TOZSDAY
A fresh advance of 61. per ton has taken place to-
day in the price of English tin, and has contributed
to stimulate the improvement in the mining share
market. There was to-day an increased inquiry foe
many descriptions, including, more especially, Devon
Great Consols, South Frances, Wheal Basset, Vale
of Towy, Great Hewes, Wheel Edward, Tincroft,
East Tolgus, Par Consols, and Wheal Kitty (Lelant),
most of which were quoted higher. In many cases,
however, great difficulty is experienced in effecting
purchases, holders evincing little disposition to sell
at existing rates. North Frances and Wheal Tre-
lawney shares formed an exception to the general
character of the market, being dulL

In the morning some considerable bond M. pur-

THE POLICE COMM.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Henry Heckle, mAllen, ph Nnl, and Susannah who
have been severali times remanded upon the charge of being
concerned in three burglaries, committed on the premises of
two butchers, in High-street, Aldgate, owned Gardner end
Israel, were again brought before the Lord Mayor.
Mr. Humphreys, jun., attended for the prosecution, and
Mr. Wontner for the prisoner Buckle.
James Truman, Mr. Gardner's foreman, stated that on the
let January last he received on his master's account 491.
ss. fltd., which he locked up in the drawer of a writing-desk
in the counting-house in the evening, after which he put
the key in hie pocket, where it remained till the next day,
when he found that the drawer had been opened without it
and the money abstracted.
Eliza Lovegrove, a showily dressed young woman, stated
that in the month of January last she occupied lodgings at
No. 3, Glouxeter-street. She did not live with Buckle.
Some day in January he brought her some money—she
could not say how much—and put it in one of the chimney
ornaments. He called on a subsequent occasion, and took
it away with him. She imagined there was some gold, but
did not see it. She had never stated to anybody that Buckle
had brought her 261. She was confined on the 18th of
January. She never told her nurse that Buckle had brought
hew money.
In answer to the Lord Mayor, the witness said the purse
was a knitted one, and did not appear to be very heavy.
Although she cleaned her reom, she had neither time nor
curiosity to examine the contents of the purse. When she
first became acquainted with Hackle he told her he was a
single man, and promised to marry her.
Additional evidence was that gone into against Buckle
and Allen in connexion with a robbery at tbeimenisea of
Mr. Gardner on the 13th February ; and also Hinkle
and Neil for a burglary committed on the Bth March at the
premises of Mr. Ash Israel.
T. Welker, formerly in Mr. Israel's service, stated that on
the Bth Mani he heard Nell and Hackle talking in the
Turk's Heed, and Hackle said they could get into Israel's
house b a grating. The next day Neil told him he
thought Hackle had committed the robbery.
A pawnbroker's assistant produoed the ticket of a silver
watch and gold chain which be said had been pledged by a
female for 31. on the 12th January. It was redeemed by
Hackle on the 9td March, the day after the burglary at
Mr. Israel's,

The Lord Mayor said be considered the evidence in the
first came insufficient to justify him in committing the pri-
soners; but Buckle and Allen were committed for trial on
the second charge; Hackle was alao committed for trial on
the thin! charge, and Neil was discharged,

MINES.-THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoex.
Rather more business has been done to-day in the
mining market. South Frances, Wheal Basset,
Wheal Buller, Bedford United, and Kingston Down
shares, have been dealt in at the reduced quota-
tions lately established. The dividend on rArn Brea
shares will 1 e 21. per share. The lode in Barucoose
(Cara Brea :dine) is stated to be worth 2001. per
fathom.
The new shares of the Rhymney Iron Company
have been dealt in at 61. The old shares are quoted
22 to 221. Cobre Copper shares are still rather
offered.

At the half "early meeting on Tuesday of the 141 mm Lead
/dining Company a dividend was declared at the rate of
8.. 441. per share. For the six months ending December the
profits were stated at 12.1021.

WEDNESDAY EVVRIMO.
There is still not the slightest sign of a revival of
business in the mining market. Wheal Trehiwney
shares wore inquired for, at an advance, but moat
other descriptions were dull at merely nominal quota-
tions. South Frances shares were quoted lower.
The shares of the lion Accord Copper Mining
Company have improved. Other foreign descrip-
tions remain quiet.

SWITZERLAND.

A Paris letter, in the Independance of Brussels,
has the following on the subject of the negotiations
between France and Switzerland relative to pass-
ports:
The French government no longer requires, absolutely and
without exception, persons obtaining passports to present
themselves before the French diplomatic spate. In its last
despatch communicated to the Federal Council, it
says Diplomatic agents abroad: are authorised to
visa passports, without requiring persons to appear,
provided they belong to the country, and that the passports
have been granted by the government with a special recom-
mendation, and on its own responsibility." But a question
hie arisen respecting the interpretation to be given
to the words "by the government." The cabinet of
the Tulleise recognises only one government, the
Federal one, and accordingly the French minister declares
that he can only viser passports transmitted to him
by it. In Switzerland, on the contrary, it is contended that
as the country consists of a confederation of twenty-two
sovereign states, the French legation ought to be authorised
to viser the passports addressed to it by the governments
of the several cantons. Switzerland believes that, this
interpretation would present greater guarantees than
that which the French Minister propose*, inasmuch
as each cantonal government possesses better means of ob-
taining information respecting individuals than the Federal
government; but the minister replies that the Federal
government represents the twenty-two cantons, and that
the cabinet of the Ttulcries, in saying the " government of
the country," evidently intended to designate the Federal
government and no other; whilst as to the cantonal
governments being better able to give information
respecting persons, he remarks that each government can
transmit its information to the Federal government, which
is in a better situation than the French legation at Berne to
know the degree of confidence which at a given moment
such or such a cantonal government should inspire.

MUSIC.

SACRED HARYONIC SOCIETY. —The Fusion-
week performance a the Mamie* last evening, was remark-
able for the grave sad silent attention with which it was
listened to by the hamar audience. On ordinary occasion.
the conventional ouslif sakes with regard to =planes at the
concerts of this society have been greatly relaxed ; bat last
night the slightest expresion at this kind was blatantly sup-
pressed. Tis *ogre= part was sustained by Madame Cas-
tenets, who sang Mantifully, and with a nearer approach to
the traditional Randall= style than could have teen expected
from a performer whose practice and experience have hitherto
bees devoted to a dillwant branch of the art. She was
ctiocially enoonsfal in " Rejoice greatly," which she sang
with great brilliancy sad expression. Mr. Sires Reeves was
is excellent voice and sang magnificently ; and Mies Dolby's
rich contralto was beard to the greatest advantage. The
been part was divided between Mr. Thomas and Mr. nantlay.
The letter, notwithstanding his foreign education, is be-
coming a line Randall= @lnger.

Tat • Prn AND HAEITSON Coxerars.—Ths
third of them entertainments was given at Decry-leas last
night. Miss Louisa Pyne who had previously bernprevented
from singing by a heavy domestic affliction, now a
and was welcomed by the audience with the warmest-demon-
mations of enthusiasm. The concert was excellent. Among
several fine inetrumentel pieces there was Moschelee's con-
certo in E—the once immensely popular piece which contains
the "Grenadiers' March," played by Miss Arabella God-
dard, who, in addition to her superb performance, had the
merit of reviving a most warmly work, which has fallen
into undeserved neglect. Than was an smite selection from
Tice Rose of Castile, and a number of miscellaneous vocal
pieces, well chosen, sad well performed.

THB IKON TRADE.

BIRMINGHAM MARCH 31.

The preliminary meeting of the irontnaatera of this
district will be held to-morrow in this town. The result will
in all probability be a resolution to adhere to the price de-
clared at the trade meeting, in December last. All the large
firma are in favour of this course of action. They have bran
in the receipt of a few orders from America in the course et
the bust tan days, and the increased activity of the trade with
that quarter, as weU as in other departments of the expod
trade, is very confidently predicted by those who have access
to the bast sources of information on the subject. Moreover,
the peke for the best brands of finished iron is
sufficiently low to be remunerative to producers ; anarrtt
very doubtful if a reduction of the price would, under existing
circumstances, be the means of imparting greater buoyancy to
the trade. Its return to healthy action must be a work of
slow progress; but if we mistake not, traces of that progres-
sion are becoming daily more apparent. The producers of
inferior iron and the smaller firms are still short of orders,
and their pecuniary necessities have forced them to accept
prices considerably below those recognised by the trade. In
some instances bare have been sold at 71. 10s., and the same
description of iron made in North Staffordshire is reported as
having been sold as low as 71., such is the depressed state of
the trade in that district. Here, in addition to the depression
incident to the languor which pervades the general trade of
the country, most of the small firms are suffering from the
forced sales of the stocks of some of the insolvent houses;
and, until they are cleared off, a continued prejudicial influ-
ence on the trade will be felt. Best hot-blast pig iron is
quoted 31. Ida. per ton, but sales have been effected below
that rate. Ths quarterly meetings of the ironmasters com-
mence next Tuesday, April 6, at ; on Wednesday,
the 7th, at Wolverhampton; on Thursday, at Birmingham;
oa Friday, at Stourbridge ; and the concluding meeting of
the aeries will be held at Dudley, on Saturday, the 10th of
April.

THE QUEEN'S GIFT TO THE EMPEROR

NAPOLEON.

(From yesterday's Noniteur.)

A cannon and a field tumbril, presented to the
Emperor by her Majesty Queen Victoria, were brought this
morning (Tuesday) Into the court of the Tuileries by a
detachment of Horse-Artillery of the Imperial Guards.
The Emperor, accompanied by his Excellency Lord Cow-
ley, by the Minister of War and General de La Hitt, Pre-
sident of the Artillery Committee, examined with the greatest
minuteness this magnificent specimen of English artillery,
which, in addition to the convenience that our clever and
careful neighbours introduce into everything, displays the
most perfect finish in the workmanship both of the wood
and iron.

The English major, Andrews, waisted by a skilful officer
in attendance, explained In succession the mechanism and
purport of every part composing this beautiful article.
The piece, a 9-pounder in bore, is of rare workmanship and
polish, and bears a shield with the arms of France, above
which we read :—" From Queen Victoria to Napoleon III."
Bee Imperial Majesty appeared, accompanied by the Im-
perial prince, in order to show by her presence how sensible
she wee of the Queen's mutiny.
The Emperor, on retiring, expressed his high satisfaction
to Lord Cowley, u also to Major Andrews, whose explana-
tions were listened to by his Majesty with great interest.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The Faster revels at the Palace attracted a large
crowd of the holiday visitors, nearly 17,000 persona being
present during the day. The published programme wee
strictly adhered to, with the exception of the rope ascent
ever the central basin, the high wind prevailing
rendering it extremely dangerous. In the grounds
there was a continued round of amusements from 11 o'clock
until 1, concluding with a display of the upper series of
fountains , while in the Palace the music performed by tit+
orchestra of the company, and the Coldstream band afforded
ample

to those who did not are to eisounster
the cool breeze without. At half-peat four the two bands,
accompanied by Mr. Coward on the great organ, played
"Role Britannia," "Auld Luse Syne," and " God Save the
Queen," the assembled thousands joining in the chortle, which
had a remarkable effect, and was received with thunders of
applause. The music played until It was quite dusk, and
the visitors had nearly all departed. The revels are to be
repeated this day and to-morrow, with the addition of the
lops seated, wind and weather permitting.

TSB LEVIATHAN.

Yesterday afternoon considerable anxiety wu
manifested on the river for the safety of the Leviathan steam
ship, moored off Deptford, in oonaequence of the breaking of
two of her bow mooring chains. The ship all along has
been held by three chaity at her stem, and timing heavy
weather without soy failure of the moorings. In the course
of the forenoon of yesterday the wind gradually freshened up
from the eastward, until it blew almost a gale. About two
o'clock a very heavy 'quail from the E.N.E. came in full
force on the port bow of the huge ship, and, there being a
strong flood tide, caused en immense strain on the mooring
chains. Tho chain on the port bow f'et went, a link
breaking some dozen feet from the hawse hole, and, this
brinbing an increased pressure on the other two moorings,
the bow (stem) chain 'want. The wind end strong flood
which 'wept up the Reach caused the forward part of the
ship to incline towards the Deptford chore. Mr. Prowess, the
°Neer who wee in charge of the vessel, Captain Harrison
being absent on leave, immediately adopted eveti precaution
to secure and pro'oct the ship. Some steamers which lay
between the Leviathan end the shore, assisted in checking
the canting of the bow of the ship inwards. With all ex-
pedition a large hawser was laid out to the Dreadnought, and
three powerful steam tugs were brought to bear on the port
bow in hauling the ship into her former position. For-
tunately the squall was of short duration, but the weather
continued boisterous, and the tugs were engaged until late in
the evening in keeping the bow out, when the steamer was
again secured by additional chains from Brown and Lenox,
and the Thames Conservancy depot. The Leviathan has
sustained not the least injury, and, as fee u we could loam,
none of the vessels that were lying inside her were damaged,
with the exception of the stern of a dumb lighter being stove
in. As a matter of precaution, it was deemci prudent to have
one or two of the tugs in attendance daring the night, the
weather continuing unfavotueble. It should be stated that
the moorings at the stern remained firm.

STRAND THEATRE.

This little theatre, which has so long been self-
banished beyond the pale of dramatic criticism, re-opened
let night order the direction of Miss Swanborough, who
bag taken upon herself the task of resuscitating the days ren-
dered memorable in theatrical Runde by the two manage.
meets of Mr. Hammond and Mr. Ferree. To aid her in
bat undertaking she has called in the eminence of a small
sad affective company, comprieleg many well-known,
parlor, sad respected names, 'elected with the view oeper-
twain these small, nest, apinted vaudeville dramas that
ateawasaded to her by personal taste and forced upon
her by the mechanical exigencies of a circumscribed theatre.
Everything that can render the audience part of the hoses
ermentediourt and agreeable has been carefully and judiciiaely
doss, while the decorations are light end elegant, suited to
the miniature character of the piece.

The entertainments of the evening commenced with a new
comedy In two eats, by Mr. Stirling Coyne, called Not Aims
Venture, NotAing lire. The story Is short and concise.
There was an unanimous call for the author at the end, and
the piece was announced for repetition amidst the applause
M a crowded and sympathising bow..

The burlesque that followed is a comic. barite& up= the
wall-known subject of " Fes Diavolo;" well filled with songs,
deem, operatic concerted pieces, and all the popular acces-
sories of this form of entertainment.
After the comedy, Mies Swanborough came forward, and
delivered the following short address, written by Mr. Albert
Smith
When in the forum of old Rome they found
One morn a mighty chasm in the ground,
And Mama Curette to the margin ran,
fleeing an opening for a nbse y flung man,
So I, to sight, prepared to be self-hurled
Into tide void in the dramatic world,
Appear before you, old familiar friends—
Bat bare, I tsar, analogy all ends:
Into tAis gulf, unless your will oppree It,
I plunge to keep It open—not to awe it
Yet not without much trembling do I come
To welcome you to this, our little home.
" The Drama's Home," I might long winos hare said,
But the poor drama—bankrupt and half dad—
!s homeless, friendles., drifting to decay,
And her poor ettildnn live as best t hay may ;
So that the Dmma's Temple now might claim
",The Thema'. Alinahou.e." ss fitter name.
I found our Belo craft in its wore days,
When It was settling down upon its ways :
Bat the Leviathan was launched at last,
And so, by minor worriet ne'er downcast,
Taking advantage of the first spring tide,
late the stresmoit length, I saw her glide,
Thee got her under weigh—saw land grow fainter,
Set all 011, armee, and cast of the " painter."
Our crew b mall, but they have been all tried—
On the good will of each I ewe confide ;
TM, la war verge, trommeneing full of fear,
Unseetain yet se to which way to steer.
Dy your aristasee sled the little band
To lend at lee upon a friendly &rout
Let a. hope, on ibis our opening night,
Twee aware will hearty bar your maim light,
And tee will make, all 'domes tides to weather,

THE POLICE COMM.

W. H. Chadwick wee brought before the Lord Mayor,
charged with having robbed his employers, Masers. Smith,
Eider, and Co., the extensive publishers, of No. 65, Coruhill.
Mr. Wentner appeared for the prosecution, and stated that
the prisoner had been In the service of the firm about two
years- and-a-half, and had committed in the home a series of
robberies during that time; that be had been treated most
liberally, and that suspicion, having been entertained that he
had abased the confidatoe reposed in him, Jarvis, the City
detective officer, bad been directed to watch him, the result of
which was the discovery that plunder had been committed by
him to • serious amount. The prosecutors baring in their
employment 160 persons, considered it to be necessary to
maim -an example of any of their servants whom they found
to be guilty of acts of dishonesty, and had determined to
pursue that intention in the present instance.
Mr. Henry Samuel King, a partner in the firm, said—Front
mapicions which I entertained of the prisoner's conduct, I
gave directions to the police, and on Saturday night, at about
seven o'clock, the prisoner we brought to me by Jamie, the
detective officer. I raid to him, " I know why you were
brought beck, Mr. Chadwick ; you have been robbing us."
He said, " no use denying it, I have." I said, " You
have some of our property up-stain." He said, "I have,"
end I went with him up-stairs, end he opened hie drawer
with a key and took out four or fire books, and said "Those
are your property." I told him to get hie beg and unlock it,
and he took it from a cupboard and unlocked it, end took two
more book' out, and then he placed some other books down
and admitted that they were ours. The officer took a pocket-
book from him, and the prisoner said "That is your property, I
took it on Friday," and then the officeeproduced some
stamps, and the prisoner raid they belonged to the firrlin
wee then taken to the station-home. I have since that time
examined a number of the books which are produced by the
officer, which I believe to be our property. The prisoner
said he had left some at his house, and also some at the house
in King William-street.
Jarrk (the detective officer) said—On Saturday night I took
the prisoner into custody as he lett the premises of his em-
ployers, and brought him to Mr. King. At the station-
home the prisoner gave his address, and I went there, and
found 64 printed books, which I now produce, end several
parte of works. I found upon the prisoner's person a pocket-
book, which I produce, and also 12s. Gd. worth of postage
stamps. I saw him take front his drawer four books, and
from his bag four other., and from a shelf in the same room
two others to • parcel. I have since obtained five other
books from • house in King William-street.
The prisoner, upon being asked whether he wished to say
anything said, "No, no."
Committed for trial.
