quiet and without any important change in pries.

shares have been dealt in at 24 and 231 ex dir., and
Sortridge Consols at 2t.
We have few observations to make respecting
metals this week, the market for all descriptions
having been very quiet; and although priors gene-
rally have not declined, yet the quotations, however,
must be considered nominal, and if busioes• was
forced lower rates must be accepted. Stocks, how-
ever, are generally light.
We notice that a public meeting of parties Inter-
ested in mining property is invited for the 26th in-
, @tent at the London Tavern, with reference to the
bill lately introduced into parliament relative to the
assessment of mines to the reliefot the poor. •
