak-minded men, who ingratiated themselves with
the Jacobite tabbies by hawking from t ;stable to tea-
table relics of the Pre tender—fragments of his silk
waistcoats, splinters of his pill-boxes, and such like
stimulants to the devotion of old wives of both sexes
who believed in the divine right of kings. Except
during the physical force riots of 1715 and 1745,
their influence in public affairs was entirely unfelt,
and bat for a song in honour of an illicit still —" the
ewie wi' the crooked horn"—attributed to one of their
bishops, their land's literature knows them not.
For a brief period towards the beginning of the
present century a better spirit was breathed into
Scotch episcopacy. A number of intelligent English-
men had been invited to Scotland to assist in establish-
ing its infant manufactures. They naturally wisbrd to
worship there as they had been accustomed to do in
their native homer, and English clergymen followed
to confirm them in so praiseworthy a resolution.
By degrees, as the old non-During Scotch clergy died
out, their congregations merged in those of the immi-
grants. The new episcopal clergy were, as men of
sense and literary acquirements, infinitely superior to
the feelic native growth they superseded, and not a
few of them were men of liberal political principles.
Men like ALIsON, MOREHEAD, and others their con-
temporaries, would have made any church respected
and liked. The consequence was that a more manly
and rational tone was infused into that superiority in
point of social refinement, which hag throughout re-
mained a characteristic of the Scotch lay episso-
pslians, and that not a few of the most distinguished
s'eceehmen---e ecially of the literary cla s—sought
refuge in that church from the (to them) repulsive
peculiarities of Calvinistic presbyterianism.
But this bright morning was soon overcast : some
Itatality seems to brood over episcopacy in Scotland.
The fantastic spirit of tractarianism, in its most rabid
state, has seized upon the rising episcopal clergy of
Scotland, and established itself in their episcopal
stalls. They affect to be the uninterrupted
descendants of the unreformed episcopal church
in Scotland, although the series has been
twice interrupted, and with nothing but
the Tukhan bishops to fill up the interval
between the breaks. They aff. ct to fall back upon an
earlier and less protestant communion service than
his been adopted by the Church of England. They
out-Herod the mediaeval fooleries of Oxford. Against
the persecution of these men a few exemplary clergy-
men of English ordination have appealed to the cull-
stitutional bishops of England, and the Bishops of
Oxeono and EXETER scud them back into the clutches
of their fantastical oppressors. In common with
many well-wishers of our English church, we have
been apprehensively looking torward to a large se-
cession from it as the probable result of the S mine
persecution; and we cannot but fear that our bishops,
by making common cause with the Scotch bishops
against ill-used presbyters of the Church of England,
easy accelerate the event. The first blast of the
storm which in the seventeenth century for a time
levelled our episcopal church with the ground, came
from Scotland.
To return to the Bishop of EXETER. his contro-
versial frenzy, like that of his great precursors
BECKETT and LAUD, appears to be turning into
mono-maniac aspiration after the martyr's crown.
In a mood unprecedentedly relenting, he vowed on
Tuesday night that he " most sincerely wished the
day were ome when imprisonment for wouldiCcal offence inferring excommunication be
abolished." But the old ADAM was too strong within
him for this mood to last, and ere he had finished, the
unmitigated HENRY of EXETER was heard to declare
that the thirty-nine Articles laid down the doctrine,
that members of the English church domiciled in Sc it-
land ceased to be members of that church ; and that
"he would feel it his duty, if any of the clergy in
his diocese denied such to be the fact, to institute
proceedings against him." Having thus re-assumed
his wonted attitude of defiance to all corners, he la-
boured hard to provoke Lord BROUGHAM—the rea-
diest of all the noble lords present to engage in a
row, from slicer love of fighting—to impeach him
for tese-majestj of the glorious constitution of
1688. Ile protested that he honoured the Scotch
episcopalians for their allegiance and loyalty to
the House of STUART." He lauded them for refusing
to pray far the reigning sovereign until "the last
descendant of limes died." And when Lord
BROUGHAM checked him for not having the fear of
the articles of union before his eyes, for
unchurching the kirk of Scotland, and declaring the
episcopal the church of Scotland, he challenged the
noble and learned baron " to take down his words,
and, if he spoke against the act of parliament, call
him to account."
This last piece of magnanimity was so much in the
Don Quixote or Sir Launeelot Creams style,
that even the fiery mid pugnacious BaouGium
saw the ridicule of breaking a lance in such a quar-
rel, and for once held his tongue. The Bishop of
EXETER, however fond he may be of inflicting
martyrdom on others, will find no one weak enough
to retaliate. But it is for the laity of our national
church to consider seriously how far its respectability
is compromised, its usefulness impaired, and even its
stability endangered by such puerile exhibitions on
the part of one of its prelates.

LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 28.
Trim are only two modes of compelling the
attention or of awakening the interest of parliament :
one is, to bring forward a question backed by such a
majority in the berme as will menace a ministerial
change; or supported by such a majority out of doors
as may cause the prudence of members to combat
their inclination.
A man or a party, who would seek to advance the
most salutary and patriotic aims, can never hope to
get the ear of the House of COmmon., unless the
appeal is made to the selfish fears and anxieties of
members in either of the ways described. Now, un•
fortunately,the great questions of financial and parlia-
mentary reform do not touch their sensitive parlia-
mentary nerves. All know the overwhelming majority
that exists in the House of Commons for the minten-
sues of patronage and expenditure. All know the
unfitness of finance to arouse popular passions
and the unwillingness of the middle class to
bang excitement or intimidation to bear for such
purposes. The consequence is, that parliament has this
year received every motion for every object connected,
with economy or reform, with the most withering in-
difference. Proposals for economy have been scouted,
and, as for reform, the aristocracy seems so confident
of having for ever bolted the door in its face, that it
does not deign even to come in sufficient numbers to
stifle it. Such was the case with the motion for tri- 1,
crags! parliaments. As to the ballot, a measure once
approved of by the whigs themselves, they either meet
it with contemptuous silence, or with arguments at
once so commonplace, or so impertinent, that no one
could think of meeting them with reasons. It is to
numbers they will alone succumb.
Such associations as those of which we duly recorded
the meetings in the City of London the other day,and
in Manchester on Thursday last, ale the natural results
of the combined and hostile position taken up in par-
Bement by the three aristocratic and official partite
which compose its majority. For the present,
the people have but themselves to depend
upon. Far from having even a detachmett
of the aristocracy with them, they can scarcely count
upon a single member. The Bennerrs and the
Ftrzwittissis are no more. The GRITS and the
RUSSELL'S are no longer what they were, when their
names were in opposition. (Laving lent their assist-
ance to free trade, they seem to think that the popular
party should be satisfied, should abandon all plans of
economy or reform, and, infect, should abdicate in the
hands of the aristocracy
Now truly, if the radicals of this country were
a subversive party, if they aimed at revolution, and
the casting down of the aristocracy from power by
any violent catastrophe, the thorough liberals of Eng-
land
could take no shorter path to this than to
abandon all care of public affairs, to allow the present
spendthrift classes to continutgin the full a ring of e
ii-
travagance, to let them increase the army, augment
the navy, and adopt the policy akin to such increase
by intervening and dictating in the affairs of foreign
countries. This would soon swell the budget by the
expenses not only of a war establishment, but of
an expedition to Rome, of fleets to Denmark. A
few more millions thus added tra:our annual expendi-
ture, and the necessities of inventing times to meet
them would soon bring matters to a pass, and make
the work of financial, aye, and parliamentary reform,
a very brief and precipitate work. But reformers
would anxiously avoid this. Their efforts are to save
the aristocracy from their own tendencies, to obviate
revolution, and to effect that gradually and sensibly
which will be wrought by the popular whirlwind, if
it be waited for and provoked. We should
(therefore strongly urge, not only all those
who are for financial and parliamentary reform per se
toin these associations, but all who desire peace and
ceder,
with that economy of means and balance of
accounts, without which no business, public or private,
can be prosperously or satisfactorily carried on.
Mr. GEORGE WILSON very fully represented, in
the Manchester meeting, of Thursday, where the
evil of aristocratic influence was to be combated, and
how it was to be combated. The county members
are all dead against the people. They voted en masse
against economy, as they compelled their
farmers and dependents to vote on the hustings.
They are resolved to proscribe thelballot, under the
pretext that the farmers are a freespoken race, and
consequently do not require to be a free-acting one
In agricultural districts now there exists no class,
save the squires and their dependents. There used
in England to be a class of independent yeomen.
These have disappeared, and the great object of the
present societies is to replace them by a similar body
of independent freeholders, who have saved their
money in the tower", and consent to invest it ip such
property as will secure a county vote. In,
this the associations are not creating any
new independent electoral element, they are
merely seeking to restore an element that has been
swept from the surface of the land, and which formed
no un-influential portion of the English character
and English constitution. Besides, there is retribu-
tive justice in this. It was the wealth produced in
the towns, which by overflowing into the country,
raising its rents, as well as the whole scale of agricul-
tural remuneration—it was this which expelled the
yeoman from his holding. Is it not very Lard, that
the town should thus impart its wealth, without im-
parting its influence and its ideas, and that the ad-
mad doctrines of liberty, peace, economy, and free
trade should flourish within the boundary of a mer-
cantile corporation, whilst the feudal lords of the
country around, that country enriched by such a
mine, should remain subject in its tenures, its
its population, and its political weight, to old:feudal
and traditional habits of squirodom ?
What we should like to see, however, would be
the scheme of electoral extension, promulgated by
these associations, wrought into something for the
social improvement of the labouring classes. What
these stand most in need of is a just and honourable
investment for the savings of a life; come investment
more sure than speculation and high interest can
give, more solid and useful to a family than
deferred annuities—more calculated to restore
the class of yeomen. Whilst the wealth and pride of
the squires are so oft recruited from the counting-
house, why should not the number of British yeomen
be recruited from the ranks of the skilled and saving
artisan? This would necessitate, indeed, the throwing
open of the trade in land ; but it would at the same
time obviate the emigration of the most valuable of
characters and classes to a foreign land.
These, however, are but some of the vistas into'
which these liberal and truly patriotic associations
point and open. Their present and immediate objects
are indispensable to the welfare and to that just influ-
ence of the industrious classes, which form the best
guarantee of a progressive and a wise government, as
well as of an orderly and contented people.

PARIS, SATVRDAY, 6'310 P
After a stormy sitting yesterday, during which
every subject was touched upoa besides that on which
the debate originated, namely, the demand for a com-
mittee of inquiry into the c mduct of General Chan-
gamier, the hlationsl Assembly voted the simplo
order of the day by a majority. A committee of the
members of the present assembly would have been of
little use, and it is best that it was not voted; but the
conduct of General Changarnier is condemned by all
men of sense, and it may ultimately lead to an-
noyance to him in the new legislative chamber, where
he will have moreto fear than from any decisions which
might be taken by a dying assembly like the present
one.
M. de Forbin Janson,
first secretary of the French
embassy at Rome, arrived yesterday in Paris with
despatches from M. Lesseps for the government. The
armistice, and the terms to which it is hinted that
M. Lesser has come, have deeply wounded the feel-
inr of the reactionary journals, who dreamt of no-
thing lees than the forcible entry into Rome of the
French force, the re-establishment of the Pope in all
his old power, and the abolition of the republic. How-
ever, the Debate, which cannot be accused of partia-1
lity to the Roman republic, admits that the feeling in
the Roman States generally is against the reinsert-
ration of a government of priests.
It appears from the lists of non re-elected members
of the Constituent Assembly that their number
amounts to a total of 489 representatives, the chief of
whom are Messrs. Lamartine, Marrist, Senard,
Gamier Pages, Pagnerre, Corbon, Carnot, Flown,

Tna Bishop of EXETER is a very cormorant of con-
troversy. Were the whole world to rise up to argue I
with him, his " great disputatiousness had stomach
for them all." Not contented that he already stands
at fend with one-half of the members of his own epis-
copal church, he on Tuesday night dared the collective
presbyterianism of Scotland to the field. In virtue of
his self-bestowed pontifical authority he, in Laconic
phrase, erased the Kirk of Scotland from the list of
churches, and installed the northern branch of epis-
copacy Church of Scotland in its stead. He declared
in the House of Lords that " he could not, as a bisllbp,
admit that the Kirk of Scotland was a church accord-
ing to his view;" and, when checked by the discreet
and cautions BROUGILLM for designating the Scottish
episcopacy "the Church of Scotland," the doughty
prelate of EXETER declared " he would call it what
be pleased."

to think anything worthy of notice that falls from

sional government or under the presidency of Gen.

Troops are continuing to march to Paris from all
quarters ; and at Marseilles and Toulon, also, fresh
arrivals and embarkations are continually taking place.
Stabile (lately Minister of Foreign Affairs in bicily),
Amari (Minister of Finance), and Farina (Minister of
War), are in Paris. It is not true, as stated, that
Ruggiero Settimo has arrived in Paris.
P.S.—lt was ramourcd in the Salle de Pea Perdu*
to-day that the President of the Republic and the
ministry had completely disavowed the negotiations
of M. Leseepe with theltoman Republic.
We have announced the escape of seven convicts
from Toulon ; a letter from Frejus gives some
sad details concerning the result of this escape.
The gendarmerie it that Plane were informed
on the 18th of the escape of these men, and of their
being at that moment some distanee from a ferry on the
river Argens. Five gendarmes reached at nightfall
the ferry-house, and one of them took charge of the
ferry. The forTais soon appeared, and hailed the
ferryman ; one of the gendarmes came out disguised,
and with a white cotton nightcap on his head, but
carrying two pistols in his hands. He was told that
there were seven men to pass who would come over
in couples. At that moment a man who was with
the forcola cried out that they were not speaking to
the regular ferryman. The gendarmes rushed out,
but were met by a discharge from the convicts,
tremendous fight enacted, during which ore gendarme
and one convict were killed, and several on both aides
-ounded.
