As regards other stocks there is no movement of im-

Foreign and colonial mining shares have met with
namely any business.
At a meeting of the adventurers in Rae Wheal Falmouth,

balance of MI. is. against the mine. A all of 61. per share
was made, payable on September 3rd.
At a meeting of the adventures in Wed Sharp Tor, held

HER MAJESTY'B THEATRE.

The Queen and Prince Albert, with several of the
younger members of the royal family, honoured Bee
Majesty's Theatre with their presence last evening. The
ores wes Ls Zingers (The Bohemian Girl), which the
royal visitors have now seen at this theatre both in its
original and in its Italian shape. In this latter form it con-
tinues to run its coon as triumphantly aa ever. The home
was crowded to the ceiling, and the audience were enthu-
siastic in their applause—of Oiuglinrasinging especially. A
new feature has been given to the performance by the substi-
tution of a fresh finale, which is better suited to l'iocolontini's
style than the original one, and is, moreover, exceedingly
pretty sad effective.

TUE ORATE OF L.S.L.

I felt a solemn awe, as if I were treading upon hallowed
ground, when going into the furthermost court-yard from
the entrance, and tbo nearest to the Fes. Here L. E. L. a
buried. Red tiles and quadrangular dap, scarcely dis-
cernible from the mass of rubbish over them, pointed out to
me the burial places of officers, all without tnscriptiona to
signify whose ashes repose below. A tablet to the memory
of James Swaney, Esq., is flied in the wall on the left side
' after you enter the court. On the opposite aide, and directly
facing her grave is the following inscription on a marble
slab .—" Hie jacet sepnitum owns good mortals fait L. E.
Maclean, quam egregil °mat= indole, Muds unioe ornatam
omniumque amores swum trahentem, in ipso retitle flora more
immature rapuit, die Octobria 16mo, 1838, retatis 3610. Quad
spectes, victor, marmor' Teuton hen hen doloria, montimentom,
coojnx mare= esexit." Which may thus be emulated for the
unclassical reader Here lies interred all that was mortal of
L. E. Maclean, adorned with a pure mind, eingalszly favoured
of the Muses, and drawing the love of all towards her. Pre-
mature death snatched her away in the dower of her
age, on the 16th October, 1838, aged 36 years. The marble
which you behold, oh traveller I a sorrowing husband bee
erected—vain monument of his grief."
Of a more humorous east is the following portrait of

XING ETAMEA.
No man was more impressed with an idea of the dignity
attachable to the trappings of royalty than Eyamba; and
so he must have a carriage. But the horses soon died, after
chugging out life for same time ; the skeletons of two only
were visible about Duketown, perfect anatomies virant,s, at
the time of my first visit there. When I beheld the nature
of the streets and roade;in and about the town, it was a marvel
to me how Eyamba could find a place broad or level enough
for four wheels to roll upon. Bat ho did mato out a few
yards meet for that purpose ; and there it was his custom to
have the carriage drawn before him by a number of slaves,
whilst he walked after it, with his shining brass crown upon
his head, and an immense partycoloured parasol held aloft by
a strong-armed man. The Irishman who got into a sedan
chair, and finding the bottom of it, said "he might as well be
walking, were it not for the grandeur of the thing," had
a nearer semblance to state than this gander•brained
monarch, who often used to boast of his desire to see Wel-
lington and Napoleon, that ho might show his tire-eminence
over them, and who was accustomed to sign all his letters and
documents as Eyamba V., " King of all black men :"
But all African monarchs are not thus conceited.

LITERATURE.

Impressions of Western Africa. By Thomas J.
HIPICIMISON, Esq. London : Longman.
There are two great reasons why Englishmen
should take much interest in Africa. In the first
place, by establishing the alive trade we did her a
grievous wrong; in the second place, our commerce
with Africa is great, and may be enormously in-
creased. We need cotton and palm oil, and in
Africa they can be produced to any amount. For
some time to come, these books on Africa by, persons
who have been there: will be interesting to all classes
of the community. To such the perusal of Mr.
Hutchinson's little volume will afford real pleasure.
Our author has resided in Africa eight years. As
a medical man, he can speak of its climate ; and as
her Britannic Majesty's consul for the Bight of
Biafra and the island of Fernando Po, he may be
supposed to know something of its people and pro.
ducts. Mr. Hutchinson's opinions appear to be
that the coast is not so unhealthy as is generally
supposed ; that the more commercial Africa be-
comes the more rapidly and effectually will the
slave trade be put down ; and that we must rely on
its cotton, and shea-butter, p.nd palm oil,
rather than on its ivory,
.gold dust, or cop.
per ore. Very learnedly, indeed, does Mr.
Hutchinson discuss the terrible malaria which pro.
duces such fatal effects on Europeans, but his con-
clusion is that its cause and origin are still un-
known. Mr. Hutchinson does not confine his
attention, however, to commercial or scientific mat-
ters. He paints the manners and customs of the
natives briefly and with skill. We could make
many a readable extract did our space permit. At
Cape Castle our author visits

appear substantial enough to induce them to risk what little
they bad in the endeavour to better their condition, and Mr.
Allsop's speculation proved for the main part • failure, and
the estate was brourjht to the hemmer in 1849. Mr. Allaop,

THE CAPE MAIL.

COT ELECTRIO TELEGRAPH.)
(FROM mitt OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PLYMOUTH, FILIDAY.

The steamer Norman, Captain Boxer, arrived at
Plymouth last night (Thursday), bringing the
monthly mails from the Cape, &c., a cargo of
colonial produce, valued at over 10,0001., and only a
few passengers. The Norman left the Cape June
27 ; St. Helena, Jane 30 ; Ascension, July 4.
At the Cape trade and business were generally in
a flourishing state. A crisis that was threatened in
money matters during the last month had subsided,
and affairs throughout the colony bear a character
of stability. Some wool speculators had sustained
heavy losses. A bill had been introduced to take ofi•
all restrictions on money transactions, but was
thrown oat by the House of Assembly.
Immigration was progressing favourably. All the
immigrants that had arrived were employed, and
facilities were adopted by the colonists for obtaining
more by free and assisted passages.

The difficulties between the-free lade Boers and
Basutos were still unsettled.

The Cape parliament had recommended Sir George
Grey to accede to President Boshot's application to
act u mediator between the belligerents; but it
was afterwards discovered that Boshof had also ap-
plied to Pretorins for assistance, to save the free
atate from being obliged to ask for the mediation of
the British, and that an armed party from the trans-
Vaal had marched into the free state.

Sir George Grey had, therefore, taken no steps
towards the proposed mediation. The French
consul had claimed the interference of the govern-
ment on behalf of the French missionaries attacked
by the free state Boers.
The breakwater in Table Bay was to be built by
colonial funds, as government declined to assist.

The outward mail steamer l'hcche arrived, June
16. Her Majesty's ships Boscawen and Lynx were
at Simon's Bay, and Trident, Medusa, and Vesuvius
at Ascension.
